eeting friendly, open Jenny,
it’s surprising to find out
that she classes herself as
something of a recluse. For
example, although she’s a keen runner,
she prefers it as a solitary activity rather
than something she would join a club to
do. “I’ve had to force myself to be more
sociable; running, though, is time to
myself. I find that if I don’t run for a few
days I get very cranky.”
The family of five moved from Tokyo
to Singapore in July 2013, and Jenny
cites running as one of the driving
reasons they picked this Ardmore Park
condo. “My husband Travis and I are
both runners and we love the Botanic
Gardens, so we wanted to be within a
short distance of it. We also knew we
wanted to live in an area where we could
get to restaurants and coffee shops on
foot, and, although I don’t shop that often,
Orchard Road is conveniently close.”
Originally they had their eyes on a
condo in River Valley, but being a family
of five along with a dog, they needed
something more sizeable. “A lot of these
modern apartments are gorgeous inside,
but the space can be tiny.” Here, in their
four-bedroom home, they have plenty of
room for daughters Ainsley and Addison,
son Gavin and rescue dog Ginger, which
they adopted when they lived in Japan.
