3 bedroom penthouse in The Torch, Dubai Marina

Some places just let you slow down for a second. This three bedroom penthouse in The Torch, Dubai Marina, really does that the moment you walk in. I took a beat next to the big windows and just looked out at the marina. You really do see everything from up here. On a clear afternoon you can spot the boats gliding by. It almost feels like the city is working around you but none of the noise makes it up this high.

This space is a duplex. You feel it as soon as you see the ceilings in the living room. They just keep going up and up. Light pours in from the floor to ceiling glass and you end up just standing there for a bit letting your shoulders drop. There is a long balcony too. I caught myself hanging out there longer than usual. Even in the late evenings, when the sun is just dipping behind the towers of Emirates Hills, the whole place gets a warm kind of glow. You really do get the full marina views here. And honestly, they are different every day.

The kitchen is modern, I mean actually modern. Not just all show. Full appliances tucked away but still easy to use. You can tell someone could actually cook here. There is this second service kitchen upstairs too if you are having people over and want to keep things tucked away. The kitchen flows right into the living and dining area, so conversations just sort of keep going whether someone is making coffee or just relaxing on the sofa.

I noticed even the hallways upstairs feel wide. Not tight like some places. You wind up with space to leave a bike or maybe just a big plant. Each bedroom is its own thing, not just a copy paste of the next. Real closets too. The kind you do not have to squeeze things into. Waking up to views of JLT or Emirates Hills might just make you a morning person. There is also a room for a maid but sometimes people use it as a study or an extra spot to work from home. Choice is yours.

The Torch itself is just a landmark in Dubai Marina. The lobby feels like a proper entrance. Residents come and go with grocery bags and the concierge gets used to familiar faces. It is the kind of place some people have stayed in for years. The tower was completed in 2011 so there is a settled feeling here. It holds 504 suites in total but honestly it never feels crowded. The lifts are quick. Security gives you a nod. Most evenings you see people walking their dogs or heading out to grab a coffee. Everything you need is within reach.

If you need to get anywhere fast, the location makes that easy. Metro is close, taxis swing by often, and the roads out to Sheikh Zayed Road are never far. Even walking along the marina walk is quick. Sometimes you spot families out biking or kids learning to ride scooters as it cools down at dusk.

One thing I always look for: is there real storage? Here, yes. Enough space for suitcases and even the golf clubs you keep promising to use more.

Look, this place is not about glitz for the sake of it. It just feels comfortable and easy. A spot where everything works but nothing is forced. Sometimes you will catch yourself forgetting your phone in the other room. You really do just settle in.

The only way to know if it fits your life is to come by and see it for yourself. If you have questions or want to have a look around, reach out anytime. At LuxuryProperty dot com, we want your next move to be as easy as it should be.
