Ya... 3 floors is an issue for me... cause I have a small family.. .. worry it might get too "divided" up and lack interaction...

maintenance gila la bro... nearly 700 a month that kinda money can be put to better use elsewhere...

True also. But if for me, I buy the huge house mainly to turn into office, gaming room and etc.

When my family expand only I will work on the extra space left

And yes, 700 a month is a little high.

i Noticed there is a bedroom 5 at ground floor....

Thats for the maid I assume? Pretty big... much better then compared to Cheria's stupid design.

The +1 bedroom is located outside the 3rd floor lagi.

So if you sked your maid will sabotage you, you can leave her outside

Bedroom 5 is likely for your aging parents, when they come to visit.

For the show room, I love the fact that they made 2 of the room connected. Parents can easily use the room to check on their slightly older baby.

Ooohh.. found the maid room.. tagged under "Utility"? Eh.. that looks TINY? Just like Cheria's 6x6 cubicle... ridiculous... my current maid room is almost 2x bigger....

2 rooms connected u mean Bedroom 1 & 2? I suppose it can be cute to put a tiny door between it... and when the kid grow up.. .kick them to the 3rd floor.. and turn the entire 2nd floor into the parent's bwahhahaa

I've seen the room myself.

Rather small tbh. But can fit someone inside la. Next to the toilet lagi

Can fit a single bed inside.

Yeap, bedroom 1 and 2 is connected in the showroom. And of course, after they grow up, definitely gonna kick them u stairs dy

So small cannot la bro... want to put bed also must do frameless bed...

next to toilet is purposely de la... just like cheria the maid got her own toilet/shower...

No space to put the maid d.

But I dun plan to have a maid la. Gonna utilize those weekend ones.

Too risky to leave inside house nowadays.

Later they do shit I headache.

Your wife working?

Weekend ones troublesome is cause u need to be home to monitor them. Hence your weekend is blocked up. Overall maid is troublesome de la... better if leave her at the ground floor... so u can keep your 2nd/3rd floor completely private... walk around in your underwear also can

Yeah, both full time working. Nobody at home until 8 PM one.

That's why don't feel comfy to leave people at home.

Weekends morning have to sacrifice a bit lor.

Leave at ground floor also dangerous. They can let in the robbers urgh....

Your Ridgefield security so good.... summore got smart home monitoring system etc... no worries de la...

Got alarm only.

Your Cheria more advance.

Got those panasonic CCTV thingy and all.

Dah la got solar panel built in.

What solar panel built in?

Those Panasonic home system... 5k all settle la bro.... its just a simple plug and play stuff, not cutting edge tech...

I thought they got some solar panel built at the house there?

That's not the selling point of Cheria meh?

um... not sure.. havent heard of it hahaha

I just know they have the RC walls (aka no column the wall is the load bearing structure) and the indoor air quality management la... where air intake can be filtered.. very useful for when haze hit the country...

Oh and the ceiling heat insulation system "sounds" decent...

But if you hack that wall, you would affect the entire structure right? Just curious.

Indoor air quality management is good indeed. When Haze strike and it shall strike, it's beneficial to the owners.

I think got Solar heater for the toilet

The masonry block walls can bring down I think. The RC walls can't touch.

Correct.

The few masonry walls can be brought down.

As for the RC walls, u can drill holes. You can cut grooves (to a certain depth), and IF u really need to hack it, you can consult and get a structural engineer to sign off on it (i assume an IR?)

Yeah, if really want to hack the RC wall, better to consult a structural engineer first. They'd probably advise you against it la lol. IR also will be cautious to sign off on anything relating to removing of load-bearing structures.

I was there over the weekend. Parkfield semi d cluster are left with very few units according to the SA. Looks like Tropicana Heights sales are doing well.
