3 bedroom villa in Maeen, The Lakes

Some homes just feel calm the second you open the door. This three bedroom villa in Maeen at The Lakes really has that easygoing vibe. I remember visiting the house just after lunch and for a moment I just stood in the entrance, taking a quiet breath. You sort of notice right away that this place is set up for living comfortably every day, not just for show. Sunlight just spills across the living room floor, and honestly the whole space feels warmer and more inviting because of it. If you wander through to the dining area, you get a good view into the L shaped back garden. Even if nobody is home, you can almost imagine someone finishing breakfast while watching the leaves move outside or listening to birds in the morning. Sometimes in villas you get so much empty space it stops feeling cozy but here it's open yet still feels welcoming.

Now the kitchen is proper closed so you won't get cooking smells drifting all over, which some people really appreciate. There's actually a nice little corner to eat or chat over coffee. The kitchen itself feels like a place where you'd really cook meals and laugh with friends, not just heat up takeaway. I liked that the laundry area and extra storage are close by so you can keep things tidy pretty easily. It just feels practical. Downstairs there's that handy WC for guests and a proper maid's room outside which lots of families find makes life run smoother day to day.

Upstairs has a slightly different energy. Walking up, I noticed it gets even quieter, probably because the windows aren't facing directly onto any roads. You have two good sized bedrooms here with built in wardrobes that actually give you enough space for real wardrobes and not just a couple shirts. Those two rooms share a modern bathroom, and I peeked inside and it feels fresh, nothing tired or old about it.

There's also a decent sized study upstairs. It has built in shelving and some bright natural light. I could see someone turning it into a fourth bedroom if they needed, or it'd make a nice office for working from home without being under everyone's feet. The private balcony off the study has this peaceful vibe. I stood there for a bit and you really don't hear much, even in the afternoon. Sometimes you spot a neighbor walking their dog or see kids heading back from the pool. The master bedroom is actually the best part for me. Walk in wardrobe, loads of space, and it even has a comfy lounge area attached. You can practically forget you're at home and imagine it's your own hotel suite on a lazy Friday morning. The en suite here just feels like somewhere you'd actually want to wake up in.

Location makes everything simple. This villa is right across from both the pool and the park, so you're never far from a morning swim or a quick playtime with the kids. On weekends, you see families heading to the Lakes Club which is just a short walk along tree lined paths. There's community tennis and even the little coffee shop crowd—everyone just kind of melts into the day. Sometimes you'll run into neighbors at the grocery or see friends jogging by the water. It all feels lived in and relaxed. You can be home in time for dinner after work, or wander out on a bike ride in the evenings without it feeling like a chore.

The plot itself is generous without being fussy. There's enough outside space for a barbecue or a couple of loungers plus a shaded play spot for little ones if you need it. For anyone who wants hassle free living but still plenty of room, this spot really works.

And honestly, sometimes when you're in these homes at The Lakes, you almost forget about your phone. It just feels easy. If you want to see if this villa might fit your own flow, I always say just come take a look. Sometimes walking through is the only way to know if it feels right.
