Why I like it
An 11-minute stroll to Boon Keng MRT makes this unit at Whampoa Drive quite conveniently connected, with a range of amenities just around the corner. In less than 5 minutes, you can be at the Whampoa market & food centre, with Bendemeer market a short 15-minute walk away. Food enthusiasts will appreciate the variety of eateries along Balestier Road, which is within walking distance too.
One unique feature here is its point block setup, where each corner of the block holds just one unit offering privacy and a corridor-free design. The layout is regularly shaped, making furniture arrangement straightforward, with living and dining areas thoughtfully segregated. All three bedrooms are well-proportioned, with one exceptionally spacious room. Additionally, you have flexibility with the bathroom and WC setup: they can be combined, or you can create an ensuite by adding an opening into the WC from one of the bedrooms.

Why I like it
Located within a 15-minute walk from Mayflower MRT, this unit at Ang Mo Kio is not the nearest located to the MRT although a short walk takes you to Kebun Bahru market & food centre, along with a range of food options in the nearby HDB estates. Nature lovers will enjoy the proximity to Bishan Ang Mo Kio Park too.
Families with young children will appreciate that it’s within 1km of two sought-after primary schools, Ai Tong School and CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School. This door-to-door unit shares the lift lobby with only one neighbor, which adds to the privacy factor.
The layout is efficient enough with minimal wasted space, and the unblocked view means the unit enjoys natural light. In the inside, the spacious living area can double up as a dining area, while the long kitchen offers plenty of room for a dining set.

Situated right next to Boon Keng MRT, this unit is suitable for those who need convenience.

The living area is decently spacious, while the kitchen is designed with a sizeable balcony. The bathroom and WC in the kitchen can be merged for convenience, and the master bedroom has a unique extension that leads to the bathroom, allowing the potential for a walk-in closet.

The unit’s point block layout, with one unit on each corner, ensures privacy and a corridor-free environment. The living and dining spaces are thoughtfully separated, and the living room includes an extended area that provides extra spaciousness.
