Townerville

Townerville is an estate of colonial and ethnic-style terrace houses built in the 1920s and now restored to its original splendour.

The development is made up of 84 two-storey units, consisting of 2- to 4-bedroom houses ranging from 2,127 sq ft to 3,524 sq ft.

Situated at the junction of Towner and May Roads are 34 units (Type A) built with traditional Chinese architectural influences. They feature uniquely shaped facade beams and columns at the entrance, and each spacious unit has two bedrooms, balconies and an open-air courtyard.

Another 26 units (Type B), built under Malay architectural influence, feature pitched rooves, rows of louvered vents and ornamental gable tiles. Each unit features two bedrooms and a study. The study opens out to a roof deck which is connected to the courtyard via a spiral staircase.

The remaining 24 units (Type C), fronting McNair Road, reflect the European architectural style. These units are distinguishable by their arched porticoes, facing bricks and glass-panelled doors and windows. Each unit has a living room, a dining room, three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study.

Refurnished in 2014, selected units include renovated kitchens, bathrooms and wardrobes.
