Home is where the heart is & your dream home should match your personality

Live in the place you’ve always dreamed of.

Home is where the heart is, but sometimes the heart wants more.

After spending so much time working from home during this awful year, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to live in a beautiful property with expansive rooms and lush surroundings.

Who wouldn’t want to play with a pet dog or cat in a living room in front of a roaring fire, or stand on a balcony surrounded by flowering plants and greenery?

But buying a home is a serious endeavour. An investment to be made after weighing the pros and cons, considering one’s finances, and pinpointing the exact location where you will hopefully spend the next few decades of your life.

With that in mind, perhaps the key to selecting a good property investment is to consider your personality, and pick one that suits you best. After all, this is your choice to make.

The waterfront

Singapore was built on the back of a river, and even today we are never far away from a waterfront.

But there’s a difference between having to travel to the seaside or a waterway, and having one right at your doorstep.

Avenue South Residence is slated to be the first development at the doorstep of the Greater Southern Waterfront, Singapore’s upcoming business district.

Not only will residents live near the entertainment complexes of the Waterfront and Sentosa, but they will also have sweeping views of the sea to greet them every morning.

The natural

Perhaps you like to think of yourself as “one with nature.” You keep several plants -- not just cactuses -- and not all of them have died. Your favourite cartoon growing up was Captain Planet.

If one or more of the above descriptions apply to you, consider the Woodleigh Residences. Located beside Woodleigh MRT station and near Bidadari Park, it offers a “community in a garden” with a lake and heritage walking trails.

Each residence also boasts Japanese-style craftsmanship and design, including “intelligent space maximisation”, which allows a family to customise their space according to their needs.

But if you’re looking for a property overseas instead of in Singapore, a life in harmony with the environment is also in store for residents of the new White City Living in West London.

Situated near the ritzy districts of Notting Hill, Kensington and Hammersmith, the Water Gardens offers a slice of nature in the heart of the bustling metropolis.

According to Pankaj Patel, one of the architects, the key to the White City Living’s masterplan is a network of gardens and water landscapes, drawing on the rich history of the area.

One could almost believe you were on a country estate somewhere, instead of an upscale West London neighbourhood.

The luxurious

Maybe you prize luxury instead, and appreciate the finer things in life. You work hard, are financially secure, and wish to treat yourself just a little.

The Martin Modern may be of interest. The address alone evokes the image of wealth and high-end living -- District 9.

The thing about the Martin Modern is that residents don’t have to settle for just a good location, nice views or plush facilities. The Martin Modern has them all.

Residents can entertain their friends while taking in magnificent views of the city, or have a private event at exclusive dining and club lounges.

If you want to go big, like a party to celebrate that latest good thing in your life, the lawn and the pool make excellent settings.

And when they want to recharge after all that social activity, a quiet, rejuvenating walk along the forest trail or by the garden spring beckons.

But if you want something a little closer to the heart of the city, the Marina One Residences are waiting for prospective buyers.

The “definitive luxury residential address”, it connects residents to no fewer than four MRT lines through the Downtown and Marina Bay stations, as well as the upcoming Shenton Way and Marina Bay stations.

Just a stone’s throw from Gardens by the Bay, it offers residents breathtaking views of both the sea and the glittering lights of the city.

The solitude

But perhaps you don’t want to be at the heart of everything.

Instead of bustling crowds, bright lights and background noise, you want somewhere quiet, out of the spotlight, but still easily accessible whenever you do feel like heading into town.

Urban Treasures, a freehold condominium located in Jalan Eunos, gives you the best of both worlds.

It’s in a relatively quieter area of town, but one can easily drive onto the PIE and reach places such as Bedok, the East Coast Park, Joo Chiat and Katong in under 10 minutes. And the CBD area is only eight MRT stops away.

Whether you want to hit the beach, have a drink in a trendy bar, or have a late-night supper, Urban Treasures offers all that and more from its convenient location.

And then we have Tampines. Tampines may not be the first neighbourhood you think of when you think of high-end living.

But the Treasure At Tampines aims for an oasis in the middle of the up-and-coming Eastern neighbourhood.

It has extensive facilities on broad grounds, so much that you could probably go days at a time without having to leave, there’s so much to do.

Kids can enjoy the pools and the water playgrounds.

Also, you’re just a short trip away from Changi Airport and Jewel, with all its shopping luxuries.
