Inside a $10.8M Home Tour of a Conservation Landed @ Cairnhill Orchard Singapore (Melvin Lim)

Conservation shophouses are an integral part of Singapore’s architectural and built heritage. There are only over 6,500 of them in Singapore, mainly located in the city centre and around its fringes. A legitimate collector’s item, the scarcity value for conserved shophouses will increase, reflecting the sense of prestige and privilege in owning a sizeable piece of national history.

Cairnhill Road is one of the rare few along the row of conservation shophouses that features 2,562 SQFT of land with about 4,000 SQFT of built-up living space including 5 bedrooms and 6 baths for the family that appreciates space and is in search of building a home filled with a rich heritage.

This house is also one of 5 in the entire row of shophouses with a covered carpark at the back that can accommodate 2 cars and also room for 1 car at the front of the house.

Step into your home and a grand sunlight-filled ambience surrounds you as sunlight streams in from both air wells. The shophouse essence was retained with the skylights and air wells which are characteristic features of shophouse architecture.

By enhancing the sense of space, air can flow through and ventilate the entire house. With many windows opening up from the bedrooms into the living areas, space provides intimacy together with privacy at the same time.
