E&O launches seaside bungalows

FOR centuries, Penang has attracted traders, seafarers and adventurers from far and wide. Today, the island is no less popular, being one of Malaysia’s front-runners in the real estate investment market after Kuala Lumpur. It is against this backdrop of sun and surf, and city living that E&O Property Development Bhd is building the largest waterfront project there.

The company laid the foundation for the Seri Tanjung Pinang community by first selling double-storey terrace and semi-detached housing. It recently took things a notch higher by launching bungalows in three designs.

Martinique, one of three designs of waterfront bungalows with pool fronting the Straits of Malacca by E&O Property Development in Seri Tanjung Pinang.

Known as Skye, Abrezza and Martinique, the bungalows are set apart from other landed developments taking place on the island because of several factors.

The first is the overall ambience. Each home design draws inspiration from the different elements around the world that make living a pleasure.

Although the look, feel and design vary, a single thread binds them and the buyers who take to them – the desire for the finer things in life.

Those who have visited the show village and the show houses would probably agree that Martinique is the most spectacular of the three.

It blends classic lines with the best of materials like nyatoh balustrades, Italian marble flooring and Burmese teak.

Fronting the Straits of Malacca and enveloped by a meandering waterfront promenade, Martinique is a double-storey white sprawling mansion reminiscent of the white and beige plantation manors of the Caribbean Islands.
