Our Home... Finally!

Well, today we finally did it... we actually committed to an apartment very close to the ISKL Ampang campus and with an easy commute to Melawati (where Brenda will be teaching and Rex will be attending prep senior (kindergarten))

The apartment is about 2500 sq ft and well renovated in an older type block, set amongst the rain forest and only a few minutes walk from Ampang Point, shops, taxis etc. There are plenty of good walks around the area... the location is ideal.

It has 3 bedrooms plus a maid's room behind the kitchen. It also has 3 bathrooms... and one with a bath tub! (Bath tubs we are finding are a rarity here)

The whole apartment was renovated last year with light sand beige marble throughout. It has central air (also a rarity here). Kitchen & bathrooms all have new fittings and fixtures. The kitchen is quite modern (although small) with granite counters and relatively new electrical appliances inc a washing machine and drier and a fairly large fridge and microwave.

Apartment is on 4 levels with the dining room and kitchen/maid's room & bathroom on the ground. The back windows face the jungle where we can see some very entertaining performances from the local monkeys. On the next level up there are nice big patio doors to the balcony overlooking the city. The building is high above the city so the view from the balcony incorporates the city with those amazing Petronas Twin Towers and the KL Tower. Great view! Up one more level is a family area/loft plus the two bedrooms with a bathroom.
The final staircase leads to the master bedroom and a gorgeous master bath.

We have extremely easy access to my school 5 minute drive/ 15-20 minute walk.
We can also get to the KLCC quickly via the elevated highway and be at the Twin Towers in less than 10 minutes.

We are still staying at the Woodward's... but now that we have secured a home we will begin preparing for our cargo to be unloaded. (Tomorrow we find out if it is here)
