A 1,001 sq ft, two-bedroom unit at Rosewood Suites was put up for auction on June 26 for the first time by Edmund Tie and Co (ET&Co). This was a mortgagee sale with a guide price of $835,000 ($834 psf). The property received no bids and was not sold, and it will be put up for auction again.

The unit comes with a study room and is spacious, with a functional and squarish layout, says Tan. It has a closed-concept kitchen, “which is more uncommon for newer two-bedroom units as these usually offer a kitchenette”, she adds. The unit faces south and is surrounded by greenery.
