Treasure Crest Review

Treasure Crest is a 504-unit Executive Condominium (EC) at Anchorvale Crescent, a short distance away from Cheng Lim LRT. At time of writing (July 2016), only 3-bedroom units are still available.

For interested buyers, the show flat is on site. Construction has already started and the foundation seems to be done.

The project consists of eight 15-storey blocks and facilities are mostly in the middle of the two rows of blocks.

Facilities are as follows:

If you’re looking at getting a 3-bedroom unit, only stack 24 is internal-facing with a pool view. Stacks 17, 21, 28, 32 and 36 are all outward facing towards what is currently a heavy vehicle carpark, but is zoned for residential use in the future.

For 3-bedroom premium units, premium stacks would be 7, 9, 14, 23, 29 and 30, each offering residents a full pool view. Stacks 10 and 26 will have a partial pool view.

Lastly, for 4-bedroom units, stacks 8 and 25 are internal-facing with a full pool view. Stack 1 will have a partial pool view.

Showflat units are available for the 3-bedroom premium and 4-bedroom units. Photos in this review are from both units.

Cabinets with solid surface countertops and a steel sink come with the kitchen. Appliances provided include a built-in oven and a gas cooker hob and hood from Bosch. If need be, two people can move around in the kitchen at any one time, in all the unit types.

The kitchen leads to the yard area, with the utility space and water closet on the right.

The dining area is right in front of the kitchen, to the right of the entrance.

From the entrance, the living space is straight ahead and stretches out to the balcony.

The balcony is pretty wide and covers one of the common bedrooms.

The common bedrooms can generally accommodate a queen bed.

Going with a single bed however, frees up more space.

The common bathroom comes with a wet and dry area as per normal. Fittings are from Hansgrohe.

The master bedroom is quite spacious and can probably accommodate a king-sized bed.

The master bathroom is similar to the common one, except maybe a bit wider.

The 4-bedroom unit comes with a wet and dry kitchen.

The dry kitchen is fully functional with a sink and electric hob.

Two people can move around simultaneously in the wet kitchen and as with the 3-bedroom unit, it leads to the yard area with the utility and water closet.

The living area here is much larger and similarly extends to the balcony.

The balcony area is ideal as additional seating area when guests are over or even as a relaxation corner in the evenings.

The common bedrooms can each accommodate a queen bed.

Alternatively, you can convert one of the common bedrooms into kids’ room. Or even into a lounge or entertainment room of sorts.

The wet area in the common bathroom is smaller than usual with the 4-bedroom unit.

The master bedroom is almost the same as the one in the 3-bedroom unit.

And lastly, the master bathroom.

There has been strong demand for units at Treasure Crest since its launch in mid-July. 362 of the 504 units were sold within the first two days of booking. Approximately 62% were booked by first-timers, including those who made the purchase under the Fiancé/Fiancée scheme with the rest purchased by HDB upgraders. First to be snapped up, were the 56 4-bedroom units.
