LOCATED in the heart of Mandalay City, The Myanmar Times House of the Week is a large and elegant two-storey home built in the tradition that suggests an imposing home must have a great owner.

Eight double-storey columns support a deep portico with its own chandelier and a balcony beneath it, set over the heavy, wooden front doors. An equally tall mirror-glass window beside the main entrance towers up to the roof of the house.

Inside, six bedrooms – two master and one single on each floor – ensure there is plenty of space for all.

Next to a huge spiral staircase with wooden beams and large railing is access to the home’s double garage, where servant’s quarters are also available.
A spacious kitchen can double as a dining room.

On the second floor, a large chandelier hangs in the living room, which has access to the balcony above the front door.

A master bedroom on the other side of the stairway also has its own balcony. All en suites have hot water showers.

Water should not be a problem here as there is a well and a steel storage tank to the left of the house.

There is teak parquet flooring throughout.

Extensive use of mirror-glass in the house’s plentiful windows mean tenants can enjoy great views without compromising their privacy.

The garden consists primarily of a lawn in front of the house, and there is little room around the sides of the building.

The house is painted a creamy colour with a hint of pink, and has an eye-catching, sea-blue roof.
