Both 57@ Kovan and Sanctuary @813 are by the same developer. Very congested land area. Not facing the main road with a small road in. Swimming pool is a top floor. Location is decent. 5 mins to Kovan and a string a amenities! Parking spaces for friends and relatives will be very limited coz Kovan road is always congested. No complaints if you can tahan the small land area! :cheers6: The maintenance fee might be quite high but I can't confirm that!!!

Maybe maintenance fees lowered. Not necessarily a bad idea.

just visited it... boy was it impressive. there's a reverse duplex for the mbr (steps down from living room and common rooms). but question is: how does 1 clean the windows?? :scared-2:

it has the most efficient use of space i've seen. no planters, no bay windows, no big balcony... but one of the blocks is so close to the landed beside i can practically spit into their backyard.. imagine the neibor is a foul tempered person, die liao... will throw stones into your house and break every window. :p

Spacious on the inside. Its just the outside that is a little cramp... and unless you don't need the gym, pool, then this project should fit nicely... :)

Actually me like smaller devts cos it's more 'exclusive' as I do value peace and quiet. Nice to have a place to go home to that's not crowded and cramped with loads of pple. Me shy mah.. Haha.

But d19 is more by choice cos I'm quite conservative with my budget. Typical singkie Loh. Ai pi ai ci ai tua Liap nee. Lol.. Not enough budget to venture to prime areas not intention to move to far flung districts like Pasir ris or bukit batik or sembawang. Also looking at telok kurau area but prices not cheap also. Sigh... Me beggar lah so can't be choosy. :(

Yah if only they managed to acquire the adjacent old landed (looks in desperate need to be rebuilt).. Then they might have been able to do up some simple facilities like a small pool and gym. Plus some breathing space from neiboring landed..

But I do value some facilities after all. Pool for my kids and gym so I can pass my ippt! Lol. So in the end this project is a no go for me.

yah, that's the headache.. hence am only considering resale condos that's at most 3 years old (so no need do major reno).

actually no need road side.. abit away from roads or transport services also can (better actually cos normally dun attract convenience premium). my 2 kids still very young (3yrs and less than 1 yr old) hence no need take public transport also.

I was looking at Kovan area about a month back when I thought I wanna upgrade :P Did you consider Simon Road or Jansen Road area? There are some 999 or FH that are quite ok:

I was actually very interested in the 999 cluster houses (Sovereign@Simon, Top Residences, Marlene Ville) but they are a bit of a stretch for me.

Too near road side not too ideal also....

I got a lady friend who become property agent few years back. When she hand me her property agent name card, with her photo, i almost fell off my chair, really unbelieveable touchup, etc. I must say the photoshop photo look 2-3x better than her in person...:D
