raylife 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) 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 :-pTalked with several IDs and finally confirm Russell from Inspire by D'Trenzo. Wish a happy and smooth renovation journey!

raylife 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually is saying outwards into the service yard. Maybe is because if it swings into the service yard, it hit your hanging clothes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calvin154 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 :-) Edited October 2, 2012 by raylife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
