Cypress Villa is a part of the 350-acre Desaria development in Sungai Ara, Penang. Consisting of 48 semi-detached and 3 bungalow units, the phase is targeted to complete in 2015. The development is located on an elevated sloping parcel of land, with home plots sized generously, from 2,800 sf to 7,300 sf. Three types of designs are available. In terms of build-up size, Type A is the smallest, with 3,700 sf, Type B is a maximum of 4,100 sf, and Type C measures 4,350 sf. The homes have functional, well-planned interior layouts with spacious car porches and sufficient utility and family communal spaces that would suit most growing families. All the properties come with at least 5 +1 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, and feature ample open terraces and patios where home occupants can relish the relatively peaceful surroundings of this particular area in the Sungai Ara town. Double volume ceilings above the dining area allow for improved ventilation and visual connection within the various spaces in the house. One of Cypress Villa's best features is its landscaped surroundings. Within the boundaries of the development, two linear parks provide a safe space for parents, children and residents of all ages to enjoy nature and a sense of community. Cars are only able to access the development via a card access system, while the compound is also guarded 24/7 by a security team. Residents who are working in towns like Bayan Lepas and Batu Maung – such as in the industrial zones or around the Penang International Airport – will find the location of Cypress Villa highly advantageous. Not only is the development within easy reach of main roads like Jalan Bayan Lepas, Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim, Jalan Tun Dr Awang and Jalan Paya Terubong, but there are many amenities nearby.

Fairview International School.
