THIS four-bedroom, two-storey house in Hlaing township is sure to catch the eye of passersby with its crisp white colour, Greek pillars, landscaped front garden and imposing iron gate.

The house sits within an 8400-square-foot compound, which is close to the Baho and Bayintnaung road intersection, and transport to Yangon’s downtown area takes about 30 minutes.

A driveway runs along the property’s left side to one undercover parking spot beneath the house and another under the oversized and faintly ridiculous portico.

Inside the house a living room is located to the right of the main entrance and features a decorative teak ceiling. Alongside the living room is a dining room and kitchen, which has wall cupboards, drawers, work benches and a basin.

Next to the kitchen is a laundry and bathroom, which is intended for use by domestic helpers, whose quarters are located above the garage at the left side of the house and are attached to the laundry by a small flight of stairs.

Also downstairs is a guest room with ensuite bathroom near the curving and decorated teak staircase that leads to the upper floor.

The staircase is illuminated by a panel of smoky glass windows that allow light in but do not let inquisitive eyes see what is going on inside the house.

At the top of the stairs at the front of the house is a family room that looks out over the front lawn and the road beyond.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a master bedroom – all equipped with ensuite bathrooms and individual balconies.

There is also a shrine room at the front-left corner, and a slightly raised workout or study area at the back-left corner.

Three air conditioners and a phone line are included in the sale.
