About Carlyx Residence
Carlyx Residence is a small freehold apartment block at 39 Carlisle Road, Singapore 219604, in District 8 (Farrer Park / Serangoon Road). It was completed in 2006 by World Class Land Pte Ltd and holds just 12 homes on a plot of about 671 square metres. Its sister block, Carlyx Green, stands next door at number 41.
The building is a typical boutique infill project of the mid-2000s: one compact block on a former house plot, with little in the way of shared grounds. It sits on the quieter southern stretch of Carlisle Road, among low-rise houses and walk-up flats, and remains a standing, strata-titled residence managed by MCST 3236.
Interesting facts
With 12 units, Carlyx Residence is among the smallest strata developments in the Farrer Park area. The gross floor area is listed at about 939 square metres.
Carlisle Road belongs to a group of 22 streets near Pek Kio that are named after English counties and cities, such as Dorset, Norfolk, Hertford and Truro. This is a fact about the neighbourhood rather than the building.
Municipal records cited by local historians show Carlisle Road was surfaced and drained in 1929, as the estate was being laid out.
The same developer built both Carlyx blocks a year apart, which explains the shared name.
