milnek 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 Hello guys, Finally had exercised our option to purchase a 4-rm resale corner unit at mountbatten area. Still waiting for our first appointment with hdb this month and we are expecting to conclude the sale and take ownership sometime in November this year. What enticed us is the access balcony which the current owner had bought over from hdb. As both of us like to grow plants especially orchids, this is almost a perfect unit for us. We are currently exploring some ideas how to do up our house without spending to much due to budget constraint. Unlikely to do any major overhaul just some minor works especially the MBR and toilets. The current owner had renovated just 4 years ago. Both of us like teak furnitures and have been going around to look look see see. As such, any ideas and opinions would be very much appreciated. Here is the floor plan Some pictures of the house Acces balcony Living room and kitchen MBR and the room facing the access balcony Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
