Project Details

The entrance to Embun Kemensah

Without denying, developers are riding the trend of developing landed properties that are located 20-30 kilometres away from the city centre. It is a lucrative trend that promises more sales among home seekers who prefer to own a landed property, which are bigger and affordable. Besides that, the expansion of family members is another driving factor on why home seekers would splurge on landed properties given the mass of space. Embun is definitely among those projects that is successful in attaining the attention of home seekers and property buyers with its immense potentials.

The magnificent view of the greens

The location is definitely pristine. Embun is at the foot of Kemensah Hill, surrounded by Ulu Gombak Forest Reserve and Ampang Forest Reserve. This is an assuring guarantee to the future folks here that the holy sanctuary of the greens would not be tampered for years to come. Embun offers impeccable views of the forests despite having several housing areas around. Its location gives it an edge, literally, to compare to the others. Located on a hilly area, the units here are bound to have the green scenery regardless if the unit is located at the lower level of the development.  The development itself gives residents a peace of mind. It is a gated community. Security is tight with a 2-tier security system and security personnels patrolling around the clock.

The clubhouse has various facilities

There is a clubhouse that is opened to the residents here. The clubhouse has pools for adults and children, as well as a gym and a yoga deck for fitness enthusiasts. Imagine the view of Kemensah Hill while working out at Embun? Such a calming effect! It also has a 2.5 acres of natural green garden for those who would want to jog around the neighbourhood.

With RM380 psf., Embun is indeed a rare gem for many, especially in a such competitive housing market. Imagine purchasing a 4-storey courtyard villa for RM1.8 mio? That itself is a winner when it comes to a good bargain on a freehold land. Due to its affordability, it is no wonder that 80% of the units are taken. Done and dusted. Fear not, there are still a number of units left even at RM 1.8 mio. Booking fee is priced at RM 10, 000.00.

The main distinction that separates the units here is the 10-feet yard. Buyers have the opportunity to choose to own a yard or not. The yard offers extra space for residents to have a garden or those with pets to give them more room to roam around.

Borderless units. No fences or high gates, a gesture to avoid residents to isolate themselves from neighbours

Just a reminder, there isn’t any ‘fencing’ or ‘gates’ between the units. For some units, you will share an external common area located in between the houses. It can be a minor glitch for those who value privacy. But on a positive note, sharing an external compound would enable residents to get to know each other rather than living in isolation. Perhaps the inspiration of creating fenceless units is to get the residents engaging with each other, and to create a unified community.

A place to hang and rest for guests

Its courtyard villa starts at the LG floor. The porch can accommodate at least three cars. There is a long utility room located next to the porch that can be used to store unwanted things from the house. As residents enter the unit, they will see the lift and another store room. There is a guest room located on this floor. It is comes with its own bathroom and a pantry, a great way to give privacy to guests who are sleeping over. The 10-feet yard is also located on this floor.

Massive dry and wet kitchens for moms to go about their cooking and daily chores

Common areas are located at the Ground floor. The living and dining areas are big and spacious. The floor comes together with a terrace that offers a splendid view as residents could entertain their guests and family members here. The kitchen is divided into wet and dry kitchens as both have ample of space for the residents to run around attending to their chores. The maid’s quarters is located on this floor. It comes with its own bathroom. There is also a powder room located here for the guests.

The smallest room on the level

The first floor has three rooms that include the junior master bedroom. This would be the level to have all of the family members’ rooms. Plus, each room is attached to a bathroom.

Great natural lighting via its high glass ceilings

And of course, the highest level of the house will be the master bedroom’s haven. Gracious in its size, this is the ideal place for parents to rest and perhaps work from home. The bedroom is ginormous along with a walk in closet that leads to a lavish bathroom. The bathroom has a tub accompanied by great natural lighting via its high glass ceilings!

But do bear in mind that all units come unfurnished.

Location

Embun is located on the Greater side of Kuala Lumpur. Nestling in a neighbourhood that has been around for decades along with various existing townships proves that the location is simply strategic for those who are looking for a place to call home.

And you are almost there!

Those heading from Jalan Ampang or Jalan Tun Razak would have to take the MRR2 that will direct residents all the way to Taman Melawati. Upon entering Taman Melawati, residents will have to drive all the up to Jalan Tiara Kemensah 3. It would take at least 20 to 25 minutes to reach Embun.

This is not an isolated township. Thankfully. There are quite a number of older housing areas located nearby. It is a testament of the location and its proven prospects. There are hardly high-rise condominiums here. Perhaps due to the mass of land surrounding Kemensah, people would have a higher tendency to purchase and invest on a landed property rather than a condominium unit. In this situation, most buyers would lavishly go for bigger units to accommodate their family members for a long run.

Among the closest housing areas are Taman Tropika Kemensah, Tiara Kemensah, Kemensah Heights, Kemensah Mewah, Prima Villa, Amber Hill and Twin Palms Kemensah.

Those who have chosen to reside here would probably tell you that despite located slightly further away from the city centre, the immediate amenities are just sufficient. The entire area has been around for decades and amenities here are matured and countless!

Giant is the closest hypermarket to Embun Kemensah

Giant is the closest hypermarket as it is located at the foot of Taman Melawati. Besides that, there are smaller grocery shops nearby that would be good enough to cater a quick grocery stop. There are ample of various amenities around. This include automobile workshops, restaurants, food stalls or warungs as well as other specialised stores within Taman Melawati area.

Among the many gastronomic highlights of this area include The Flavourist, Playground Coffery, Tango Café, Tim’s Teapot Terrace Café, Sakura Kristal Restaurant, Bread Ties as well as the famous food truck, Mustafa Jones Burger that stations its truck at Giant, Taman Permata.

Summary

Buyers who seek for a home should seriously give Embun a visit. The price of RM 380 psf. is just incredibly affordable in an area that exudes privacy along with the lush of greens. With a 4-storey courtyard villa, buyers, if in luck, would still be able to purchase the unit below RM 2.0 mio. That itself is a bargain given the fact that it is located on a freehold land and the population here is controlled to only 51 units. With amenities and facilities within an immediate reach, Embun definitely ticks all the right boxes for those looking for a home to accommodate an expanding family.
