Blk A is closer to Orchard Road than Blk B. Some units have
panoramic unblocked city views, some face buildings or
trees. Surprising Blk A's apartments at ...-01 level,
have little traffic noise.
Powder room for the 3-bedroom is to the extreme left of the
main door, after you enter the private lift lobby. A
long entry foyer leads you to the living area, with the
kitchen on the left.
For the 4-bedroom, the powder room is next to the kitchen
and usually has chocolate brown W.C. The maid's room is
spacious.
Interiors:
Original condition of apartment is dull yellow brown marble flooring in
the living and dining areas.
Parquet or carpet flooring in the bedrooms depending on whether the Owner
has renovated the unit.
Central air conditioning with individual controls at room level. Or
central air conditioning in the living and dining area with individual
thermostat control. The kitchen is not air conditioned. It has a big window bringing in
daylight. The pantry is between the kitchen and the door for the
4-bedroom.
The original condition of the apartment, unless renovated, has the
dark chocolate brown wall ceramic tiles in the kitchen, the bathrooms and
the spacious balcony. This make the apartment look dark
and puts off many Caucasian expats. Plenty of closet spaces in louvered doors.
Cable vision points present.
Lift to private lift lobby by access card.
There is a complete control via programming such that nobody can get into
your apartment via the lift. Or you can release temporary control so
that visitors can go directly to your lift.
Some Owners have installed a timer and temperature control of the air
conditioners of the living and dining area. One has even
installed a power controlled system for opening the night curtains.

Demand is too great as the American School bus stops at the American Club
which is just across the road, after official school hours.
Those are the times when the kids have extra curricular activities.
The American mum will like the kids just to walk home instead of having to
take another bus to go back to the condos which may be further away.
Two Tips for Landlords:
1. Do not install heavy wooden doors as sliding doors for your
closets or as partition between rooms because they don't last long if you
just hang the doors from the rails off the ceiling.
Most landlords don't like to have tracks on the floor to support the
weight of the doors.
Heavy wood looks good but the tenant will want them changed due to
malfunction.
2. On July 29, 2000, I saw a beautiful The Claymore
3-bedroom with pinkish streak white Italian marble. Door knobs were white porcelain with blue flowers. Everything seem
perfect. The American Tenant wanted it empty. We discover that the
mirrors and headboards of the queen-sized beds
in the master and 2 single beds in one bedroom were
solidly glued to the wall! Luckily the expats were persuaded to
retain these items, otherwise it will cost money to hack them off.
