2 Bedroom Apartment in Signature Livings, Jumeirah Village Circle

Some places just feel different when you open the door. This two bedroom penthouse in Signature Livings at Jumeirah Village Circle does exactly that. I remember standing in the living room and just taking a breath because everything felt calm right away. There is a sort of quiet but fresh energy here that you might notice even before the sun comes through those tall windows.

So first thing you see is the light. And there is a lot of it. The penthouse faces the right direction which means you get sunlight every part of the day. Sometimes in the morning it just floods in and almost feels like a gentle alarm clock. The full windows actually wrap around the main living space and it is never just about the views even though you can look right out over the courtyard and the Village Park. It is the warmth and how, honestly, you do not really need all the lights on most days. Those are energy saving anyway. The whole place is thought out for sustainability so even when the AC is running and the LED lights are on, things just feel natural and not wasteful.

You always hear about open plan living but here it is actually comfortable, not just big for the sake of it. The dining area and living room blend right together so when friends come over or you have family in town, everyone is together in the same space and no one gets left in the kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, it is not just fancy looking. The counters are tough stone and those appliances really are tucked away smartly so the space stays clutter free. If you like cooking or just making coffee in the morning, it is easy. You do not end up bumping elbows or looking for a power outlet behind a cupboard. It just works.

The bedrooms both feel private. There are built in wardrobes so you will not have to argue over closet space. The flooring in the bedrooms is something I actually noticed because it is this soft Swiss hardwood that feels good on your feet when you first get up. The master suite has its own little work nook so you can catch up on emails or write without taking over the dining table. The bathrooms are really well done too. If you care about details, you will notice the high end German fixtures and that the finishes are not just for show. Even the wall paint feels a bit different knowing it is all eco friendly.

It is easy to imagine eating outside once the weather cools off. This wide terrace runs along the whole apartment and I must have stood out there for a bit just watching the view. You can hear the birds in the morning and see people walking or sometimes kids playing football in the park. In the evenings, you might actually want to keep your phone inside and just sit with a tea.

Living at Signature Livings puts you in a really friendly spot. There is a swimming pool that is almost always sparkling since it gets the right amount of sun. The gym is proper, not just a small room. If you play squash or you just want to have a bit of fun, those courts are right downstairs. There is even a barbecue area and well kept gardens where you see neighbors out on weekends. Maybe you have kids or you just want a bit more green near the city — the children's areas really do get used and you always see someone around. It is a real community, not just another tall building.

You are never far from Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina either. I timed it and honestly, both are just a quick drive. The Village Circle is pretty calm during the week but the best thing is you can always join in on the city buzz when you want, then come back home to quiet.

I guess what stands out about this penthouse is that it manages to be luxurious without being stuffy. There is all the smart tech and eco features but it feels like a home you can actually live in day to day. It is easy to see yourself staying a long time.

If you are curious about how it feels in person, the only way to know is to come see it. If you want to talk it over or just walk around this apartment with someone who knows the place, just give a shout any time. At LuxuryProperty.com, we are always happy to make things easy and real.
