Located in a convenient corner of Ang Mo Kio, this flat offers quick access to both Mayflower and Ang Mo Kio MRT stations, each under 15 minutes on foot.

The home also sits within 1km of CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School.
Set in a private corner, the flat shares the lift lobby with just one household. Its thoughtful layout maximises usable space and draws in plenty of daylight. A bright living area connects to a long kitchen that can double as a dining space. All three bedrooms are well proportioned, and a utility area behind the kitchen offers flexibility as an extra room or storage.

Why I like it
This mature-estate apartment enjoys a prime city-fringe location between Redhill and Tiong Bahru MRT stations, both next to shopping malls. Redhill, Bukit Merah View and Beo Crescent markets are close at hand, and the nearby park connector provides a pleasant route to the Singapore River.
The home offers privacy being set at the end of the corridor. Its regular floor plan makes furniture planning easy, while full-height windows invite plenty of natural light, a rare feature in older flats. The living room feels open and bright, and the extended kitchen allows for separation of wet and dry areas. Each of the three bedrooms is comfortably sized for versatile use.

Within a 15-minute walk of Braddell MRT station and Jackson Square, this flat offers excellent everyday convenience.

Pei Chun Public School is located within one kilometre.
Positioned beside only one neighbouring home, this corner unit enjoys a sense of privacy. The layout is practical, with airy interiors and an open living area linked to a spacious kitchen that can fit a dining set. Minimal built-ins make renovation easy, while the original terrazzo flooring helps keep the space naturally cool in Singapore’s warm climate.

Just under 15 minutes from Boon Keng MRT, this flat sits close to Whampoa Food Centre, with Bendemeer Market and Food Centre about a 16-minute walk away. The block connects directly to the park connector that stretches to Kallang Riverside Park.
Part of a point block with only four homes on each level, the flat sits above the tree line with pleasant sunlight and views. The extended living space includes a Space Adding Item that functions like an indoor balcony. Unlike most 4-room interiors of this type, the bathroom and WC are placed along the hallway for easier access. All three bedrooms are nicely sized for practical use.
