Posted June 26, 201213 yr Staff Location: Semi-detached homes along Greenleaf view off Holland RoadOnce upon a time, all the semi-detached homesare mirror image ofeach other.

Many of such semi-detached homes did Alternations & Additions (A & A works) to create two new bedrooms (see attachment i.e. become bedroom 3 and 4 on the second storey) where the balcony is.
October 5, 20168 yr Author Staff This bungalow is located at Mountbatten Road. In the past around the 1950's bungalows in this area is around 9,500 sq feet. This design can also be found at Greenleaf area Rd / Dr / View. But usually split into half I.e. Semi-detached homes. For the Mountbatten Road example; the balcony's arch curves outwards. But for the sample layout plan of Greenleaf as shown in the earlier thread; the arc curves inwards; not outwards. More of the same theme.
