General Overview

We are nestled in a lovely little community, not far from Singapore’s fabulous Botanic Gardens and historic Dempsey Hill, and a short walk from lots of great coffee shops, cafes/restaurants and grocery stores. We are centrally located and Orchard Road and Sentosa are a 10-15 minute drive away or easily accessible by bus or MRT (train). Despite not being too far from Singapore’s buzz, you are surrounded by nature – lush green trees and the delights of birds frolicking in the branches.

The Space

Our three bedroom, ~1,600sqft terrace house offers: • Accommodation for six people in three large bedrooms – 1x king, 1x queen and 2x singles (that can be made into a king). All bedrooms are located on the second storey, accessible by a short flight of stairs. Two bedrooms have access to a small balcony • One bathroom with shower only. No bath • The stairs are not (young) child proof so care will need to be taken if young children are visiting • Open plan dining/lounge • Gas BBQ • Fully equipped kitchen with a fan forced oven, microwave, dishwasher and Nespresso machine • Air conditioning and ceiling fans. We rarely use the air conditioning as the house is reasonably cool • Washing machine and dryer • High speed wireless internet, Bose wireless bluetooth speaker and cable TV • Lovely front garden perfect to enjoy an early morning coffee or a glass of wine in the late evening. The backyard is perfect for some basketball or swing ball Our house is furnished with some amazing things we have collected from around the world – places we have lived or from one of our many travels - everything has a story and is of great sentimental value. My son has always taken exceptional care of his toys This is a home for those who do appreciate and respect the finer things in life and we expect guests and their children to demonstrate the same level of appreciation and care as we do.

Guest Access

Two floors accessible by stairs. Bedrooms located on second storey. Note there are a few small steps on the first floor.
