Finding a good townhouse that is not far from the BTS, making city travel easy, and surrounded by amenities is no longer a challenge. If you simply change your mindset and consider locations within an 8-kilometer radius from the BTS, you can find spacious townhouses starting at just 4.39 million baht. This price is quite reasonable, especially when compared to some condos near the BTS where medium-sized units can exceed 5 million baht.

          Today, the team from TerraBKK will take everyone on a tour of a 3-story townhouse at the J Grand Sathorn-Kalpaphruek project by J.S.P. (J.S.P. Property Co., Ltd.). The project is located on Kalpaphruek Road, which not only offers convenient travel but also features a home design that suits modern families, with usable space accommodating up to 3 generations.

Opening Kalpaphruek Road

          Kalpaphruek or Rural Highway No. 1001 opened for traffic in 2002. This road was constructed under a royal decree that defined land areas for expropriation in the districts of Chom Thong, Phasi Charoen, Bang Khun Thian, and Nong Khaem in Bangkok in 1994. It connects Ratchaphruek Road with Kanchanaphisek Road. Initially, this road was referred to as the Taksin-Petchkasem Road to the outer ring road, as it starts from the Taksin-Petchkasem intersection and ends at the western outer ring road (now part of Kanchanaphisek Road). Later, the Department of Rural Roads requested the Fine Arts Department to consider a new name, thus it was named “Kalpaphruek Road”, named after Kalpaphruek (Cassia bakeriana), a sacred tree that shares botanical characteristics with Ratchaphruek (Cassia fistula), and both bloom and shed leaves during the same period.

          With a distance of about 7.7 kilometers, Kalpaphruek Road connects the inner areas of Bangkok with the outskirts, making travel easier, enhancing potential, alleviating traffic congestion, and supporting the growth of areas along the outer ring road, linking them more closely to the city center such as Silom and Sathorn via car routes or the extended BTS Green Line (Wongwian Yai-Bang Wa).

          After Kalpaphruek Road opened for traffic, the areas it passes through, from the elevated intersection at Suan Liab, crossing Khamnan Maen Road and over Wat Sing Canal to the elevated intersection at Bang Kholat, have become much busier. Numerous amenities have emerged along this route, and the number of users has increased. Currently, the Department of Rural Roads is expanding Kalpaphruek Road from 4 lanes to 6 lanes in both directions, expected to be completed by November 2019. Once finished, this will improve traffic distribution during rush hours and make it easier to connect to the extended BTS Green Line (Wongwian Yai-Bang Wa).

Travel directly to the CBD of Sathorn - Silom by BTS

          The J Grand Sathorn-Kalpaphruek project features a convenient transportation system. The project is located right on Kalpaphruek Road, near the intersection with Kanchanaphisek Road, allowing for easy access by car from both sides. If you want to head towards Silom or Sathorn, you can take Kalpaphruek Road straight into Ratchaphruek Road, passing the intersections with Ratchadapisek Road, Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Road, and Krung Thonburi Road, crossing the Taksin Bridge. For Kanchanaphisek Road, it leads to the outer ring road towards Bang Khae, Nong Khaem, Taling Chan, Bang Bon, and Rama 2.

          For public transportation, there is also a pier at Khlong Phasi Charoen running from Phasi Charoen Pier to Phetkasem 69 Pier, and the extended BTS Green Line (Wongwian Yai-Bang Wa), which is the most convenient and time-saving way to travel into the city. The nearest stations to the J Grand Sathorn-Kalpaphruek project are Wutthakat Station and Bang Wa Station, approximately 6 km away, and in the future, there will be the MRT Blue Line, with the nearest station being Lak Song, about 4 km away.

Convenient shopping near malls and schools

          The amenities in the Kalpaphruek area are also increasing to meet the needs of residents. Adjacent to the J Grand Sathorn-Kalpaphruek project is the Sampheng 2 project, which includes Sampheng 2 Floating Market with shops, restaurants, and a 7-11 convenience store. Kalpaphruek Road itself has Big C, Lotus, Makro, HomePro, and various restaurants. Shopping centers include The Mall Bangkae, The Mall Tha Phra, and Central Rama 2. Schools and hospitals in the area are well-equipped, such as Lertlah School, 12th Science School, Bangpakok 8 Hospital, Nakhonthon Hospital, and Bangmod Hospital, all reachable within 15 minutes by car.

