In this week’s episode, we tour a charming corner terrace home off the Bidadari area.
Dating back to the 1950s, this two-story abode was completely gutted and rebuilt from scratch, with its present form featuring rustic French countryside and Colonial themes.
Set upon a 1,450-square-foot plot, the home boasts a total built-up area of 1,850 square feet. The homeowners - a young couple who moved in around November 2022, timed the move perfectly with the arrival of their baby son, and have lived here ever since.
Stepping in through the front gates, you’re immediately taken back in time. Adorned with heritage elements like a gate and mailbox from the 1960s, the area has been refitted with breezeblock walls to maintain an element of functionality, whilst staying true to the heritage themes.
This well-thought-out area is transformed into a livable rest space, complete with wooden decking and glass bifold doors merging indoor and outdoor realms. An elaborately commissioned palm tree serves as a charming frontal piece, stretching across two floors of the home.
The theme of greenery doesn’t stop however, with a lovely garden wrapping around the side of the house, featuring a rest area embellished with an assortment of exotic plants.
As we step in through the exotic front door (a custom creation from Indonesia), it feels almost like a precursor to what we’re about to see.
The front living area features neutral tones, with its open design fostering easy conversations.
The dining space, enhanced by an Indian doorway-turned mirror, further adds character and depth to this otherwise raw, yet homely space.
The large open kitchen, (again facilitating seamless interaction) boasts a U-shaped layout with a prominent peninsula and matching pendant lights.
Meanwhile, a step into the backyard reveals an open barbeque space, combined with a mini outdoor bar setup - undoubtedly inspired by the French countryside.
Further down, we find an outdoor veranda with a beautiful view over the garden - serving as a romantic outdoor extension of the house.
Moving to the upper floor, we notice a warm transition to the restful areas, set away from the hosting areas below.
A step-up into a nicely arched corridor serves as a transitory space to 2 of the 3 bedrooms here.
The study (currently also functioning as a storage room) was left unexplored. However, it was the child's playroom that drew our attention.
A delightful canvas of a safari-themed wonderland, fitted with modular furniture done in a Montessori style to cater to the little one’s needs as he grows.
Closer to the steps, we find the master bedroom - decked with colonial-style elements, seamlessly weaved into the fabric of the master bath.
A row of glass blocks overhead brings in nicely diffused light into the rest areas, with a king-sized bed nestled against a brick wall, with ample built-in wardrobes to the side offering plenty of storage space.
A final step out onto the balcony reveals a lovely space, fitted with deck chairs, bestowing the couple with a space to unwind in the evenings.
As always, special thanks to the homeowners (@solomunthecat) for allowing us to tour their beautiful home.

This is my kind of eclectic vintage colonial style. Timeless and classic. Kudos to the homeowners' good taste. I'm sure their house stands out along the entire street.

[@StackedHomes]

Well said!

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

Beautiful home. Hats off to the presenter, fluent & knowledgeable about her product.

[@StackedHomes]

Absolutely!

[@serpentsforhair]

You can feel that every piece of furniture is deliberately picked and their individual characters work in cohesion even when placed together, nothing feels out of place. A cozy, inviting, live-in vibe - much prefer this than the overused Japandi/japanordic whatever the latest name is.

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for sharing ! 😊

[@sherryoak1993]

I viewed this property when it was put up on sale. A minus was that it had no parking space. Great to see that it’s so nicely done up from the bare bones it was.

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you 😊

[@LordBagdanoff]

Listed for how much

[@hgft274]

Hard sell for true landed buyers

[@ticoss]

What a beautiful house. It really has character, furnished with taste

[@StackedHomes]

It does! Thanks for watching!

[@pomho5997]

Wow 🤩 what a charming house ! The use of green colors are extremely classy

[@StackedHomes]

We agree!

[@creamflower]

Its so hard to believe that they renovated this place in the last year or so. It feels so lived in with an eclectic mix of styles yet it all seems so very well put together. Was this done by an ID or were the owners just excellent in taste? They seem like the well-travelled type and know exactly what piece to find for the right place in the home. Stellar example of a style you can call timeless and grow into. I hope this home gets a revisit in the future. Well done for capturing this, Stacked Homes.

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you!

[@wadjeturaeus]

this is so sweet.. comparing to all those cold luxury villas, this has warmth and soul

[@StackedHomes]

Totally agree! It's got that cozy vibe.

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

Quaint collections like this home has can be great conversation starters. When guests visit your home and see your collections, it often prompts discussions about the origins, history, and stories behind the items. 😉💯

[@StackedHomes]

Absolutely!

[@mythra7174]

Oh my goodness. I love this. That mirror is beautiful. Love the layout and the decor. Very lovely home.

