5 Bedroom Villa in Al Manara, Jumeirah

Sometimes you walk into a house and it just feels like someone has been living well here. There is a sort of slow calm to this five bedroom villa in Al Manara right at the heart of Jumeirah and honestly you feel it from the moment you are turning in through the palm lined driveway. The trees already set the quiet mood and by the time you are stepping up the wide marble steps and seeing how the whole courtyard opens up you get why families hold onto places like this for so long.

Standing outside you notice that Mediterranean facade. The pale marble is imported and honestly you will see how it keeps the sunlight at bay so even when the Dubai summer really goes for it the house stays cool. It kind of catches the sunset and some evenings you get warm gold tones bouncing up from the pathway. Sometimes the birds land on the old stone wall and you just kind of find yourself standing out there not thinking of anything else. I guess it is just easy to slow down when there is this much peace and space outside. And with a plot area that is nearly fourteen thousand square feet you really feel how open it is.

You swing open those big wooden doors and the place spreads out in front of you. I paused in the hallway because honestly it is hard to walk past that winding staircase without stopping for a moment. It is the kind of thing that just belongs in a European villa. There is a little rose colored lift too and if you need it for moving around or just prefer it you have that option but it can be taken out if you like old fashioned stairs. The living room is wide and sun soaked all day long and the marble floors just pick up that light so sometimes you almost forget your phone lying there and end up staring out the window or stretching your feet out on the big sofa.

Connected to that you wander into a formal dining room that is set up for proper family gatherings. The table fits all your people and still the room never feels crowded so that is a rare thing. Then there is this tucked away majlis and I will be honest it is probably my favourite corner of the villa. You can open up for big celebrations or just close the doors and have a quiet chat over tea. It just works for all those moments when you want to be together but you do not want to be on top of each other.

Upstairs is where things feel more personal. The family room kind of sits inset so movie nights or lazy weekends just make sense there. Each of the five bedrooms has those high tray ceilings that give a gentle lift to the rooms and because of the big windows and all the marble the sunlight just wraps round everything. The master suite is like its own retreat. There is a proper sitting space that makes winding down so easy and the walk in closet actually has space for all your things. The master bathroom feels like something out of a spa with smooth marble and a calming feel. From some of the upstairs rooms you get a sweep of the Dubai skyline and at night it is all city lights in the distance.

Step outside and you see why having outdoor space in Al Manara is a bonus. There is a neat pool deck and in the afternoons the water always seems to be sparkling and someone is probably jumping in. There is more than enough lawn for the kids to really run or for those kickabout football matches. The back patio is where I picture morning coffee or everyone laughing at sunset. People are out walking their dogs round here and honestly it just feels like a gentle community.

The kitchen is actually set up for real cooking. There is nothing showy just proper space and finish and it would be perfect if you love to cook or have a chef. Staff rooms are in a separate section for more privacy and four covered car spaces means everyone stays cool. Grocery shops are nearby tailors are walkable and coffee is never far in Jumeirah. You really are right in the heart of it all but it feels private too.

I have seen a lot of family homes for sale in Jumeirah but something about this villa just feels honest. You can sense it has had good years but it is ready for something new too. The only way to tell if it is your fit is to walk through it yourself. If you want to know more or just want to talk about what living here feels like reach out whenever.
