Four Bedrooms and a Servant Room: Inside The Reserve's Largest Plan

A "4.5 BHK" is a home with four full bedrooms plus one smaller room — at The Reserve, that extra half is a servant room with its own toilet. As per the client-approved plan sheet, the 4.5 BHK at The Reserve is a corner home of 1,637 sq.ft. carpet, in Series 5 and 6, with west-facing balconies.

It is the largest plan we have seen for the project, and it is built for households that need more than three bedrooms: joint families, parents moving in, or families with live-in help.

One important note before you go further. The developer's page lists only 2 and 3 BHK homes for Phase 1. Ask the sales team which tower and phase the 4.5 BHK layout is released in before you plan your budget or visit around it.

What does "4.5 BHK" mean?

The ".5" in any BHK label means an extra room that is smaller than a standard bedroom or has a specific use. Depending on the project, it can be a study, a store room, a utility room or a servant room. That is why the label alone tells you little — you have to look at the plan.

In this case the meaning is clear from the plan sheet:

• 4 bedrooms: master, parents', guest and kids'
• + 1 servant room (3.55 x 2.03 m) with its own toilet
• Hall (living room) and kitchen, plus balconies

If you are comparing 4.5 BHK flats in Pune generally, always ask what the half room is, whether it has a window and ventilation, and whether it has its own toilet. Those three questions decide whether it is a real room or a large store.

The 1,637 sq.ft. corner plan, room by room

All dimensions are from the plan sheet. Feet are converted at 1 m = 3.2808 ft, rounded to one decimal. Carpet area is as per the plan sheet; the final RERA carpet area is the one in the agreement for sale.

Units on this plan are numbered 205, 305 … 2105 as per the plan sheet.

Arrival and living

The entrance lobby is generous at 2.58 x 1.50 m — wide enough for a full shoe-and-coat unit without blocking the door. The living room is 3.65 x 5.45 m and opens onto a main balcony that runs 7.50 m long. That balcony is the defining feature of the plan: at roughly 24.6 ft, it can hold a seating corner at one end and planters or a swing at the other.

Kitchen and service zone

The kitchen is 3.23 x 2.45 m with a kitchen balcony of 2.27 x 1.07 m. Next to the service side is the servant room (3.55 x 2.03 m) with its own toilet (2.03 x 1.28 m). Grouping these together keeps household work away from the bedroom wing — a sensible arrangement for families with live-in help.

Bedroom wing

A central passage of 1.95 x 3.48 m connects the bedrooms.

• Master bedroom, 5.45 x 3.48 m, with a sit-out of 2.30 x 2.45 m and an attached toilet. This is a long room — nearly 18 ft — which gives space for a bed, a wardrobe wall and a small reading chair.
• Parents' bedroom, 3.65 x 3.83 m, with its own toilet. Close to square, and the second-largest bedroom.
• Guest bedroom, 3.05 x 3.48 m.
• Kids' bedroom, 3.13 x 3.50 m.
• Common / kids' toilets at 2.45 x 1.50 m.

West-facing balconies

The 4.5 BHK plan has west-facing balconies as per the plan sheet. West-facing balconies get afternoon and evening sun. Some buyers love the evening light; others prefer to plan blinds or a pergola for the warmer months.

During your visit, stand on the balcony in the afternoon if you can, and check what the view is from your preferred floor. The developer describes a riverside setting with views towards the NDA hills; which view a given unit gets depends on its tower and floor, so ask. Our page on riverside homes at The Reserve covers the setting.

Who this plan suits

Multi-generation families

A dedicated parents' bedroom with its own toilet, separate from the master, is the main reason families choose this plan. Elderly parents get privacy and an attached bathroom, and the couple keeps the master suite.

Families with live-in help

The servant room with its own toilet means help can stay without sharing a family bathroom. It is placed on the service side near the kitchen.

Work-from-home households

With four bedrooms, one can become a full study or home office without giving up a guest room.

Buyers upgrading from a 3 BHK

If you are comparing this with a 3 BHK at the same project, the 3 BHK floor plan guide has the room sizes for all three 3 BHK types.

Other ways to use the servant room

Not every family needs live-in help. The servant room, with its own toilet, can also work as:

• A home office for one person, with a compact desk and shelving along the 3.55 m wall
• A hobby or craft room
• A room for a visiting cook or caregiver on alternate days
• A dedicated storage and utility room for luggage, seasonal items and cleaning equipment

At 2.03 m (about 6.7 ft) in its shorter dimension, it fits a single bed along the long wall with some floor space left. Check the window position on the plan before deciding.

Furniture-fit thinking with real dimensions

Plan sheets are easier to judge when you place real furniture on them. Use your own furniture measurements; the figures below are typical sizes for planning only.

Before ordering wardrobes or a modular kitchen, confirm door swings, window sill heights and the location of AC provisions. The developer lists AC provision in the living-dining and all bedrooms, and the clear ceiling height is approx. 2.9 m.
