2 Bed Apartment (Condo) for Rent in Tiong Bahru Estate

If you’re after something sleek, shiny, and soulless, keep scrolling. But if you’re looking for a home with actual character—and a splash of 1930s nostalgia—this might just be your unicorn. Step through the unassuming street-level door and you're greeted by a stairwell straight out of an old-world film set. It’s got all the charm of a pre-war shophouse, minus the termites. The landlord, wisely, didn’t strip away the soul. You’ll still find original 1930s features like a timber-framed transom and green cathedral glass that screams “vintage” without being tacky. Inside, the apartment is flooded with light, thanks to its full street-facing frontage. But fret not—the windows are double-glazed, so you can enjoy the buzz of the neighbourhood without actually hearing it. There are two loos—a full bath and a powder room (because fighting over a toilet first thing in the morning is nobody’s idea of fun). And tucked inside the kitchen cabinets: a mini dishwasher, for those who believe handwashing dishes is a medieval punishment. Now, the location—and here’s where it gets exciting. You’re in the beating heart of Tiong Bahru, right along Seng Poh Road. It's not just a street—it's practically a curated lifestyle. Your neighbours include Tiong Bahru Bakery, Nimble/Knead spa, and the Tiong Bahru Market, a national treasure disguised as a hawker centre. There’s no need for a car, a Grab, or even a plan. Everything—coffee, groceries, dumplings, and yoga—is just around the corner. It’s old. It’s bold. And it’s in one of the most charming, walkable, and culturally rich neighbourhoods Singapore has to offer. What more do you want—valet parking and a butler? Call me now and the movers next.
