4 Bedroom Apartment in 4 Bourdillon, Lagos

Some homes just have a certain feel from the very first moment. This four bedroom apartment at 4 Bourdillon, right in the middle of Ikoyi Island Lagos, is one of those. The first time I stepped in, I caught myself just standing quietly and looking around for a bit. There is something about the way the light moves through the rooms, especially when the sun is low and you can see a sliver of the skyline through floor to ceiling windows. People always talk about space, but here it is more than just the numbers. Over five thousand square feet yes, but it actually feels even larger because everything just flows. You get this open living area that lets you drift from one side to another, from the dining table to the kitchen where you can really picture whipping up a big breakfast or some late night snacks.

One thing you will notice here is that the balcony is not just a little afterthought. It wraps all the way around. You step outside and there it is, that easy Lagos breeze. Sometimes there are birds hopping about in the morning and it is just quiet for a bit, even though you are in the heart of the city. The master bedroom comes with its own feeling of retreat too, and the closets are not just for show. Full on his and hers walk ins, so there is no more squeezing in shirts or sorting shoes every season. Each bedroom is ensuite, honestly it makes mornings so much easier, no more queues at the bathroom. Guests can stay over and everyone still keeps their space.

Walking through the building you get a sense that there was real thought put into the details. Downstairs, the front drive is all cobbled and landscaped. The lobby has these water features that actually make you pause for a moment. The staff here nod at you in the lift and it feels quietly friendly. You find there are some perks for staying in too. Residents have access to a proper pool, so if you swim laps or just want to float and look at the trees you can. The gym has all the kit you would need, no waiting in lines to use anything. There is even a kids play area tucked where you can keep an eye out while chatting with neighbors. Some of the families here meet for tennis matches, and there are some lively games in the halls on weekends. You get a multipurpose room for gatherings, but really, many people just spill out onto their balcony with a mug of coffee in the evening.

Living here in Ikoyi, you are surrounded by some of the best bits of Lagos. The waterfront is right down the road, and sometimes you see people jogging there just after sunrise. If you play golf, there is a premium course nearby and it becomes a bit of a weekend ritual. Food wise, you are never far from good coffee or something a little fancier—lots of new places are popping up all the time. Shops around here offer a mix of high end options, so errands kind of blend in with a stroll.

It is a place that feels private without being cut off, calm in the middle of one of the most exciting spots in Lagos. Sometimes you almost forget your phone, because you are just busy noticing how the place feels in the afternoon. If you want to know if this apartment at 4 Bourdillon is the right fit, honestly nothing beats walking through it yourself.
