Ground floor units might not be for everyone, but for those who enjoy the ease of access of low-floor living, this 797-square-foot unit could be one to look at.
The layout is straightforward and practical, and offers three well-sized bedrooms, a squarish and spacious living room, and a similarly proportioned kitchen.
With the kitchen’s current size and shape, there’s the potential to create a dedicated yard space or split it into wet and dry kitchen areas, depending on your needs. An interesting feature is the dual entry—one from the main entrance and the other from the kitchen, offering flexibility in how you use the space.
As for the location, the block is less than a 15-minute walk to both Redhill and Tiong Bahru MRT stations (East-West line). Living in a mature estate comes with its perks – residents have access to a wide range of amenities within walking distance, including Redhill Market, Bukit Merah View Market & Hawker Centre, Beo Crescent Market, Valley Point Shopping Centre, and Tiong Bahru Plaza.
