5 Bedroom Villa in Fire, Jumeirah Golf Estates

Some homes just put you at ease as soon as you step over the threshold. This five bedroom villa in Fire, Jumeirah Golf Estates, does that without even trying. When I first walked in, I remember standing for a moment in the entrance hall just letting the quiet settle over me. Sometimes in these big places you expect echoes, but here it just felt comfortable. The views across the lake and the rolling green of the 14th hole really are something you'll look at every single day, even if you think you might get used to it, you don't.

The house itself spreads out over three proper floors so there is space for everyone and everything. You get this grand stairway that sweeps up in a really gentle curve and something about it makes you want to take your time, just drifting up or down rather than rushing. To your right is a relaxed kind of sitting area, nothing formal or stiff. It looks out across the front, and I could imagine a quiet coffee there in the morning or a lazy read on a rainy afternoon, if we ever get one. To your left is the main kitchen and let me just say, it is actually set up for cooking, not just for show. Proper Miele appliances, a big central island where you'll probably end up putting your groceries for the week or laying out snacks when friends drop by. That oak toned cabinetry feels expensive without being flashy and the marble countertops are cool if you like to bake. There is even an extra pantry kitchen tucked off to one side and they've fitted it up just as nicely, so nothing feels like an afterthought.

Walk through from there and you hit the living and dining areas. These spaces totally open up thanks to big sliding patio doors that lead straight out to the garden. Even on a warm day it feels breezy, with sunlight pouring in. I actually caught myself watching the light play on the pool tiles for a bit. That pool is a good size, by the way, easy for kids or laps or just floating around after sunset. The terrace wraps around with plenty of room for an outdoor dinner or just a quiet evening drink as you watch the last golfers heading home.

On the ground floor you've got a guest bedroom with its own bathroom, pretty handy for family visiting or a friend who likes to stay a bit longer. There is also a maid's room tucked away, plus a powder room for guests and a real entryway that gives you space when you arrive with arms full of shopping.

Upstairs, you get four more bedrooms and every single one has its own bathroom so no morning queues, honestly that is rare. Two of the bedrooms have big walk in dressing rooms, which makes it feel a bit like a hotel when you start hanging up clothes. The master suite is huge, honestly, and it has a balcony that sweeps right across the whole back of the house. I stood out there one afternoon and just watched a bit of golf with the lake shimmering below, totally peaceful. There is another balcony too if you need some space for a quiet phone call or just want to catch the evening air.

Now the basement is interesting, because lots of people forget about it, but down there is the perfect spot for a games room or a place for kids to spread out with toys. I even thought about setting it up as a mini cinema, it is that versatile.

Living here in Jumeirah Golf Estates, you also get access to the clubhouse. Three swimming pools, proper gym, and a few different places to eat including a really good French Mediterranean spot, a sports bar that does excellent coffee, and a cafe where you'll find people working on laptops in the afternoons. Sometimes you even see families heading there after school just to unwind.

This villa covers just over eight thousand square feet built up and the plot is a touch over nine thousand, so there is plenty of elbow room, inside and out. If you ever wanted to walk out your door and feel like you've found your own spot in Dubai, it sort of does that.

Anyway, I could go on, but the only real way to know if it feels right is to come and see it for yourself. If you have any questions or you are just curious to walk through, reach out any time. At LuxuryProperty.com we just want your next move to feel comfortable, like you are coming home.
