Park Chateau in Pasig Metro Manila is one of the older condo developments of the area, but still offers a lot of strong selling points. The hallways and walk ways may look older, and could use a face lift but they’re still spacious, with amazing light. In fact, rather unique for this condo the natural light is filtered throughout the complex from the center core. There’s enough indoor lighting to support a robust eco-system. We went to check out this development since my sister in law was in charge of one of the unit’s renovations.
I had seen pictures of the project — so half knew what to expect, but surprisingly, it was more impressive in person. The 1 bd/ 1 ba ~ 750-800 sqft’s main window was from the bedroom balcony with the effective use of glass and the layout the light was able to fall gently across the whole apartment. The dining room the wall was texturized with a grey-green marble / stone paneling that punctuated the room with a garden feel. The entrance — which I found to be the most innovative for a condo, actually had a kind of “outside” porch complete with a an inside door so you actually felt like you were entering a house rather than a condo. Nice. Not to be left behind, the master bedroom was well sized — it’s headboard acting as the focus of the room imbued a sense of grandness, and the view from its balcony was entrancing. It made me miss my old apartment with my own balcony that was more like a porch. Alas.
With it’s location, space, view, and just finished renovation they estimated that if the owner were to sell (and apparently he’s not in the market to do that so don’t get your hopes up) it would go for at least 3M (Pesos) ~ $60K. Tempting isn’t it?
