The Gardens at Bishan is a 99-year leasehold condominium that was developed by GuocoLand. Completed in 2004, it comprises 756 units housed in four 20-storey blocks.
A 1,399 sq ft, two-bedroom unit is listed for sale on EdgeProp.sg at $1.19 million ($849 psf). The unit is well maintained and in good condition, and will be sold with vacant possession, according to Linndal Koh, a property agent from OrangeTee.com who is marketing the unit. The ground-floor unit does not face West, and is therefore not affected by the heat from the afternoon sun, she adds.
The main selling point of the property is its close proximity to the upcoming Bright Hill MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, which is expected to be completed in 2020, says Koh. In addition, Ai Tong School is located within 1km of the condo.
