4Rm At Ghim Moh Link

[raylife 0]

Just like all the aspiring new home owners here, we are excited with our new flat at Ghim Moh Link.

We applied through March Balance Flat Sales, so considered to be quite late in getting the flat. Some neighbours have already stayed there for more than 10 months :-p

Talked with several IDs and finally confirm Russell from Inspire by D'Trenzo.

Wish a happy and smooth renovation journey!

What makes you choose D'Trenzo? I do not have the chance to talk to them yet, but they are in my shortlist.

As mentioned by some other posts, there are some difficulties in this 4rm layout design, like how to TV in the living room and wardrobe in the MBR... Also some existing facility is quite Ja La, such as the door to service yard OPEN inwards and block the fridge, sigh!

Now that you mentioned, didn't realise the door swing inwards. Usually is saying outwards into the service yard. Maybe is because if it swings into the service yard, it hit your hanging clothes?

BTW, I heard the glass door provided by HDB is not cheap.

Not in GMV facebook yet. :-) will check later

Finding an ID is to save time but cost more

If have time, I also will consider DIY....

Do you really need all 3 bedrooms? If you can spare 1, I suggest you may knock down the walls of the first bedroom to make living room bigger.

Cuz the layout is slightly different from other places where people can mount their TV on the wall near the living room window whereas this you can only mount on bomb shelter's wall.

My friend is living there and he has to put dining area adjacent to the living room window. Whatever food prepared in the kitchen has to cross the TV/sofa area and it's a real hassle.

Unless I absolutely need all 3 bedrooms, I would sacrifice 1 bedroom to make the living room bigger. It will look a lot spacious. But that's just me.

Some ID also showed me some idea like that. As you mentioned, it is a good idea to extend the living room by hacking the wall.

But finally I gave up, because it is not a square room afte combining both and still feel like two seperate rooms. In addition, i need one more room for maid.

For some guy, maybe can hack the wall and install a glass wall aligned with living room windows, then the bedroom becomes a very nice study room :-)
