Our new home

This is the view of downtown from our new condo.  We'll be moving from a 5,000 square foot home to a 1200 square foot condo.  We can't wait!  The field beneath the balcony is government owned, and it could be put up for sale at any minute; we're hopeful that the view will remain for at least two years!!
 Another balcony view, spanning to the left near the MRT (metro/subway) train line.  Our complex is in between two stops-each about a 10 minute walk.
The hallway to the bedrooms and "study".

Ethan is sitting on the window ledge of his bedroom; he and Laney might switch rooms after a year.
This is the "study"-it fits this desk and has a sliding glass door that encloses it.  The bars on all of the windows can slide open.
Washer/Dryer outside the kitchen.

This is the "bomb shelter"/helper's quarters.  There's a small bathroom across the alcove as well.  We are still debating about a full time or part time helper.  
 The fridge in our kitchen.  The last tenants put a film across the fridge which makes it look a bit bizarre.  But-it works, and we don't have to worry about fingerprints.

Kitchen cabinets next to the stove; we have an oven too-not always standard in Singapore homes.

  1. This is so fun to see your condo! We're so happy that you guys are somewhere so unique and beautiful! I hope everyone there loves you as much as CO does!

  2. I'm glad you were able to find a larger place, Josh. Not only does it look good, but it also protects your family's privacy. Being accessible to the MRT is an icing on the cake since you wouldn't go through all that trouble to move around.

  3. I love your house, Josh, especially the large window! It's hard to look for a new place in a foreign land, and you're lucky to get a lovely place like this. Good thing you're enjoying your stay in Singapore. It's been a year now, and I wonder if you've done some renovations to the place. How are you?
