One of my life goals is to own my first home by the age of 30. I can now check this one off as I’ve recently bought my dream home in the form of Casa Idaman, a condo currently undergoing construction, located along Jalan Ipoh, KL.
I secured a unit on one of the higher floors with a city view which is exactly what I wanted. Completion is scheduled for September 2010 and the wait is just killing me! My unit has a built up of 1062sqft with the biggest balcony of the lot. It’s got 3 rooms, 2 baths with a layout as what you can see below.
The photos below are from the actual show unit (which is based Casa Idaman’s smallest unit - 1007sqft) that I checked out twice before finally deciding on booking a unit. The left picture is the living room with the dining hall in the background. This is where my future 52″ LCD TV (I hope) will sit along with the awesome home theater set (dreaming). I’ve got a custom TV cabinet set from Ikea that I have in mind for the living room setup. The whole living area’s gonna be carpeted of course!
The picture on the right would be bedroom 3 which I will designate as the study room that will house all the IT equipment in the house. The show unit however had the wall of bedroom 3 removed, having the whole room exposed without a door. I guess this is a trick the developer used to hide the fact that the room is quite small. It seems like a good idea though, I’m actually considering to have the same thing done to my own unit.
Left picture below shows the kitchen. Definitely Ikea kitchen cabs for me, still unsure about the colour that I want mine in, but for now white or birch seem like a good idea. Don’t think I’ll be installing a built-in oven as I can’t bake for nuts, no intentions to learn either. I think electric stoves are the way to go these days. Saves the trouble of lugging around a back-breaking cooking gas tank up 17 floors!
Middle photo below is the dining hall. I like the glass dining table used in the show unit. I’d probably get something similar myself. Notice how the walls all around are covered in mirrors to make the unit appear more spacious.
Photo on the right below depicts the master bedroom. It’s pretty large and I really like it. The bed used in the show unit was queen sized but I intend to fit in a king sized bed instead. A built-in closet will be installed, much like the one from the show unit, sans the weird shelves that have the lamps in them. Opposite the bed will be a smaller wall-mounted LCD TV with Astro connected for some cozy late night TV watching.
First photo from the left below depicts the second bedroom which is slightly smaller than the master bedroom. This bedroom will be slightly longer in my unit. Pretty much will be sticking to what the show unit has, 2 single beds with a built-in closet. My bro will be taking this room if he decides to stay with me. The extra bed will be for a guest.
The next photo is the master bedroom bathroom. I like what was done with the show unit, but I’d probably install fully closed-up glass shower screen and lower the flooring around the shower area to prevent water from seeping into the dry area of the bathroom. I like the huge-ass mirror that almost completely covers the wall so that’s going in my unit for sure!
The photo on the right depicts the shared bathroom. Pretty small but it looks decent. I like the floor tiles used in both bathrooms, especially their texture and colour which looks really classy.
With completion due more than a year to come, it will serve as a good time period for me to save up for all renovation + furnishing work. Hopefully if everything goes well and as planned, I’ll be having my first 2011 new year’s party at my humble new abode, watching fireworks from the balcony!
