80 Chay Yan Street

Let’s get one thing straight immediately: this is not a “move-in renovated” unit.
And that’s precisely why this conserved Tiong Bahru walk-up apartment is interesting.

This 947 sqft (88 sqm) 1st floor 3-bedroom apartment sits within the URA-conserved Tiong Bahru estate, offering something increasingly rare, an original-condition home with proper bones. No strange angles. No compromised layout. Just space, proportion, and potential.

Think of it as a blank canvas, the kind renovators, designers, and savvy homeowners quietly hunt for while others are distracted by shiny tiles and borrowed taste.

Inside, you’ll find original terrazzo flooring, hardwood parquet, and timber-panelled doors from an era when homes were built with intent. Large windows bring in abundant natural light, and the layout allows multiple living zones without feeling cramped. Bright, breezy, and flexible.

There’s also a proper balcony, not a token ledge, but a genuine outdoor extension for morning coffee or evening downtime.

This is a 2nd storey unit with unblocked views, good airflow, and a smooth internal flow. Renovate lightly, renovate boldly, or restore sympathetically; the choice is yours.

Tiong Bahru’s conservation estate includes Tiong Bahru Road, Seng Poh Road, Tiong Poh Road, Eng Hoon Street, Eng Watt Street, Guan Chuan Street, Yong Siak Street, Chay Yan Street, Moh Guan Terrace, Lim Liak Street, Kim Pong Road, and Kim Cheng Street, a tightly held neighbourhood known for heritage and long-term appeal.

Walk to Tiong Bahru Market, neighbourhood shops, cafés, and everyday amenities. Tiong Bahru MRT is about five minutes away with easy access to the CBD.

In short:
This isn’t a finished product. It’s an opportunity to create a home that respects heritage, rewards imagination, and sits in one of Singapore’s most tightly held conservation neighbourhoods. These don’t come around often. Oh, and worth mentioning, this is a sincere seller.
