11 Cantonment Close

Set on a high floor of a 30-storey block along Cantonment Close, this 1,184 sqft five-room Improved residence looks out to the South China Sea where the working harbour, the shipping lanes, and an open stretch of sky that changes character from first light to dusk. Turn inward to the master bedroom and the mood shifts entirely: mature canopy, low-rise green, and the quiet of Spottiswoode Park unfolding below.

Inside, the layout is generous in a way newer homes rarely are. The living and dining space runs long and uninterrupted, framed by a recessed ceiling with layered downlighting and finished in patterned encaustic-style tiling. A dedicated study alcove sits by the window, so work has a home of its own. The galley kitchen is fully fitted with full-height cabinetry, stone-look countertops and a hand-laid mosaic backsplash. Bedrooms are properly sized, warm underfoot in timber, with cross-breezes from both aspects.

The address does the rest of the work. Cantonment MRT is 340m away, Outram Park interchange 590m, Tanjong Pagar 710m. Cantonment Primary School sits at your doorstep at 120m. Fairprice Finest, Cold Storage and Don Don Donki are all within 420m, with 100 AM and the Tanjong Pagar dining belt a short walk on. The CBD is a ten-minute commute; Sentosa and the southern coast are barely further.

Only 145 units in the development, with 29 five-room homes among them. There is a balance of 75 years of lease remaining from 2002.

A high-floor sea view in the city fringe is not something the market produces on demand. Viewing by appointment.
