Black & White House
Type: For Rent
Have you ever thought about living in Black and White Houses and wondered what does it feel to experience most elegant, colonial-style living?
As you might know, the magnificent Black and White Houses of Singapore date back to the colonial era when well-heeled immigrants built beautiful homes set in gorgeously lush gardens. Most of these houses are spacious, aristocratic, and carefully oriented to get the most out of sunshine, shade, and the cooling breezes. Built by the British from the late 19th century, black and white houses in Singapore enjoyed their heyday during the 1920s and 30s when they were home to top-ranking government officials, high court judges, and plantation owners. But during the Japanese Occupation from 1942-1945, the houses were abandoned by their colonial owners and taken over by Japanese soldiers instead.
Today, there are approximately 500 houses remaining, scattered around Singapore in exclusive, leafy enclaves like Dempsey Road, Rochester Park, Portsdown Road and Adam Park .As you might have guessed, black and white houses are in high demand. Most black and white houses are owned by the state and are regarded as national monuments. That doesn’t mean you can’t rent them, though! If you are interested how you can rent such exceptional property and what are the conditions, I would be happy to guide you through the process and help.
Believe me, renting one of these truly luxury homes will turn your time in Singapore into the best experience ever, there’s nothing to beat the classic Black and White House.
