THIS four-bedroom, one-storey house in the Pale Myothit wins points for quality but loses out on location – it’s an hour’s drive from downtown.

It sits in the quiet area between Mingalardon Garden City and the Pyinmapin Industrial Zone. The trapezium-shaped compound, which isn’t far from the busy No 3 Road, measures nearly 1 acre and has an iron fence topped with razor wire.

The large compound provides plenty of room for greenery, with a lawn, a small water feature and plenty of tropical trees all in evidence.

Behind the house there’s a one-car garage and a separate detached granny flat or office depending on taste to the right of the compound.

Inside, there’s a huge living room with teak-parquet flooring and extravagant lighting that features something close to a chandelier and a number of downlights. There’s a slightly raised front room that faces the luscious lawn and a wall of windows that allows in plenty of light but could be problematic in hot season.

At the front left corner there’s also a small shrine room.

The master bedroom is decked: It comes with a powerful air-conditioner and luxurious bathroom complete with bathtub and hot water system. Oh, and there’s even an attached dressing room too.

The other three bedrooms are all spacious but have concrete floors and sky-blue walls in need of a new paint job.

Both the dining room and kitchen are tile-friendly lands. And the dining room adds an interesting touch – an enormous mirror mounted on the wall directly alongside the table, which only increases the number of tiles in view.

Alongside the bathroom there’s steps leading up onto the roof of the house where there’s space to dry clothes in sunny weather.

Four airconditioners, two electricity meters and a tube-well water supply are included in the three-year-old house, which comes with a 60-year lease.
