Home Tour: D15 Freehold Rare 3-Bedroom Freehold Sanctuary at The Sea View – 1,410 SQFT of Refined Living in Amber Road

Welcome to The Sea View — a prized freehold development in Singapore’s coveted District 15, Amber Road. Surrounded by the timeless character of Katong and just minutes from the beach and the upcoming Marine Parade MRT station, this residence offers the perfect blend of space, heritage, and functionality in a modern, well-maintained estate.

We present to you a rare 1,410 square foot, 3-bedroom unit with a helper’s room, three bathrooms, and a private greenery-facing balcony. Unlike many newer developments, this home offers exceptional spaciousness, full-length windows, high ceilings, and a regular, highly efficient layout. With its enduring appeal and low-density surroundings, it is ideal for both owner-occupiers and long-term investors seeking undervalued freehold assets.

A Home Rooted in History and Charm

The Sea View is built on the former site of the historic Seaview Hotel, once a grand colonial-era retreat by the sea. Before land reclamation pushed Singapore’s coastline outward, this was a true beachfront destination where weddings, social events, and weekend getaways unfolded against the backdrop of sea breeze and swaying palms.

Today, a fully restored heritage building — the hotel’s original ballroom — remains on site as a conserved clubhouse, offering a tangible connection to Singapore’s seaside legacy. It is a rare example of how heritage and modern residential living have been blended seamlessly in a premium development.

Grand Proportions and Functional Elegance

Upon entry, a private foyer offers both privacy and a gracious transition into the main home. Step in, and the sense of space is immediately apparent.

The living and dining areas are large and rectangular, free from awkward corners, and allow for multiple layout options. With higher-than-average ceilings and full-length windows, the living space feels bright, open, and inviting. Whether you’re entertaining or enjoying a quiet evening in, the proportions give you freedom to create zones for relaxation, dining, or even a home office or study nook.

Designed for Light, Breeze and Tranquility

Unlike higher floors that may face surrounding developments or ongoing construction, this low-floor unit was specifically chosen for its peaceful outlook onto mature greenery. It provides privacy, filtered daylight, and cool natural ventilation, thanks to its unblocked frontage and cross-breeze design.

The balcony extends the living space outdoors and is spacious enough for alfresco dining, potted plants, or simply lounging with a book while surrounded by nature. The entire unit is east-facing, with no afternoon sun, allowing for all-day comfort without excessive heat.

Kitchen and Utility: Form and Function

The enclosed kitchen is ideal for families who cook frequently. It offers generous cabinetry, ample worktop space, and clean separation from the rest of the home. Behind, a service yard, helper’s room, and third bathroom form a compact yet effective utility zone with an airy pool view— discreetly tucked away for maximum convenience.

Regular Layouts, Full-Length Windows, and Comfortable Bedrooms

All three bedrooms feature regular layouts, making furniture planning easy. The master bedroom comfortably fits a king-sized bed, wardrobes, and still has space for a vanity or reading corner. Full-height windows in every room bring in abundant natural light and frame views of greenery.

The master ensuite bathroom includes both a standing shower and a bathtub — perfect for winding down at the end of the day. Bedrooms two and three are generously sized, easily fitting queen beds or dual-use configurations for study and rest.

Three Bathrooms for Daily Comfort

The unit includes:

• An ensuite master bathroom with bathtub and shower

• A common bathroom for the second and third bedrooms

• A third bathroom in the yard area for helper or utility use

This layout ensures efficiency and comfort, even for larger families or guests.

The Sea View: Timeless, Spacious and Exceptionally Well-Maintained

Completed in 2008 by Wheelock Properties, The Sea View spans over 446,000 sqft of land — an exceptionally large land area for a city-fringe condo. The development is low-density, thoughtfully spaced out with generous landscaping, wide walkways, and multiple open lawns that give it a resort-like feel.

Residents enjoy:

• Multiple swimming pools (lap pool, leisure pool, kids’ pool)

• Tennis courts

• A fully equipped gym

• BBQ pits and function rooms

• Restored heritage clubhouse

• 24-hour security and ample basement parking

The estate is meticulously maintained, with standards akin to serviced residences — a rare quality in older developments.

Comparative Market Perspective: Undervalued Freehold Opportunity

While many new freehold condos in District 15 are boutique in scale, The Sea View offers a full suite of facilities, land size, and lifestyle comfort unmatched by smaller projects. Yet, its price per square foot remains significantly lower, positioning it as an undervalued gem for savvy buyers.
