22 Tiong Bahru Road

This might just be the home you almost missed.

This spacious apartment blends modern comfort with retro character — a refreshing alternative to today’s cookie-cutter condos. The landlord carried out an almost complete overhaul, intentionally retaining the iconic 1970s giraffe-pattern marble flooring as a nod to the home’s heritage.

The apartment has been sound-proofed, allowing you to enjoy even soft jazz in peace. Prefer natural ventilation instead? Open the windows. These homes were designed long before air-conditioning became common, with layouts optimised for cross-breezes and efficient airflow.

The bedroom enjoys a calming green outlook, creating a quiet and restful retreat.
The kitchen is well planned, offering ample countertop space for everyday cooking as well as hosting friends.

I could go on, but that would turn into a wall of text — and some of you might already be drifting off. So instead, click on the virtual tour and see if this feels like the right home for the next 24 months or longer.

If you like what you see (and just in case you missed it), bring your own piano if you want one
