Home Sweet Home

We’ve found our home sweet home! :D

Housewife and hubby can’t help but wanted to give glory to God for His blessing for a home sweet home.

The house came to us when we expected the least. We even rejected the broker’s arrangement for viewing the house as we were too obsessed with the unit we wanted so much but have already taken. On top of that, housewife thought of having little time-off after spending 3-4hours everyday on doing property research for the past 2 weeks. The more info housewife get, the greater confusion housewife has.

However, we changed our mind yesterday since it’s a public holiday. Housewife and hubby thought of going there just for ‘visitation’ and with no expectation, although housewife has done research on this condo before and knowing that it’s the condo received good comments and rating so far.

When we entered the condo, its serenity and quietness brought us peace. Of course, the 50-m pool also caught our eyes. Immediately, we went to visit the 2358sqt ft penthouse unit. This is a 3+1 bedroom unit with a rarely big roof top garden. The livable size is about 1250sqr ft where the roof top garden is about 900-1000sqt ft, which is equivalent to a small unit condo size.

Before viewing the unit, the roof top is actually something that turned housewife and hubby down. “What are we going to do with this 1000sqt ft roof top??”  We can neither do extension nor build additional room although broker claimed the garden can cater for 50-60pax or more if we throw a party. Anyway, we don’t think we throw big party all the time although we love to host. Therefore, we didn’t think it’s a wise choice for paying addition $$ for this plain roof top.

Anyway, this is the opinion we had BEFORE viewing the unit. :P

Surprisingly, the big roof top with nice view captured our heart dearly where we later have this master plan to turn it into vege corner, dining area (for hosting), reading corner, laundry area and with some landscaping. Anyway, this is just some crazy thoughts  we had after having sleepless night as the 2 crazy fellow were too excited for having a first home in life. hheheh.... We  haven’t known if this is doable but nevermind, just a little sweet crazy thought we both share...

Wake up! Wake Up! Ops...

Alright, in a nutshell, we fell in love with this unit with a peaceful heart. Without any further hesitation, we made an offer.

Obviously we’re blessed to have this unit because it seems better than the previous unit we wanted in many ways…

•              It’s 17% cheaper where the size is about the same. On top of that, we save another $5k where broker fought a better deal for us.
•            It provides FREE shuttle bus to MRT station and a big supermarket.
•            It access to amenities where there’s a wet market, hypermarket, food stores and etc within 5 minutes walking distance.
•           There’s a park, something like botanical garden, within the vicinity. It’s just opposite the condo.
•           According to house owner and broker, the nearest school is one of the top 15 famous schools in Lion City so there’s a chance for children to get in to a good school in future.
•            It considered as low density condo where about 300units only.  The previous unit we wanted was about 700-800units.

God know our heart well. Believe it or not? These are the criteria we have prayed and He answered us with His grace. During our house hunting journey, we saw how He close the doors although we wanted few units so much and how He open a door for us although we rejected it once.

Finally, we have found our little nest. The excitement is simply unexplainable. Housewife really appreaciate God who never forsaken us and hubby who work so hard for it. Without hubby, housewife couldn't afford to have such a beautiful house.... :)
