LEASED! Charm of a restored Shophouse

Description

An authentic restoration reinterpreted for today’s living.

This 2-floor conservation house is a unique find, offering 2100 sqft of space in the culturally rich neighborhood of Joo Chiat. Careful restoration work has preserved the home’s original charm while subtly enhancing its character. The wooden staircase, a striking centerpiece, has been carefully reinforced and restored, while the charming spiral staircase and intimate courtyard – complete with its nostalgic blue collapsible metal grille door – create a sense of timeless appeal. The courtyard’s aged patina was intentionally recreated to echo the home’s storied past, imbuing the space with a welcoming touch of heritage.

The expansive living room flows effortlessly into the dining area, adjacent to the kitchen. A striking sliding steel-framed glass door not only delineates these spaces but also enhances the open-plan layout, drawing natural light deep into the heart of the home. You’ll find the guest bathroom and a cozy loft bedroom at the back ideal for a helper or additional storage.

The upper floor houses two spacious bedrooms, each with its ensuite bathroom. One bathroom boasts a luxurious stand-alone bathtub, perfect for a soothing retreat. Also upstairs are a lounge area, a study nook, and a delightful terrace. The wood-decked terrace with its steel mesh railing is a true highlight—perfect for cultivating a living green wall, herb garden, or enjoying the sunshine. Imagine stargazing on quiet nights, a peaceful escape in your home.

This property’s blend of restored heritage features and modern design is incredibly rare, offering an unparalleled living experience in the heart of Joo Chiat.
