25 Sin Ming Road

$448,888

Why I like it

Two things typically come to mind when you think of Upper Thomson: a sprawling, landed enclave and the vibrant rows of eateries lining Upper Thomson Road.

This block enjoys a tranquil setting, overlooking the serene landed estate along Sin Ming Road, providing a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Upper Thomson MRT Station (TEL) is a 10-minute walk away, along with Shunfu Mart and Thomson Plaza. The main stretch of Upper Thomson Road is also well-known for its diverse range of cafes, restaurants, and eateries, adding to the lifestyle appeal for residents. Alternatively, Sin Ming Plaza is another option, just a short 7-minute stroll from the block.

For nature lovers, MacRitchie Reservoir is close by and families with young children will also appreciate that two well-regarded primary schools, Ai Tong and Catholic High, are within a 1-km radius.

The unit spans 947 square feet and features a straightforward, efficient layout. It includes three bedrooms, a squarish living area, and a spacious kitchen with a sizeable utility room.

101 Henderson Crescent 

$449,999

Why I like it

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.

318 Bukit Batok Street 32

$500,000

Why I like it

Located right next to Bukit Batok Hillside Park, this unit could be a great fit for families seeking a spacious yet peaceful home close to an MRT station. It’s an 8-minute walk to Bukit Gombak MRT Station (North-South line) and a short distance from Bukit Gombak Neighbourhood Centre, which offers a wet market, two supermarkets, and plenty of dining options.

For nature lovers, apart from Bukit Batok Hillside Park’s trails, you’re also close to Bukit Batok Town Park, with a park connector that links to Bukit Batok Nature Park and even Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

Living in a mature estate comes with its benefits, and this unit in Bedok South Avenue 2 is no exception. 

For one, you’ll have access to three nearby markets and food centres—16 Bedok South, 216 Bedok North, and The Marketplace @ 58—all within a short walk. If you need more options, Bedok MRT Station (East-West line), Bedok Mall, and Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre are just under a 15-minute stroll away, giving you a wide range of amenities right at your doorstep.

480 Jurong West Street 41

$510,000

Why I like it

With the ongoing transformation of the Jurong Lake District, this unit presents an opportunity for those looking to benefit from the area’s development. 

Situated close to the Lakeside Garden, it’s less than a 15-minute walk to Lakeside MRT Station (East-West line). For everyday conveniences, both Hong Kah Point and Jurong Central Plaza are within walking distance, offering easy access to food and groceries.

For families with school-going children, the unit is within a 1-km radius of the popular Rulang Primary School.

Spanning 1,001 square feet, the unit offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room, a store room, and a well-sized kitchen.

Additionally, with hackable walls, this unit is ideal for those looking to undertake a full renovation. Being a corner unit, it offers added privacy too.
