5 bedroom penthouse in Murjan, Jumeirah Beach Residence

Some homes just have this way of making you stand still for a moment and breathe differently. That is exactly what happened to me when I walked into this five bedroom penthouse at Murjan in Jumeirah Beach Residence. It is right at the top of Murjan 5 and honestly feels like you are in your own world above the city and the sea. There is that quiet hush in the entry foyer when you step off the private elevator. You almost hear the ocean even when the doors are closed.

The space is big. You will really sense it when you move from any one of the bedrooms out to the living room. There is this huge modern kitchen at the centre. It is not just a show kitchen with a few fancy things on the counter either. The quartz worktops feel cool under your hands and the bespoke cabinets are built so solid you hardly notice them unless you look properly. There is a fridge built in neatly, and every appliance feels strong but simple to use. I could honestly see someone cooking a real dinner here and even making some mess if they wanted. Clean up is not stressful either since you have a separate wash up area that just keeps the kitchen tidy when friends come over.

That dining space is easy for ten people to eat together, but to me it does not feel formal or stiff. You can picture a loud breakfast or a late dinner with the balcony doors open and you will realize the sea breeze actually does reach right through the apartment.

The living room is one of those rooms that really draws everyone in, probably because of the big comfy sofas set around the latest entertainment system. It just makes watching anything a bit more fun. Plus all the smart TVs connect easily to whichever streaming service you are on, with really smooth WiFi so you never get that buffering struggle.

When you want quiet, the bedrooms actually give you that break. Four of them have these super soft king beds and what I liked is every bit of the en suite bathrooms feels polished but relaxed. Rain showers, marble touches, designer taps set a proper hotel mood but it never feels cold here. The fifth bedroom is twin beds so kids or extra friends can spread out and not bother anyone. Every bedroom just gets its own mood with good lighting and soft carpets, so you wake up feeling rested and it is easy to keep things tidy thanks to built in wardrobes that are far more spacious than you would expect.

Now the terrace is honestly my favourite bit of all. You walk out from the living area and it feels like you have this hidden rooftop. There is a plunge pool that actually invites you to kick off your shoes and jump in. The loungers are shaded enough to read in the afternoon and you get these pockets of afternoon light that look like something out of a movie. Sometimes you will see someone out on a yacht floating by or just catch the scent from a barbecue somewhere along the shore. When the sun dips you get those deep oranges and pinks over the water and the terrace just glows with careful little lanterns and lights.

There is a maid's room that keeps things working behind the scenes without ever interrupting. Utilities are covered which keeps paperwork simple and yes you get covered parking with direct building access. Security is on round the clock but honestly it just feels non fussy and safe. There are wheelchair friendly corridors everywhere which is reassuring. Lifts are fast and you do not have to wait long.

The location in Jumeirah Beach Residence just means you can wander down for a coffee at any hour or go walk along the promenade by the shops. The Marina Mall, Pier 7, and the buzzing boardwalk are only a few minutes away on foot. Sometimes in the cooler nights you will see families walking kids and people jogging with their dogs. It feels like a real lived in neighbourhood not just a resort spot.

If you want something unfurnished that gives you the space and privacy to really settle in, this penthouse is ready right now. It is available for rent at 680000 a year and all you really need are your own touches to make it your kind of home.
