Gilstead 38 — Charming 2-Bedroom in the Heart of District 11, Within 1km of ACS & SJI Primary
A rare find at Gilstead 38, — one of Newton/Novena's most established and sought-after enclaves. This 980 sqft, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home while largely kept largely in its original condition, carries a warmth and character that's hard to replicate: generously proportioned rooms, plenty of natural light throughout, and a layout that simply lives well. What sets this unit apart is its practical, family-friendly configuration — a separate yard, a dedicated utility area, and a yard bathroom — a real bonus for households that value functional space and discreet helper or laundry zones.
For families planning around school admissions, the address is hard to beat. It sits within 1km of Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) and SJI Primary, and within 2km of Singapore Chinese Girls' School, CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) and St Margaret's School (Primary) — placing you in the priority distance band for some of Singapore's most coveted primary schools.
Connectivity is just as strong. You're within easy walking distance of both Newton and Novena MRT stations, with direct access across the North-South and Downtown Lines. Add the surrounding amenities — Novena's medical hub, United Square, Velocity and a wealth of dining options minutes away — and you have a home that balances everyday convenience with a quiet, leafy residential feel.
Move-in ready and highly liveable as-is, with the kind of bones that reward the right tenant.
