Space is always a premium when it comes
to property especially when it is well designed residential properties. Not only
a large interior space but a large expanse of surrounding space of a well landscaped
township makes a premium home. There’s nothing like waking up to a view out of your
living room window greeted by a large expanse of lush surrounding greenery. KimCrest,
freehold township in Puchong Hartamas is one such development. Situated a mere 10
minutes drive to Petaling Jaya is also far enough from the hustle bustle of KL city
to afford the residences expansive views of lush greenery. With most of its units
snapped up, it is no wonder why this is a sought after development. |

Here’s a study of the interior space of floor plan variants of Kim 2. Having a 2,625
square foot built up area, it is a generously large home of two and a half story.
An intermediate unit has a car porch that can accommodate
two cars which in a busy
city like KL is a norm for most professional families. It also has a good sized
patch of garden at the front as well as a yard at the back. |

The main entrance opens into a living
and dining room space. A combined living and dining room like this helps increase
the impression of spaciousness as the eye has a longer way to look into. The trend
these days is to achieve a feeling of openness allowing light to stream into the
interior space. Gone are the days where we are all walled in with lots of dark corridors.
The dining room leads into an open kitchen which is also a dry kitchen. There is
a dry as well as a wet kitchen. This is almost a must these days when it comes to
lifestyle homes. As most wonderful Asian cooking necessitates a kitchen that allows
for noisy and oily cooking, it is always impossible to have a unctional kitchen
and keep the rest of the house from smelling and feel like a grease trap. Asian
cooking also means that one would need a wok burner and a sink that is deep and
spacious enough to wash large woks and large curry pots in. However, most professionals
these days also tend to have the need for entertaining and cooking in a Western
manner ala Jamie Oliver style. Cooking for a dinner party while chatting with one’s
guests. For that purpose, a beautiful kitchen is a must. On the second floor there’s
a nice family room leading off to two common rooms and the master bedroom. The master
bedroom which comes with an ensuite bathroom has a little alcove by the window.
The third floor is like the attic room except that it feels more like the penthouse
with study, a generous wardrobe space and an ensuite bathroom.
