A duplex apartment on the third floor of a standalone building in Siglap
An area on the lower level connected with the main living room has been converted into a bedroom.
The owner loves her books.
The living room is at the background of this photo.
Alternative view of the living. This is what you see as you walk into the apartment.
Staircase that connects the two levels. A Paranakan cabinet houses the owner’s collection of antiques.
A chill-out corner on the landing of the upper level, right in front of the staircase. More books and more antiques here.
There are two bedrooms on the upper level. This room is used as the Master Bedroom. The ensuite bathroom has been expanded and combined with an adjoining bathroom.
The other bedroom on the upper level is used as a secondary living room. It originally has a bathroom but was closed off.
Enclosed kitchen on the lower level. A store room/helper’s room is next to this kitchen.
A duplex walk-up on the third level. This unit is part of a standalone building, with its private parking space. It is next to a supermarket, and there is another supermarket diagonally opposite (at Siglap Centre). The new MRT station on the Thomson East Coast line would be a short 7 to 10 mins walk away. The apartment is on the back of the building, away from the main road.
There are currently three bedrooms and a helper’s/utility room, with the potential to create another bedroom. The parquet on the upper level is original, while the flooring on the lower level (except the kitchen) has been re-laid with teak parquet.
The apartment exudes a relaxed, Balinese vibe, with the wood flooring and furniture collected over the years.
