On hindsight, if you guys maintain the home as it is like now, the value might be considerably worth the selling price should you guys want to sell it.

Ah, a pretty interesting consideration. Infact, flats in Jurong East has kind of rocketted after we purchased our unit and, surprisingly, when property in general is going down. Perhaps, it has to do with the Master Plan for Jurong.

Stock market is volatile where there is no stability.. but property market is always a 'stable' one in terms of demand vs supply irregardless of the price.

If you've looked around resale flats, even property agents will tell you that renovation plays a part in the COV other than the valuation. So maintenence is essential esp for market value whichever way you'd look at it.

Thanks for the compliment, zonkkie

Yup, we are on mid floor.

We also thought the halogen lights would emit alot of heat. Perhaps, as we installed dimmers and don't lit at full strength, we don't really find it hot.

Hi Hi

Totally agree with the rest ...

Very Nice place you have there... Envy Envy...

Thanks Whitezzz. Guess, it is a matter of meticulous planning and we were glad that we had such a detailed architect designer. It was months of headache between us and our designer.

I am sure such an accomplishment is achievable to all.

Agree totally! Very Nice House.........

Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Thanks tankee.

I learned a lot from this forum too. Was glad that I found renotalk - it provided a good avenue for renovation.

At last we have moved in and not fully settled down yet. We are still getting some workers coming in every now and then to finish off some minor works. We find it a chore as we need to be around and not able to organise the house. Gosh, and we are physically tired and mentally drained.

Here are some pictures:

Thanks m3wrx. We are lucky to find this unit. The kitchen is rather big - long but not that wide. The one thing good that comes with it is the side window in the kitchen.

It gives, not only airy, but more light into the kitchen. And our black and white kitchen concept is suitable as it does not make the place dark.

Thanks rolexboy.

Yup, the amount of effort is taxing. It took us 3 months to plan and another 3 months to renovate. Kinda long and can be mentally, physically and emotionally tired. But it does pay off at the end of the day.

As we are taking this home as part of our retirement plan, we just wanted to have something that can last and, guess, we didn't mind to spend. Something that we will not get bored with easily and something that provides comfort to our souls.

Hi Reiki,

do u do heavy cooking?? wat tiles did u use 4 ur kitchen?? isit 'slippery' wen the pl is 'oily'??

01. We don't normally do heavy cooking. Only once in awhile.

02. It is homogenous smooth tile.

03. The island hood does a good job. Guess, it is important to have a good one. So far, we have not find it slippery. Surprisingly, the parquet is more slippery to our dog than the homogenous tiles.

This is a house tat every renotalker can :dribble: on...