[@StackedHomes]

A true masterpiece! 💯

[@Jade-sc7ne]

Very nice, the cat ladder was a bonus, coz I have a cat and it's nice to see that people accommodate their little furry friend too. Seemed like a lovely couple who own this terrace house, may they create lots of beautiful and memorable moments in this beautiful house.

[@raymundomarcial8050]

I really love your work @StackedHomes but it would be nice to have a scale bar on the floor plan to understand the dimensions of each section of the properties, I find some of the works really inspiring. Great job, there is obviously great teamwork behind the production of the videos

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for the feedback and appreciation! Team effort indeed! 😊

[@ericadancewithme]

Lovely terrace in an old HDB estate. Love the foliage from all the tropical plants (I wouldn't call them 'exotic' cos they are common here).

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you 😊

[@miguelangelhgvlogs]

Lovely home ❤

[@StackedHomes]

Glad you like it!

[@mattcheah69]

Tastefully done n brilliantly presented/filmed Cosy Fav is the toilet hidden in brickwall Unbelievable there are always some naysayers. Not easy to own landed property in Spore.

[@StackedHomes]

Absolutely thrilled by your kind words! Thank you for appreciating the effort! 😊

[@JS-ev4xc]

The front gate, the windows and the kitchen back doors are very 50s retro-look. It would be nice to work the whole house based on that era. But end up, it is kinda rojak.

[@hwoilingtan7172]

好有品位的屋主！我非常喜欢他们的布置，尤其是绿意盎然的院子，整齐划一。那种大型赫蕉我的院子也有，长得非常快，遮挡了旁边的朱蕉，所以我常常挥刀砍掉大把大把的叶子，因为根除不掉。现在看影片的赫蕉，真是同树不同命，我想我往后应该善待它们😅。片中美中不足的是房子在车来车往的路旁，车声和车烟估计挡不住，我以前的房子也在路旁，我也种满了植物来隔离外界，但还是吵，于是两年后搬到山腰，清静！

[@veralawrenta1912]

this is the kind of house I wanna build for my own

[@StackedHomes]

You should! 😊

[@marcelashagash5808]

I like the plants

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you 😊

[@gloriarehabmart7139]

[@7zelements925]

What is the name of that shade green colour?

[@sadiaafroz5354]

Amazing! Which city or country is this?

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you! The home is located in Singapore 😊

[@doreenhu]

Could I know which country is this house located? The fee is for USD or…? The ceiling of front and backyard are made by bamboo curtains, That is so special and nice. Is that waterproof? Thank you.

[@StackedHomes]

Hello! The home is located in Singapore 😊

[@vdttr]

She sounds so similar to the Asian reporter woman in family guy🤭😂

[@StackedHomes]

Haha, that's an interesting observation! Thanks for the comparison. 😄

[@munnkia]

random question, but anyone knows the species of banana plant which was by the garden wall?

[@kabeevijayan1435]

Yes, I think you might be referring to the Strelitzia Nicolai or the other is the Haleconia Marginata.

[@kealani6535]

Shoe cabinet that doubles as a changing table? No thought to infection control.

[@UmiLestari]

❤

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you ❤

[@weiqingliang1365]

very beautifu and calming space, but the filming style is a bit too much talking. Hope for improvement.

[@HoleHunter9001]

Where is this house located?

[@sophieb8666]

Does anyone know what kind of palm tree that is on front porch?

[@kabeevijayan1435]

I believe it’s a Phoenix sylvestris

[@babypanda0201]

Are there no mosquitoes in that area?

[@solecurious1501]

Lovely but how is this French countryside? Looks tropical.

[@StackedHomes]

It's a splendid blend! French countryside with a dash of tropical allure.

[@lesliecruguet4136]

House is absolutely charming with the exception of the master bedroom- lacks any beauty and looks cramped with a king size bed jammed up against a wall with oversized bricks behind it- sorry looks like a converted penitentiary's room. Luckily the outdoor spaces make up for it in peace and tranquility.

[@an_najm7864]

What are those tall plants called? Those that look like banana leaves

[@canyoudoitagain7978]

Beautiful however sorry love I don't see any French countryside style anywhere ❤

[@StackedHomes]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@lisaoloughlin6476]

the brick wall looks awful behind the bed, you need to through a nice plush oriental carpet over it. The wall looks so cold and dull.

[@Momo-cccikn]

Where do you park? Where do I park my car?

[@nesgonenatve]

i want to see the cat

[@StackedHomes]

We wish I could show you the cat!

[@zorromom2135]

Very beautiful home, but it's misleading to say it has 4 bedrooms, yea? 😅

[@USERID-zm5qe]

which country is this?

[@StackedHomes]

Singapore ! 😊

[@SaiHeart]

Where is this , why country , city ??

[@StackedHomes]

The home is in Singapore 😊
