| One of the most immediately apparent qualities of
the design is the light and airiness in each home. Thanks
to well-designed spaces and a skylight that converts
the stairwell into a light-well, the centre of the house
is almost luminous. Careful attention is paid to the
way air flows through the house, keeping it cool and
comfortable at all times.
Another key design feature are the large rooms. The
master bedroom is especially large because it was designed
for those with aspirations for refined living as well
as those who are already accustomed to luxury. At around
377 sq ft, the master bedroom is almost 50 per cent
larger than the average master bedroom in new developments.
There is a large ensuite walk-through wardrobe and master
bathroom which has a sunken jacuzzi bath. Thoughtful
design touches also allowed for a small ledge with a
parapet wall just beyond the jacuzzi. With lush landscaping,
the atmosphere of an outdoor bath can easily be achieved.
A new feature in Phase 3 is in the design of the living
and dining areas, which now flow as an expanse of uninterrupted
space on one level minus the dividing steps. This thoughtful
layout creates greater flexibility for different family
lifestyles and needs, be it as a fluid, generous entertainment
space or to accommodate the easy movement of family
members.
Another unique feature is the roof garden. The addition
of the green space on the roof gives The Greenwood the
feeling of being buffered by nature on all sides, extending
one's relationship with the land. On the ground floor
nature is brought into the home with the garden forming
an extension of the living and dining areas. The bedroom
here opens out into the garden to achieve an indoor/outdoor
feel, an important attribute that defines modern tropical
living. If it is not required it can be added to the
kitchen to make it even larger.
This key space in the home has also been given extra
thought. Not only are wet and dry areas carefully incorporated
into the kitchen design but the dry kitchen can also
be completely shut off from the wet kitchen so that
if you choose, you can have a display kitchen with an
island counter-top that doubles as a serving area for
special functions.
Apart
from design, there are other important factors to consider
too. The stretch of Dunearn Road and Bukit Timah closest
to The Greenwood has some of Singapore's top-ranking
schools. These include Methodist Girls' School, Anglo
Chinese School, Chinese High School, Singapore Chinese
Girls' School and Raffles Girls' School, which is within
walking distance from The Greenwood.
It is hard to argue with the advantages of a good location.
The Greenwood is also in District 11, easily recognised
as one of the most coveted districts in Singapore. It
is not only just minutes to Orchard Road and the Central
Business District but being centrally located, it is
also close to popular recreational clubs like the Singapore
Island Country Club, Raffles Town Club and Tanglin Club.
You will also be close to the popular food haven of
Holland Village.
But you won't really want to leave the neighbourhood
often. Greenwood Avenue is fast becoming an enclave
for those with discerning tastes. In the last few years,
several restaurants have opened there, giving the neighbourhood
a distinctive cosmopolitan flavour. On the same strip,
you will find a famous bakery, gelateria, and butchery
that has an almost cult following.
There are also pragmatic factors to consider when buying
a home. It isn't very often that a development like
The Greenwood comes onto the market because large sites
for landed residential homes in the top districts are
very rare indeed.
When buying a new home, you will want to know that
experts have designed your home. You will want tangible
as well as intangible benefits. At The Greenwood, we
have considered them all for you.
