MaCe 3 Report post Posted July 21, 2007 Yup! 3rd owner! Wahh..you can see that from the pictures! I can't decide about the jacuzzi too.. !! Think it must be the flash lights making the tiles look brighter..it was renovated 5-6 years back..so actually it looks quite new..they spent 90-100k on renovation and furnishings!!Marble flooring, solid wood staircase railings...all fittings and furnishings look really expensive..but not too my taste and liking..it's kinda classical..But they'll be moving most of the things, including the lightings..so I have to buy a lot of things too...Thank you!! Feeling really excited about doing up the house!! Think all 1st time owners feel the same way right? now that i see the pics....your $$$$ very worth wor....so beautiful liao nothing much to do leh.

Homeowner 1 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Dunno leh...5-6 years only, if you can tahan their neo classical style, you can save on renovations 'else to tear down all these in good condition, product of $100 reno, seem a bit wasteful. But, your taste - zen is miles away from neo classical leh... There was another forumer whose original condition was really very nice, country style...they redid the whole place modern style. Fortunately, they had great taste and the renovated flat turned out very well, or else people would be scratching their heads at the change.
