One of the most exciting pieces of real estate in Bahrain is undoubtedly Seef district. The up-market area was developed as a result of massive land reclamation in Bahrain which extended its coastline.
Seef is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has many luxury apartments, five star hotels and not to mention the island's largest and most popular shopping mall to date, Seef Mall.
Seef Mall provides an alluring combination of a huge variety of international retail brands, fast food outlets, cinemas, theme cafes, restaurants and entertainment options.
The area is also close to the Bahrain Mall, another large shopping outlet, which houses the GŽant Hypermarket - an important shopping centre for people in Bahrain.
The district is all the more prominent due to its rapid development as Bahrain's business hub with many national as well as multinational companies opening branches in the area.
Expatriates and locals alike are flocking to the area in search of office space and residences, which makes this property even more appealing as it has the option to being both.
The spacious three-storey villa has combined classical Greek and Roman architecture with renaissance ideas to create a beaux arts design. This design was a favoured style for grand public buildings and opulent mansions.
The villa is filled with large arches, a grand stairway and a number of terraces spilling out from the bedrooms.
Although gated and secure, homeowners will still feel as if they are part of the quiet community.
The home also boasts a beautiful garden and a double car garage, not to mention an outside kitchen for family barbecues.
All amenities blend in well with the architectural design. There is also a maid's quarter and laundry room outside.
The ground floor features a large reception, dining room and a family room with enough space under the spiral staircase for a book case.
The guest bedroom is also on the ground floor as well as a guest bathroom and a trendy kitchen with a retro feel. Hanging chandeliers decorate the house as well as fine renaissance finishes throughout.
Another family room can be found on the second floor along with four sizeable bedrooms. The master bedroom is the largest in size and is the only room that features a dressing area and en suite bathroom with tub. The other bedrooms come with two separate bathrooms.
As for the facilities throughout the villa, each floor is equipped with an intercom and there is split airconditioning in every room.
There are two tiny terraces with a front view, one of which is attached to the master bedroom. The third terrace can be found on the side of the house which can be accessed from a hidden door while walking up the staircase.
Although this villa will make an ideal family home, with the demand for office space it can easily be transformed into a company's headquarters. The possibilities are endless and the location is definitely a plus.
