Orchard Sophia delivers understated value and quality

Don’t underestimate the value of Orchard Sophia, a boutique freehold property on Sophia Road, the latest in this year’s wave of new projects. Strategically located in the Core Central Region, the 78-unit apartment offers premium homes at an affordable price, both for homeowners and investors alike.

West Mall is a great option for Tengah Plantation EC residents who are looking for a convenient place to shop and dine. West Mall is open every day, and its opening hours are usually 10am to 10pm. It also has plenty of parking for visitors.

Positioned at Mount Sophia, a hilltop residential enclave near Dhoby Ghaut, Orchard Sophia has been designed to give the feel of an exclusive boutique hotel. Residents are welcomed with a harmonising colour palette that perfectly complements the architecture, right from the drop-off point to the basement car park and the walkways.

A bird’s-eye view of Orchard Road and Istana Park awaits those who buy apartments at Orchard Sophia. Perched on Mount Sophia, most units come with unblocked cityscape views, while others overlook the inner courtyard with its 20m lap pool. Rooftop facilities include a 6,000 sq ft deck with a spa, outdoor gym, lounge, and bar.

The unit mix at Orchard Sophia ranges from 55 two-bedroom units of 581 sq ft to 710 sq ft, 15 one-bedroom units of 441 sq ft to 484 sq ft, 3 three-bedroom units of 764 sq ft and 5 three-bedroom dual key units of 829 sq ft to 840 sq ft. 40% of the apartments have been sold at an average price of $2,800 psf — much lower than the RCR median price of $2,700 psf.

Quality fittings and appliances, such as Smeg kitchen appliances, a Bosch washer and dryer, and Franke kitchen faucets, add to the appeal. KItchen backsplashes and sintered stone countertops give a contemporary look while the living rooms are covered with large format porcelain tiles with a matte finish. Every bathroom comes with Gessi shower sets, Hansgrohe accessories, Duravit water closets and Geberit flush plates.

The Mount Sophia and Sophia Road area is unique in that it lies close to Orchard Road and Dhoby Ghaut, yet offers a serene residential setting. Residents here can benefit from the government master plan to enhance the various precincts and side streets in the area, transforming the Dhoby Ghaut precinct into a lush and family-friendly zone and Tanglin into a mixed-use district.

A five-minute walk from Orchard Sophia will take you to Plaza Singapura, which is connected to the Dhoby Ghaut Interchange on the North-East, North-South, and Circle MRT Lines. Other nearby prime commercial developments include Cuppage Plaza, The Centrepoint, Orchard Central, 313@ Somerset, Ion Orchard, Paragon and Ngee Ann City.

For families with school-going children, Orchard Sophia is surrounded by several schools and educational institutions such as St Margaret’s Primary School, Stamford Primary School, LaSalle College of the Arts (McNally Campus), School of the Arts, Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) and Singapore Management University.
