It’s been a long-kept secret that we’ve already bought a flat – most people know by now, but we actually bought the place in January, heh. We didn’t want to talk about the flat until he’d officially proposed, and that milestone is long past, but I never really got around to posting about it here. It’s a 4-room flat, awfully near where his parents stay now, and just about 7 minutes away from my own house, and we’re served by the brand new Circle Line. It’s a top floor flat, secluded because we’re in the corner and we only have one neighbor on our floor.
All in all, a pretty good deal :)
So here’s some pics of our flat, the day before we officially get the keys!

This is what it looked like today during our last inspection, with everything moved out.
The rest of the photos were taken back in January, when previous owner was still in occupancy.

Living room (right side) yes…previous owner had a wine fridge. Gaaah.

The study. Yes, previous owner had a rack of expensive branded handbags. Gaaaaaaaah.

(this is the study now, empty)

The previous owner hacked down the wall between the master bedroom and the adjoining room, making one huge bedroom. Awesome. AND. You can actually see the Singapore Flyer from the window! Perfectly framed between two buildings, too. Fireworks on NDP!! THRILL!

The vanity area, bounded by the master bathroom and a custom wardrobe. Nice. Really, it was this square sink that sealed the deal for me. That and the SG Flyer. :P

Keys tomorrow! And then contractor be coming in, and we’ll be pricing the Ikea kitchen, and then we’ll be replastering and repainting the walls, and then we’ll be furniture-shopping yay!
Fun!

Yay you! And move-in condition too! :D
Is it a 4NG? I noticed you don’t have windows that open to the corridor.
Yes! Move-in wooo condition yay!
Yup it’s 4NG corner unit :) So no corridor windows, shudder, I don’t really like those. My fiance’s living in one now and I find we’re always closing the windows for privacy and ends up super hot. Also when I walk along my own corridor I find I’m always drawn to peek inside other people’s houses, haha… so I wouldn’t want people peeking in on me!
