flyingballoons 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) After 9 months of house hunting we finally found our dream home... =) We basically looked along the East West line as we hoped to get a place near to an MRT station, our property agent brought us to East Coast, Upper East Cost, Bedok,Tenah Merah, Simei... We were priced out of some places in the Central West like Buona Vista, Dover... It was really not easy to find a unit that satisfied all my needs... Especially with the booming property market last year. It was by chance and our good luck that this unit came to us because our original property agent wasn't a specialist in this area. Very happy that we found this place- it has everything we want and most importantly it is a 7 mins drive to my inlaw's place. Hehe I find that very helpful because I am too lazy/tired to cook after work... Met our ID today and paid a down payment without comparing quotes from other ID firms because the designer was recommended by a close friend. Would like to share our renovation process with fellow forummers here since I've derived alot of fun and got alot of ideas from everyone here looking at the renovation photos... This is the floor plan of our 3bedder unit! Am collecting keys only in July so we will be furniture (window)shopping between now and then! Very exciting!
