Go ahead if have the budget. thinking about it as well

I was 50/50 but my boss doesn't fancy a bay window, so will drop the idea and go for a more practical daybed placing over the window instead.

Which should I chose ? Might go for the crazy idea of the round one!

The round daybed might occupy much space in your living area, better double check the size first.

the first and second daybed seems more practical as can treat them as part of your living sofa set.

Agreed, just a wild thought.

I made an unusual decision.

I decided not to exercise my option for my 5 room flat and instead optioned another 4 room flat in the same vicinity.

Although the 5 room is a good bargain at $381K Vs the 4 room at $363K.

I decided not to get the 5 room( my third choice) mainly for 2 reasons.

1. My left, right and front neighbour are hanging all their clothing along the corridor, I just can't get myself facing such environment every day.

2. This spacious 12 year old 5 room does not have a laundry yard, It very inconvenient when my wife wants to do her heavy cooking.

My first choice flat was asking $30K ($410K) above the market price and my second choice( withdrew from the market) when I sign up for this 5 room flat.

2 weeks after the options, my second choice (4 room) came back to the market, This time the price was better and the deal was done.

I love this 4 room layout, the view and most important it has a laundry yard!

The space is a bit tight but with only 3 of us, I can make do with it.

Wanted to upload some photos, but I don't know why can't.

Here is my 4 room flat floor plan

And yes, it has a baywindow!

These are the reasons why I decided not to exercise my option.

i also gave up our option for our first flat... cos the valuation was way lower than the asking. 

the layout for this 4 room looks good too!

It's important to have a place that you like and can live with. No point buying because of price but dissatisfied with the surroundings. 

Guess you will have to change the title of your thread

Bought my 1st item for the new house!

My 4 room flat. Love the bay window!

All rooms are facing the park, Kudos to the architect!

 

One of the reason I change from 5 to 4 room is this Laundry Yard!

I will try to grow some veggies for salads!
