5 Recently-Renovated Million-Dollar HDB Flats Near an MRT Station (from $1.3M)

This week, we’re taking a slightly different route from our usual focus on the most affordable units in various estates. 

Instead, we’ve spotlighted five recently renovated million-dollar HDB flats that offer both style and convenience. While these homes come with a heftier price tag, they’ve been recently renovated, making them move-in ready. 

Beyond their interiors, each of these flats is also within walking distance of an MRT station, making them ideal for those who prioritise both comfort and connectivity.

3B Upper Boon Keng Road

$1,300,000

Why I like it

If you’re after a spacious, newly renovated home near the city, this high-floor 5-room flat at Upper Boon Keng Road is worth a look. 

Just a short walk from Kallang MRT (EWL), it’s surrounded by conveniences—Upper Boon Keng Market & Food Centre is right across the street, with a supermarket and coffee shop within the cluster. Foodies will love the proximity to Geylang Road’s eateries, while Kallang Riverside Park offers a scenic escape.

Spanning 1,184 sq ft, the unit originally had three bedrooms, but the owner has merged one with the master for a more expansive space. Folding doors in the living area allow for flexible configurations—easily creating one or two extra rooms when needed. Full-height windows bring in plenty of natural light, making the space feel even larger.

Recently renovated, the home’s clean, minimal design makes it move-in ready—ideal for those who appreciate a bright and versatile living space.

102A Bidadari Park Drive

$1,150,000

Why I like it

Located a short walk from Woodleigh MRT (NEL) and Woodleigh Mall, this 4-room unit is within walking distance of Woodleigh Village Hawker Centre, Alkaff Lake, and Bidadari Park—a well-balanced mix of convenience and greenery.

Inside, it is sized at 1,001 square feet and the dumbbell layout ensures efficient use of space with minimal walkways. The owner has reconfigured the original three-bedroom setup by merging the master with a common bedroom, creating a larger, more open space. Instead of solid walls, they’ve opted for a full-height glass sliding door, seamlessly extending the short corridor into the bedroom—enhancing both usability and openness. The open kitchen further adds to this effect, with a kitchen counter that doubles as a dining area, smartly delineating the space without adding bulk.

Additional design tweaks also help to amplify the sense of space. A built-in platform along the living room windows offers extra seating and storage, while a mirrored wall panel behind the sofa visually expands the living area.

115A Alkaff Crescent

$1,150,000

Why I like it

If you’re looking for a move-in-ready home in Bidadari, this 4-room flat might be a solid option. 

Just a short walk of Woodleigh MRT (NEL) and Woodleigh Mall, it’s well-located for everyday convenience, with Woodleigh Village Hawker Centre and a coffee shop nearby. Nature lovers will also appreciate being a short walk from Alkaff Lake and Bidadari Park.

This flat just reached its MOP recently (it was completed in 2020), and the unit is sized at 1,001 square feet. It features an efficient dumbbell layout, minimising wasted space. The well-sized living and dining area flows seamlessly into an open kitchen, enhancing the sense of space. A kitchen counter doubles as a dining area, making it ideal for quick meals or casual gatherings.

Practicality is also well thought out, with a separate, enclosed service balcony for laundry and extra storage. The overall unit has been newly added and recently designed, making it great for those who want a move-in ready home.

39A Margaret Drive 

$1,580,000

Why I like it

Located a short walk from Queenstown MRT (EWL), this 5-room flat offers both convenience and a serene city-facing view. The Margaret Drive Hawker Centre, a coffee shop, and a park connector to the Singapore River are all within walking distance.

At only four years old, this unit is being sold before MOP. Sitting on a high floor, it enjoys an unblocked city-facing view while still feeling tucked away from the hustle. The living and dining areas are well-segregated, and clever built-in storage solutions fully use the space without adding bulk.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed, split into wet and dry areas, separated by a glass sliding door. On the other hand, the service yard has been hacked to extend the wet kitchen, creating a more functional kitchen. A standout feature? The terrazzo tiles add a nostalgic charm to this otherwise modern home.

With three bedrooms and room for a study, this is a well-designed home in a centrally located yet peaceful estate.

25A Saint George’s Lane

$1,188,888

Why I like it

This 4-room flat at Saint George’s Lane is well-situated for daily convenience, with Boon Keng MRT (NEL) just a short walk away, and Bendemeer Market & Food Centre and various dining options nearby. 

Sitting along the park connector that leads to Kallang Riverside Park, it’s great for those who enjoy a mix of city living and outdoor spaces.

At 990 square feet, the unit’s layout has been reconfigured for a more open feel: one of the common bedrooms has been hacked to expand the living area, while the dining and living spaces remain well-segregated. The open kitchen enhances the sense of space, with a service yard hacked to extend the kitchen and an island counter that doubles as a dining table.

In the master bedroom, a walk-in closet with sliding barn doors adds character, while the unit’s dark wood tones and black industrial-style trimmings create a stylish, modern aesthetic.
