Video description from @propertylimbrothers

Opportunities to own an HDB shophouse are few and far between, and this 2-storey unit at Kim Tian Vista is a prime example of why they are so sought after. Spanning 1,507 sq ft, the property combines a 644 sq ft ground-floor commercial frontage with an 863 sq ft residential quarter above. The street-level space, currently home to a music school, features a reception, three rooms, pantry, and washroom—ideal for enrichment, wellness, or F&B establishments. Upstairs, the 3-room layout offers two bedrooms, generous living and dining areas, a full kitchen, plus WC and shower, creating the right balance between investment and usability. Few property types offer this dual-purpose flexibility in such a central location, making this HDB shophouse a rare catch.

Located in the heart of Kim Tian Estate, the unit enjoys a strong catchment from nearby residential and industrial zones. Within walking distance to Tiong Bahru MRT on the East West Line and Tiong Bahru Plaza, connectivity extends further via the CTE and the AYE. The precinct is surrounded by a mix of long-standing and up-and-coming developments, including SGH and multiple schools, positioning the property well for future transformation. With no MOP or SSD involved, and GST-exempt status, this HDB shophouse unlocks a strategic foothold in a maturing enclave with rising rental upside.
