Property of the week: Dh4 million Parisian palace found in the heart of Dubai

There is absolutely no doubt that the UAE is home to some people spectacular properties. From penthouse apartments to plush villas with sprawling gardens and incredible pools, it’s a real estate haven.

Each week, The National showcases among the best homes available in its Property of the Week. This week, we check out a custom-built Parisian-style house in Dubai.

An extremely unusual find - a completely renovated three-bedroom property, decorated in 19th-century Parisian design. The villa is defined across 388 square metres, on a plot of nearly 929 square metres, situated in the Green Network West, in the outskirts of the location in Dubai Investment Park (DIP).

To say this is a charming real estate is an understatement. Prospective buyers will become transported to 19th-century Paris, with backdrops befitting the Renaissance at every move.

New to the marketplace, this striking Green Community villa is unlike any you will discover elsewhere found in the UAE. For anyone who was recently swept apart by the charm of Netflix series Bridgerton, this may well be the house for you.

Prospective lords and females of the manor will be delighted to learn that the faux-chateau has been decorated with artwork, fabrics and wallpapers sourced directly from Europe, predominantly from France.

From the floors to ceilings, the whole residence has been renovated, with period features as real as you can be prepared to discover in the desert. Gold, marble, wood and limestone have already been employed throughout, with furnishings befitting a bygone era - believe imposing and ornate wardrobes, large wooden tables and clawfoot bathtubs.

The master suite (never has the term felt more apt) comes filled with a grand dressing room and shoe racks concealed inside slide-out wall panels. The bed room itself includes a exclusively curated 20th-century art collection.

Anyone hoping to get shed in a garden maze may recreate the magic along the property's boundary walls, which have been draped in artificial greenery to evoke the appearance of a normal European garden.

You are unlikely to discover a property like this somewhere else in Dubai. There will be villas in a few high-end neighbourhoods that tend to favour a classically influenced aesthetic, but little or nothing that recreates a historic period with this authentic attention to aspect, from the stone and metal function down to the type of wallpaper used.

The work on the house was performed by Elenora HOME DESIGN Works, a boutique design studio that also deals in high class furniture and antiques. They offer complete design alternatives for any home, including art pieces, including the impressive collection curated specially for this villa.

The inspiration for the design was extracted from mansions and chateaux of Paris in the mid-19th century.

At this price point, this might you need to be one of the absolute best villas that you can get. I am hard-pressed to get any home in an identical range that has had this degree of work put into it.

Green Community is a good family-oriented neighbourhood with a good give attention to parks and green spaces. The region has cobblestone roads, gives it a very unique attraction. Prices are relatively low compared to different established communities when it comes to the quality you get, that makes it an excellent option for end users. There is high local rental demand here and, due to the low pricing, investors reap the benefits of high local rental yields. The mix of houses, flats, villas and townhouses draws in a diverse client base, which increases its investment potential.

This property has been in the marketplace for three weeks.
