Looking to embark on the landed landscape while being in the intermediary stage of the landed property market? Then this 2-storey home along Jalan Usaha is one to consider! Melvin Lim explains why freehold inter-terrace is the ideal pivot home for such situations, before advancing to the next stage! 

At 1,600 sq ft (built-up), on 1,281 sq ft of land, this may not be the largest landed home, yet there’s plenty of potential to work with. Currently a 2-bed, 3-bath config, there’s the option to add a third bedroom under the stairway space. The car porch is sheltered all the way, which could also serve as an al fresco dining space. The land plot is slightly elevated in a sloped up fashion, providing privacy. The setback distance of the home from the next is also a nice distance, adding not only privacy but good ventilation as well. 

Located at the brim of D19, or almost D13, this spot is popular with families hunting for the best of both worlds. Not only is Bartley MRT Station just across the street, there are 2 popular primary schools with their affiliated secondary counterparts within a 1km radius. It’s close proximity to Kensington Square, home to a couple of bistros and cafes. Right across the home are rows of shops with more cafes and even the famous Katong laksa. Don’t miss out on this great starter home into the landed market!
