Those of you who regular visit launches in Bandar Puteri would be familiar with a row of bungalows shown at the scale model (at their sales office). This row of exclusive units are situated on the elevated part of Bandar Puteri where the other phases like Grande View, Vista, Summit and The Peak are located.

Now they have finally launched this phase of bungalows, are there seem the be very much fewer units than initially envisioned, probably as a move to make it more exclusive (and also more expensive). There are only 20 units along Jalan Puteri 12/2, they all face outward towards the general direction of the main Bandar Puteri area.

We’ve reviewed many of the recent launches of Bandar Puteri, including a development review of the area. You are encouraged to read the earlier reviews to find out our take on the connectivity, accessibility and quality of this massive development by the IOI group:

Development Review: Bandar Puteri by IOI Properties

Elyssa Villa
Nadia
Eugenia
Lilac (22’ x 75’ linkhouses)
Aseana Puteri (condominiums)
Bayu Puteri (apartments)
Grande View (22’ x 70’ hilltop linkhouses)

While this elevated area of Bandar Puteri maintains it’s designation as the more higher priced phases of the development, some of the units here are basically standard size linkhomes, but with the added premium of the panoramic view attached to it. There is even an affordable apartment (Bayu Puteri) near here. Perhaps it is considered to be pricey for this premium, but the demand from the buyers is still strong.

The semi-D phase (Eugenia) and bungalow phase (Elyssa Villas) are located at another enclave, near the Aseana Puteri condo.

For RM2.189million upwards, what do you get? For a start, you get a huge plot of land. The standard plot gets you 74’ x 125’. Comparatively, most other bungalow phases in other developers in the same price bracket are much smaller. There are two corner units with much bigger land available, but the price is higher accordingly.

There are two one typical layout available, and you can choose one of either mirror image layout. One of them is has a longer driveway, and this adds to build up slightly, giving you a choice of 5,450 or 5,863sq.ft. The layout is spacious, given the large layout spread over two floors. We like that they’ve maintained it as a double-storey unit, we think it works better than the more popular two-and-a-half storey variety. There are 6 bedrooms and 6 baths, and large spaces all round for the living, dining and kitchen. Even the driveway is enough for 4-6 cars, depending on the unit you buy.

As with luxury units like these, it all boils down to personal preference. If you can afford it, and like the area and layout, it’s probably good for you. But overall, this looks like a nice addition to IOI Properties’ portfolio for Bandar Puteri.

The units come with guarded features (together with the other phases nearby) and they are throwing in together a home alarm package with the unit.
