Close your eyes and picture this: You’re walking down the sidewalk in Australia and you chance upon a charming little nature-inspired cafe with al fresco dining arrangements.

Now open your eyes. If you could put into images what you’ve just pictured in your mind, we bet they’d look something like this three bedroom apartment located in the western end of Singapore.

“Before coming over to Singapore, the owners were living in Australia.
