The sensible solution to a perfect city living lifestyle that is easy on the wallet

An artist impression of Vista Sentul Residences.

Anyone buying their property for the first time will feel the sensation of excitement that will never be replicated because it marks the start of a significantly brand new chapter. It is a big deal as there are many things to consider, from the initial process of house-hunting to securing the loan. It is also vital that first experience be a memorable one, providing a solid foundation and a sound basis for future upgrades.

First time home buyers should be happy to note that there are developers with projects that can offer this unforgettable experience. Such is the case with Vista Sentul Residences, a development by Platinum Victory that occupies a 2.38 acres site within the Kuala Lumpur city limits. This freehold high-rise condominium project is located at Jalan Sentul, adjacent to Jalan Ipoh and Sentul Park.

Vista Sentul Residences comprises two high-rise towers housing a total of 705 units with a gross development value of RM308mil. In an age where living within the city limits means expensive real estate, this development offers a breath of fresh air with the price tag starting from RM329,800, and the maintenance fee is expected to be at 35 sen per sq ft. 

Contrasting designs that blend

Residents can enjoy a relaxing swim in the infinity pool overlooking the park.

The shape of these towers are different - one tower has a linear arrangement and the other a centralised arrangement. The combination of these two towers is similar to the concept of salt and pepper shakers because they appear very different yet provide refreshing contrasts that coexist in harmony. The design is intended to create two distinctively unique and contrasting residential towers that can address and satisfy the concerns and wishes of the different spectrum of the potential home buyer market.

The built-ups are suitable for both singles and young families. There are five configurations for the 689 sq ft and 807 sq ft units. The three-bedroom and two-bathroom units are sized at 818 sq ft and 958 sq ft. The biggest unit, at 1,216 sq ft, offers a three-bedroom and three-bathroom configuration. Dualkey units are available. Platinum Victory is offering four types of starter homes, namely Easy Entry Starter Home, Homemaker Starter Home, Family Living Starter Home and MultiDimensional Starter Home, giving home buyers an attainable entry into one of the hottest properties in the market.

Much thought has been put into the facilities that are provided in Vista Sentul Residences. Rather than create facilities that would remain idle, the level 8 facilities podium is centred on necessities, especially given these tumultuous times. Practical facilities like the convenience store, laundrette, gym, outdoor fitness deck, surau, yoga studio and community herb garden help build community spirit.

At the same time, children are given the opportunity to culture a reading habit with the library and play in the kids’ playscape or wading pool while the older generation can enjoy the infinity pool and barbecue terrace, among others. Speckled around all these facilities are shrubs and greenery for a peaceful ambience. The modest-cost home leverages on its mature surroundings to provide residents with great accessibility and convenience in getting around and reaching for amenities.

For most first-time home buyers, convenience is one of the most critical factors. That is why Platinum Victory, which is known for its quality homes that are within home buyers’ budgets, has ensured this development has numerous benefits. Vista Sentul Residences embeds a different approach to building design, putting the needs of the people who occupy it at the heart of the process.

All elements were considered and curated with the well-being of residents in mind. The spaces are designed to overcome the negative aspects of high-rise living. Their concerns on privacy, safety, confined space, heat built-up, lack of greenery, service core, water leakage problems, and light and ventilation issues are all tackled to ensure they can live comfortably and have peace of mind.

Schools within walking distance

The layouts are designed for both singles and young families.

 There is no shortage of essentials where Vista Sentul Residences is concerned, especially when it comes to educational needs.
