This cosy and soothing apartment in Marine Parade houses a family of four and their helper. The space has been cleverly reconfigured, allowing the owners to create a dedicated play area for their children while retaining a functional living and dining space. With influences of country-chic, feature walls in the master and kid’s bedrooms are painted different shades of pastel.

The new Thomson East Coast Line is in the pipeline, with the Marine Parade MRT station a short one minute’s walk away. Food centres, Parkway Parade and Katong is a stone’s throw away. East Coast Park is also easily accessible via an underpass nearby.
