District 15 is a highly sought after residential area in Singapore. It mixes city convenience with a chill, suburban vibe. The area covers neighborhoods like Meyer Road, Tanjong Rhu, Amber, Katong, Joo Chiat, Telok Kurau and Marine Parade, each with its own unique style and way of life that attracts all sorts of folks.

As a real estate agent focusing on the properties in District 15 and 16, I am thrilled to review this latest listing for sale that I've been entrusted.

About this 3-bedroom unit in Tembeling Court
This 3-bedroom unit is impressively spacious, boasting an expansive area of 1,324 sqf!
In today’s real estate market, it is increasingly rare to find 3-bedroom apartments that offer such a generous floor area, especially in the newer developments that tend to prioritise compact living spaces.
Upon entering the unit, you are immediately greeted by a sense of tranquility and zen energy that fills the whole unit. The design of the unit encourages a seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The balcony acts as an extension of the living area, featuring cozy seating that lets you relax and take in the view of the greenery.
One of the standout features of this apartment is the large, expansive windows that line one side, allowing natural light to flood the interior. These oversized windows ensure that the unit remains bright and airy throughout the day.
I like that the dining area is separated from the living room. This thoughtful design choice creates a distinct environment for each space. The separation not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the house but also fosters a more intimate atmosphere for dining, without the distractions that might arise from the living room setting, where activities such as watching television or playing games might be taking place.
The kitchen is of a functional size, designed to balance practicality with comfort.
One of the most remarkable features in the master bedroom is undoubtedly the large corner windows that brings in the natural light, brightening every part of the bedroom and providing views of the tranquil surroundings.
Are you someone who needs ample wardrobe space to accommodate your extensive collection of clothing, shoes, and accessories? If yes, you will undoubtedly fall in love with this thoughtfully designed second bedroom, which has been expertly converted into a luxurious walk-in wardrobe! Imagine stepping into a spacious area that not only provides plenty of room for all your favourite outfits but also allows for easy organization and accessibility.
The third bedroom has been thoughtfully converted into a study room, transforming the space into a functional and inspiring environment for productivity.
If you have a growing family, you can easily convert the two common rooms into functional bedrooms that cater to the needs of each family member.
