Ready-for-rent villa in Mayangone township
(Volume 26, No. 509)
MAKE no mistake – this is a big house. The compound is about 10,000 square feet and the two-storey house has about 5000 square feet as well. And it’s just as well that there’s so much space because it’s a long way from downtown, at Thanlawaddy Street, off Pyay Road, in Mayangone township. It’s also costly as US$1200 a month to rent. As such it’s probably best suited as a business headquarters, and in some ways it is well suited to that purpose. There certainly is plenty of room to park vehicles on the concreted front yard.
The façade is cream coloured paint, with darkly stained teak window frames downstairs, white frames on the upper level, and a selection of candle-like pillars to keep up appearances. There’s also a two-car garage.
Inside there are four bedrooms: One master, one double and two singles; all have ensuite bathrooms that come with bathtubs.
The interior space is dominated by large archways separating the rooms and an abundance of glossy wood. On the lower level there’s a kitchen, dining room, living room, a bathroom and the double bedroom, with an ensuite maid’s quarters alongside the house.
On the upper level there’s an extensive shrine room, the master bedroom and two singles. The house is 10 years old but remains in good condition, and is ready to live in. It is fully furnished and comes with six air-conditioners, one telephone line and government water.
