Finding a brand-new freehold detached home in Bukit Timah is quite rare. Finding one that combines contemporary architecture, six ensuite bedrooms, a private lift, basement parking for up to five cars, a swimming pool and close to 10,000 sq ft of built-up space is rarer still.
Tucked within a leafy enclave just a short walk from King Albert Park MRT Station, 28 Sian Tuan Avenue has been thoughtfully designed for families looking to put down roots for generations.
For Daphne Tan, what stood out was not just the architecture, but the thought that had gone into creating a home that could adapt to a family’s changing needs over time
“When evaluating a luxury home, I always ask myself one question: beyond the architecture, will it still feel right for the family ten or twenty years from now?” she explains. “That’s what impressed me about 28 Sian Tuan Avenue. Every space has been designed with longevity and everyday living in mind.”

Rather than focusing on the specifications, Tan found herself picturing the everyday moments the home was designed to accommodate: children walking to nearby Methodist Girls' School, grandparents moving comfortably between floors using the lift, weekend breakfasts around the kitchen island, festive dinners in the formal dining room, and evenings spent watching a movie together overlooking the illuminated pool.
“It's these little lifestyle details that transform a beautiful house into a wonderful family home,” she says.
Designed across multiple levels, the home balances generous communal spaces with private retreats. Every bedroom comes with its own ensuite bathroom, allowing each family member to have their own sanctuary while naturally encouraging everyone to come together in the dining room, breakfast nook, entertainment spaces or outdoors by the pool.

That family-first approach was exactly what award-winning architect Kevin Tan of aKTa-rchitects set out to achieve.
“True luxury is quiet and lasting,” he says. “It comes from generous spaces, natural light, quality materials and thoughtful details that make everyday living more enjoyable.”
Rather than chasing design trends, the house embraces clean architectural lines, soft white finishes and warm timber tones. Natural light, privacy and greenery were carefully considered from the outset, creating interiors that feel bright, peaceful and connected to nature while remaining comfortably secluded from neighbouring homes.
“I imagine a family that enjoys spending time together while also valuing personal space,” says Tan. “The home is designed to adapt as the family's needs change over time.”
Beyond the architecture, the location further enhances its appeal. Set within one of Bukit Timah's most established landed neighbourhoods, the home is privately located yet enjoys easy access to public transport, reputable schools, everyday amenities, and the area's well-loved parks and green spaces, offering a lifestyle that combines convenience with tranquillity.
For buyers considering a newly built detached home, Daphne Tan says that 28 Sian Tuan Avenue occupies a compelling position in today's market.

Buyers comparing premium detached homes in District 10 will find that residences of similar scale and quality often command significantly higher prices. 28 Sian Tuan Avenue offers the same standard of contemporary luxury, just minutes away, making it one of Bukit Timah’s most compelling value propositions.
“Today’s buyers aren’t simply comparing land sizes. They’re comparing the cost, time and uncertainty of rebuilding against the opportunity to move straight into a thoughtfully designed home. That’s where I believe 28 Sian Tuan Avenue stands out,” she says.
Ultimately, however, Tan believes buyers will remember something else entirely.
“Rather than just the square footage or the number of rooms, I hope they remember how the home made them feel,” she comments.
Because for the right family, 28 Sian Tuan Avenue is not just another luxury detached house, but a place designed for the moments that matter most — a home that already feels ready to welcome its next chapter.
