The semi-furnished Arabesque home boasts large windows, marble floors, high ceilings and solid wooden doors and railings.
The ground floor features a guest room otherwise known as a majlis, family room, dining room, guest bathroom and fully fitted kitchen and utility room.
The family room and majlis are laid out with solid wood flooring while the rest of the ground floor is covered in marble.
The kitchen includes state-of-the-art appliances such as a fitted fridge and deep freezer. The kitchen also boasts a cosy breakfast nook with a solid wooden ceiling perfect for those family breakfasts and brunches.
The utility room includes a washing machine and dryer from Bosch and a pop-out ironing board.

The five by five metres master bedroom features a dressing area and an en suite bathroom. The en suite bathroom boasts a Jacuzzi and a walk-in triple-headed shower able to create a spa-like feel. The children's room is actually connected by the fitted wardrobe and the en suite bathroom, while the other bedroom has its own en suite bathroom.
The villa includes a multi-zone central air-conditioning system. So, if one air-conditioner fails the others are still up and running. The kids have their own zone as well so that they are able to control the temperature in their rooms.
There is another room available on the roof-top which includes air conditioning as well.
The home also features a two-car garage, a driver/maid's quarters and a modern outside kitchen area.
The landlord has quite an optimistic view of the villa and has expressed his appreciation to its fine details. He said: "I believe that the tenants will really like living here as I designed the home myself. I had intentions of keeping it and wanted only the best for my family so all the fittings and finishings in the house are of a high-standard and of good quality.
"The windows for example are double-glazed with Low-E (low emissivity) coating which reduces the heat intake within the home by about 15 per cent. You can actually stand near the windows and you won't feel warm."
