This 5-bedroom, Jumeirah Park villa epitomises family-friendly luxury. 4700 sq. ft., and on a 7900 sq. ft. plot, the single-row home is directly in front of a serene lake, with a park and tennis court nearby. Vacant on transfer, it also enjoys views of the vibrant city skyline.

The villa features a classic exterior in a primarily sandy colour with tiled roofing — almost as if the surrounding nature flows into the design. It overlooks an L-shaped pool that neighbours manicured greenery, a wooden deck, and shaded seating and dining areas. All these are a mere step away from the lake. A walkway winds around the house, with greenery forming a canopy atop it.

Inside, spacious living areas enjoy parquet and other richly designed features including vivid blue walls — an aesthetic that blends an elegant modern look with that of a chic wooden lodge. A charming family room adjoins a renovated, open kitchen with distinguished white cabinetry, and even fashionable brick walls in some areas.

Elsewhere, the five bedrooms are sophisticated and retain privacy, yet open out to balconies with views of the long and winding lake, and the city skyline.

A maid’s room enhances convenience, while six bathrooms and extra storage accompany.
