General overview

We’ve lovingly done up our home ourselves. Only 500 black and white houses exist in Singapore and only a fraction of those so close (a 10 min drive or 15min tube) to the hustle and bustle of Singapores fashion centre - Orchard Road. Nestled within the jungle yet almost completely mosquito free it’s a tropical peaceful oasis yet so convenient for some of the worlds best restaurants. If you enjoy opening up the full wall doors and living an inside/outside life, with the light breeze and evening crickets - then this is for you. Our helper, Tri works tirelessly with a constant smile on her face doing all cleaning ironing laundry and cooking. Always happy to engage and lend a hand and having worked in a bakery previously loves to surprise you with cookies or brownies. She’s exceptional at both European food and Asian - her laksa is genuinely outstanding!

The space

The garden has a pool with decking and an outside covered bbq with sink and cooking area. There’s also a converted chest freezer outside for the avid athlete looking for an ice bath! The terrace has a dining room table for 8 and comfortable seating for many more. Inside there is the living room / dining room (again seating 8) with a piano and Samsung frame TV. The extension is an office space with three desks (double screens available on two) and a 65inch Samsung TV with Samsung surround sound for the movie enthusiast. We recently refurbished the downstairs loo to include a shower behind crittle mimicking the black and white nature of its surroundings The kitchen holds everything you’d expect including a full length wine fridge and large gas range cooker. A larder next door holds another chest freezer and washing machine as well as storage. Downstairs next to Tris bedroom/en-suite bathroom is a children’s bedroom with bunk beds. All rooms and bedrooms have airconditioning apart from the kitchen and bathrooms Finally perhaps the largest room downstairs is the children’s playroom. Stuffed with toys and sports fun for our 5 year old boy/girl twins. Upstairs is another recently refinished bathroom with separate bath and shower and two large windows over looking the jungle and remain open (as you wish) as they have total privacy. A treat considering how central the home is. The master bedroom looks over the garden and swimming pool. Two large double cupboards frame the huge windows. The other two bedrooms upstairs consist of a huge twins bunk bed (adult length!) and another well furnished double bedroom in true Singapore style.