Choose a home design that suits your family members

          Currently, the Kalpaphruek area is rapidly growing, with numerous mid to high-end condo, single house, twin house, and townhouse projects emerging continuously. One of these is the J Grand Sathorn-Kalpaphruek project, a 3-story townhouse designed with outstanding functionality, offering practical usable space under the concept of “Family happiness starts here”.

          For the J Grand Sathorn-Kalpaphruek project, it features 120 units of 3-story English-style townhouses on over 12-0-23.4 rai of land. There is one house type available, starting from 18.5 sq. wah, with a usable area of 161 sq. m. and a width of 5 meters. This is the only house type that offers 2 functional options: a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2-parking space layout, and a new 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2-parking space layout with both options designed to be spacious, giving the feel of living in a detached house.

          The project’s front is adjacent to Kalpaphruek Road, while the entrance is about 300 meters in, featuring a security guard station at the front. The advantage of having the project set back like this is that residents will enjoy more privacy, with no noise from the main road. Inside the project, each alley contains only 8 houses.

          Today, the team from TerraBKK will show you the sample houses of both functions.

Four Fairfield : 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 parking spaces

Five Kensington : 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 parking spaces

          It should be noted that both of these house functions have a similar general layout. The first floor consists of a living area, dining area, kitchen, and a multipurpose room that can be converted into a bedroom. The second floor has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, while the third floor differs: the Four Fairfield model has only one master bedroom styled as a penthouse, while the Five Kensington model divides the bedroom into 2 rooms.

          The standard house materials include sliding doors made of black aluminum with green tinted glass, with additional side windows to allow more natural light into the house. There are also windows that can serve as display shelves. The ceiling height from the floor to the ceiling on the first and second floors is 2.7 meters, while the third floor is 3 meters high. There are also storage functions under the stairs with 3 steps. The walls are smooth and painted white, with granite flooring on the first floor and laminate on the second and third floors.

          Additionally, the project will install a water tank, water pump, alarm system, Smart Home system, and emergency assistance signals within the house. The furnishings, decorations, and electrical appliances in the sample house are not included, but can serve as inspiration for your own home decoration.

Sample house type Four Fairfield: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 parking spaces

First Floor: This area serves as the living room, accommodating a medium-sized sofa, with a dining area connected to the kitchen, which has been extended to allow more light. Opposite the dining area is a multipurpose room that can be converted into a bedroom for the elderly, which in the sample house is decorated as a music practice room. Next to it is a bathroom with standard sanitary ware, along with an emergency assistance signal system. Exiting leads to a TV shelf area suitable for a 50-inch TV, adjacent to the staircase leading to the second floor.

Second Floor: This floor features a central landing between the 2 bedrooms, suitable for placing a bookshelf or a small seating area. There are 2 bedrooms on this floor, with the front bedroom having a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and direct access to the bathroom. The back bedroom requires exiting to use the bathroom, and in the sample house, the back bedroom has been set up as an office.

Third Floor: This floor in the Four Fairfield model will be the Master Bedroom styled as a penthouse, with functional areas divided into a bedroom, a sitting area, a walk-in closet, an en-suite bathroom, and a balcony.

Sample house type Five Kensington: 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 parking spaces

          For the Five Kensington model, the first and second floors are similar to the Four Fairfield model, with the difference being on the third floor, which is divided into 2 bedrooms. The front area will be the Master Bedroom, while the back will be the second bedroom, and the bathroom on the third floor will be shared.

          Finally, the amenities at the J Grand Sathorn-Kalpaphruek project are comprehensive, featuring an English-style clubhouse with a saltwater swimming pool, fitness room, and an English-style public park at the front of the project, along with CCTV and 24-hour security.
