Alfred’s sanctuary

It’s amazing how Alfred Vargas has maximized his three-storey, 180-square-metter townhouse in Don Antonio Heights, Quezon City, thanks to his friend, interior designer Nina Dumlao, who transformed an otherwise cramped space into a cozy sanctuary.

Painted mostly in white, the townhouse reflects Alfred’s cool personality.

And his religiosity. Beside the ground-floor entrance is the image of The Virgin Mary in glass (right, below) and a statue of The Sacred Heart of Jesus (right) welcomes you at the top of the stairs to the second floor.

ATasmanian Devil and a guitar (right, bottom) lie at the foot of Alfred’s king-size bed. Standing on the shelf beside his bed are pictures of him and former(?) girlfriend LJ Reyes (below), above which is a picture of Alfred with Carrie Lee (his leading lady in the GMA soap Muli).

A certified metrosexual, Alfred (top, right, as new endorser of Dr. Raul B. Guanzon’s clinics in Greenhills, San Juan, Metro Manila, and in Libis, Quezon City; telephones 722-4972 and 683-0448) really saved up to build his sanctuary, his first time to live away from home.

"I spend most of my time in my bedroom (far right)," said Alfred.

The sanctuary is complete with (far right, middle to bottom) a small sala made to look bigger by mirrored walls, one side of which is covered by Alfred’s sexy photos from a coffee-table book for Walker (which he also endorses), a recreation room with a huge TV and a treadmill, a dining table for four, and a small kitchen.
