About this home

A terrace where the owner turned ceiling height into real extra space.

This 2-storey terrace in Sungai Nibong has one advantage most terraces don’t: it faces the side of a semi-D, not another house head-on. That also means parking room across the way for an extra car. The high original ceiling let the owner add a room at a 2.5 level, so the house now lives as a 2.5 storey, and the ground-floor backyard was pushed out to open up the kitchen.

Walking through, the extended kitchen at the back is what stayed with me – proper space to cook and move, not the usual cramped terrace galley. This suits a big or growing family that needs the extra rooms. The extension is done, but the renovation is old, so you’ll want to retouch or redo some of it.

Why this home

• Queensbay Mall 7 min walk for weekend meals and outings
• Lipsin market and Bayan Baru shops about 7 min drive
