Old-world charm: This gorgeous 2-storey heritage terrace house in Chip Bee Gardens is up for rent

In a city like Singapore where everything is fast-paced, it's hard to live a slow life. However, every once in a while, a unique chance arises for one to enjoy living away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Just yesterday (Oct 25), the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) shared a 46-second video on TikTok, offering a sneak peek of a property located at 76 Jalan Hitam Manis.

@singaporelandauthority It’s welcoming, cozy, and peaceful. This heritage property at 76 Jalan Hitam Manis is located within a close-knit and quiet community with several cafes and dining options within the vicinity.

This charming property, as detailed in the listing on the State Property Information Online (SPIO) website, is a two-story heritage terrace house available for rent.

Step past the front gates, and you'll be greeted by a spacious driveway adorned with heritage architecture which evokes a sense of timeless elegance.

Once inside the house, you will be welcomed by the warm and cosy interior consisting of a clean palette of white and wooden tones.

With a generous living space spanning 1,905.21 sq ft and a gross floor area of 1,860 sq ft, this heritage gem offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a separate kitchen.

However, the true highlight of this property has to be the balcony located on the second floor.

It provides a picturesque view, overlooking the idyllic Chip Bee Gardens neighbourhood.

The house is available for a two-year lease starting from Nov 6.

Bidding for this unique property has already commenced and will remain open until Oct 27 at 12pm. 

What's good in the 'hood?

Offering the best of both worlds, Chip Bee Gardens combines the conveniences of a central location, thanks to Holland Village MRT station on the Circle Line, with the qualities of a quieter, residential district.

Amidst the greenery, you'll find a delightful array of popular cafes and restaurants. Indulge in the famed croissants from Tiong Bahru Bakery or savour the iconic soft-serve ice cream at Sunday Folks cafe.

Other gastronomic highlights include Da Paolo Pizza Bar, Cha Cha Cha Mexican Restaurant and Original Sin Restaurant for tasty Mediterranean plant-based fare.

Alternatively, you can take a six-minute walk down to Holland Village Market & Food Centre for a true-blue Singaporean meal.
