\nThere aren’t many homes on sale within the Emirates Hills community for under Dh7.5 million, and fewer still that are as attractive as this recently-upgraded three-bedroom town house on the doorstep of the district’s Colin Montgomerie-designed golf course.This is the first town house in Dubai to benefit from the attentions of Rick Guy \u2014 an Englishman who has been spending the past couple of years redeveloping apartments in The Old Town community within the Downtown Dubai district.Mr Guy has bought and converted three Old Town apartments to date, starting with a two-bed and later two four-bed properties. He chose the Old Town, he said, because apartments are in a great location and the buildings remain in good condition, but the interiors started to look dated, with many of the Arabic-themed units containing lots of dark wood and enclosed kitchens. His recipe for transforming them has been based around opening them out and brightening them up. Kitchens have been knocked through to create more spacious, open-plan kitchen and dining areas, walls are painted white, or similarly bright shades, and lots of mirrors are used.”I always try to do two things. Firstly \u2014 lighten the property. Secondly,\u00a0I try to modernise them to add a more\u00a0European style of finish,” said Mr Guy.The same formula is being applied to 17 Montgomerie Maisonettes, the first property he is converting within Emirates Hills. This is a three-bed town house, which has two bedrooms and a shared bathroom at the entrance and a large, under stairs storage area. There is a split staircase leading to a redeveloped open plan kitchen, living a sitting area fitted with new appliances and a marble back splash.Externally, two doors lead out to a pool, surrounded by a large, terraced seating area. A third level also provides access to a terrace that overlooks the golf course and the city’s skyline beyond. Mr Guy said that bespoke joinery has been used for kitchens, TV consoles doors and cupboards. Furnishings, including sofas, curtains and even pillows have also been styled to suit this home. So, although there were only 25 of the Montgomerie town houses within Emirates Hills to begin with, he argues that his redevelopment makes it truly unique.”The town house gives you the best postal address in Dubai, Emirates Hills, without the price\u00a0tag,” he said. Q&A: All about the greenLisa Murphy, luxury sales specialist, LuxhabitatWho would live in a property like this?It would suit almost anyone \u2014\u00a0executives, couples, or families with young children\u00a0who wish to live close to the city while enjoying the lush, green surroundings that Emirates Hills offers. It has been completely upgraded, styled internally and externally to suit modern living. The outdoor swimming pool with walk down steps and a stunning third floor terrace area, which could accommodate a Jacuzzi and large, lazy-style cabana couches, offer amazing views of the city skyline.\u00a0How have other Montgomeriey town houses performed in terms of sales, and what is different about this particular unit?So far this year there have been at least three town houses sold, with another under offer. One side offers full golf course views, while the other side offers partial golf and city skyline views. The quality of the finishing, furniture and the south-west facing garden are all huge selling points.What can you tell me about the surrounding area?\u00a0Emirates Hills is one of the most prestigious areas in Dubai, and to live on the grounds of such a complex appeals to almost all buyers in the market. The town houses are beside The Address Montgomerie Hotel, with steps leading directly to the hotel door. You also have access to the golf course and driving range. With only a few town houses along this two-sided street, there is a lovely, community feel. Within a few minutes’ drive, you have The Meadows shopping centre, schools, dining outlets and easy access to Sheikh Zayed Road. mfahy@thenational.aeFollow The National’s Business section on Twitter”This is one of the finest moments of my golf career, no hang on, this is the greatest moment of my golf career.” -Colin Montgomerie, after winning the 2010 Ryder CupTop 5 features that home buyers want1\/ Man caves and smart homes2\/Vast closets3\/Home offices4\/Hardwood floors5\/Urban homes with amenitiesSource: Zillow
