Content Creator Natasha Tan’s Landed Home Cost S$600K To S$700K To Reno; Has Hidden Doors And Even A Bathroom With Its Own Aircon

Singaporean content creator Natasha Tan, aka Nana, is known for her lifestyle and fitness content on TikTok. But she may be even better known for her viral shio pan baking videos and causing hour-long queues at a non-descript salad shop.

Those who follow Natasha’s content may also have noticed glimpses of her home in the background of her videos, which boasts plenty of space, an open layout and what looks like a minimalist’s dream interior. 

In the latest episode of Kaypoh Room Tours, Natasha gives host Amy Ang a closer look at the corner terrace landed property in the east, where she lives with her siblings and mum, Doreen, who is also familiar to her followers.

According to Natasha, her home follows an “out of sight, out of mind” concept, with a modern minimalist style. The property sits on a spacious 3,900 sq ft plot, though she admits she isn’t sure of the total built-up area.

When it comes to the renovation bill, Natasha is refreshingly candid as well: “I don’t have the real numbers ’cos I didn’t pay for it. But I’m thinking it’s about S$600,000 to $700,000.”

She explained that the entire area was dug out and hacked down, with the existing rooms removed to create a bigger, more open living space. 

The open layout also gives her plenty of room for a large kitchen, where her famous shio pans are made. Her long kitchen island is one of her favourite features of the house, as it’s where she hosts friends and even holds shio pan classes. 

She’s also a big fan of her robot vacuum, which she has nicknamed “Elon” and runs three times a day. In Natasha’s words, it works so well that her helper doesn’t need to clean the first-storey floors at all.

To keep the space looking clean and seamless, the rooms on the first floor are tucked behind handleless doors. These include her helper’s room, a bathroom with automatic lights so there’s no need for extra switches, and a guest toilet, which is the only door with a handle.

One of the “hidden rooms” on the ground floor is also Natasha’s bedroom, which features a custom carpentry area designed to house her cats’ litter box.

“I wanted my room to have hotel vibes, which is why I didn’t want a desk,” she revealed. Instead, she has a lounge chair beside her bed, like the ones often seen in hotel rooms. 

Natasha also has a walk-in wardrobe that leads into her bathroom, which is tucked behind another hidden door. The space is sleek and mostly decked out in black tiles, giving it what she calls “dungeon vibes”, with a white marble countertop adding contrast.

One thing Natasha wouldn’t compromise on? Space. Her bedroom opens directly onto the backyard, which is currently still a blank canvas waiting for her to decorate or make use of.

Natasha's mum also has her own yoga deck on the second floor, which looks big enough to fit an entire yoga class.

There are also solar panels on the deck’s awning, helping to cut down on electricity use during the day. And with no fans in the house, the family relies pretty heavily on air-conditioning.

That led Natasha to one of the more unusual features of the house — her mum’s bathroom, which she calls “Doreen Tan’s sanctuary". There, an aircon unit is installed right above the entrance.

“Yeah, aircon in the toilet, who would’ve thought,” Natasha joked.

But there’s actually a pretty practical reason for it. Her mum has a custom-made onsen tub in the bathroom, and the aircon helps keep the room cool while she enjoys a hot soak.

“Usually when you take a bath, you will be hot, right? But you don’t want to be hot. You turn on the aircon, and then you soak in the hot tub, and it’s like, wah, shiok,” she explained.

With an onsen tub and aircon to keep things cool, we totally see why they call it a “sanctuary”.

Later, when Amy asked if she would ever want to buy her own house, Natasha didn’t hesitate: “No, why? I want to live with Doreen.”

She explained that her mum already has ideas for the future, too. If the family grows, her mum might consider tearing down the house and rebuilding it upwards, with each family member potentially having their own floor.

“She said can even rebuild until everyone gets their own floor, so it’s apartment vibes. That’s her vision,” Natasha shared.

And looking at the house, it’s not hard to see why Natasha is happy to stick around.
