House hunting

We went to look for houses today. OK, so this idea was late by decades. Because by now, the houses were either not so vacant or, not so cheap anymore. Those who have bought years before us are really laughing now. Or crying, depending on the circumstances.

Anyway, we were informed that there is a potential house in Puchong, a place where in my personal opinion, is chaotic, thanks to its never ending traffic jams and stupid flyover u-turns. However, with the convenience of shopping malls such as Careffour, Giant and the IOI, it more or less offset my uneasiness. And so, our afternoon adventure began...

This house was already being rented out
but the tenant did not mind letting us in
to have a look. Immediately, I like this one
although I have no idea what I like when
it comes to houses. However, one thing
that raised the flag was, he's a smoker...

The reason I liked this house was because of this
room at the back which can be for my soon future
personal work room. Already the windows are
bright enough. But somehow, their design and
with the parquet floors, its not very attractive.

OK, so its a very 'thin' house. Don't ask me about
the square feet or stuff like that as I am a complete
idiot when it comes to this. Although it has a garden
and all, however, it was not approved by the
Home Ministry. Oh, well...

On the way back, we dropped by another part
of Puchong, which is a new area and has all the
trappings of a very expensive house. And just
this view is actually the front door, leading to
a area big enough for two and a half cars.

We entered one that was not locked as the workers are
still... er, working. What struck me was the beautiful
long staircase reminiscent of those old World War II
shophouses. And I love these type of staircase.

As usual, under the staircase would be a storage
area, where you WILL use it to store stuff since
there are no store rooms. Unless you plan not to
have a maid, of course.

Ah, this is the lovely view of the
staircase as you go up. It feels
solid. The pic does not do justice.
You just have to be there.

Ever wondered why the house was
so cool when we entered? Yes, it
was because of this high ceiling.

The view of the Master Bedroom.

The kitchen

The backlane

After seeing this house, our minds were on it for a few days. There were other part of the hosue which was beautiful as well, such as the 1st floor balcony and also, the layout of the street which is not only wide but well, you just had to be there. I am not sure about the price range but its going to be most probably beyond 800K.

Sigh.
