Another 3-Room Resale Reno

Recommended Posts

Finally hacking will start in 3 days time, though the flat on 1st glance seem to be in reasonable condition, you can even say move in condition if you are not too fussy, everything will go. Initially I had wanted to keep the kitchen as it seem a waste to hack it down but on closer inspection, cannot make it lah , so what the heck might as well everything new.

So here are some pictures before the hacking begins.

I think is the gas piping running through the middle of the flat, really ugly. I wont be using gas for anything so this will be boxed up

This is a really interesting 3-room resale layout... What is the floor area? I can see lots of way to play with the space planning!

Songz :

Currently the passage to the bedrooms is wall-up and that space is used as a wardrobe. But I will break down the wall to allow passage again.

Makanology :

The floor area is 72sqm. The toilet/shower will combined as one space. My theme..quite unusual from most here, maybe not everyone like...it will be quite 'chinese style' I have lots of chinese furniture and also bought some old chinese window frame and door frame which will be incorporated into the design. I realised most people like modern look. Anyway see how it goes.

Sherting :

Yes you are spot on, mei ling st it is. Yeah my dog will be able to run in circle around the house. You sold your house long ago?

Bingo! The 2 glass panels beside the door are so "Mei Ling St design". LOL. Do you retain the original door gate? Old school charm. I miss my old house! The exterior of the flat looks like condominium too! So nice! Good choice you have made! Looking forward to more of your completed house reno pictures! Have a smooth reno journey!

:good: haha I am sure you missed Mei Ling st, I bought not just becoz I like the flat but also the estate, which has a market/hawker centre and also numerous type of shops at ground level of each block, very convenient, very old charming place and slight hilly terrain. Yeah the exterior is quite neat with small lobby with lift serving 4 units.

The designs are quite unique and HDB actually built them in 1970, well the lease start in 1970, so Mei Ling st is one of the oldest estate. But the govt did a great job as almost all blks are upgraded so everything is nice and clean.

Yes the main door and the metal gate is very retro but will not fit my reno style. I will replace the door and change the glass panelling to frosted type not the original where they have the wires running through the glass. The panelling is good idea to retain as it allows light to filter through so it will brighten the foyer area. There will be no metal gate install. I think Singapore is quite safe, I really dun like grill of any sorts.

Well, currently the contractor is running the electrical rewiring, aircon piping, water piping etc, so there is nothing to update for a while.
