About the room

This unit is my own flat. I am a botanist/conservation biologist who spends a lot of time in the forest. So I renovated this flat myself to look like a field house. I did all the carpentry and masonry myself. Almost everything in the flat is made from wood that people have thrown away.

The flat is an open plan studio with a single bedroom. Photos do not do the place justice, best is to visit. It is 10mins walking distance from Commonwealth MRT station and 15mins from Holland Village MRT station. The flat is on the border of Holland Village. The buses outside will get you to the Orchard in 15mins.

The flat has plants with irrigation systems and a planted up fish tank. The front faces trees, so when you are in the flat it feels like you are in nature.

Whoever takes the unit, needs to help switch on the irrigation system once a day. There are two vanilla plants just outside the house that need to be watered using a watering can. Once you live with these plants, it will become natural.

I have a helper who will come once a month to clean the house, she will help fertilize the plants once a month. She will also help iron a reasonable amount of clothes and clean your room. But do keep it tidy.

I am not an agent, but I do have an agent who will help with the paperwork. The unit is available for 6 months, I am really looking for someone who I can talk to and will look after my flat and plants.

The bills are excluded, and the flat already has a high speed internet connection and landline with free local outgoing calls.

Msg me or WA me, I am currently overseas so WA is the best.

About the roomies

I am a scientist/botanist/conservation biologist working on forest conservation and restoration for 15 years. I am currently overseas and looking for someone to rent out my flat and water my plants.

I just love plants with a soft spot for trees, and worked at the Singapore Botanic Gardens as an arborist for 10 years. I am Singaporean, but have lived across different parts of the world. I am easy going and looking for someone nice to stay in my place.

Looking for a nice tenant.
