The villa, near Mirdif City Centre Mall, is a short distance from the main roads and amenities.
The family is emotionally attached to the house as their two children grew up in the villa. The children are now abroad but the couple's empty nest holds many fond memories.
The spacious living room has a brown colour scheme and is the couple's favourite space in which to hang out.
The villa has three spacious bedrooms, all on the first floor.
The biggest plus point of living in an old villa is the plentiful space available.
The villa's spacious kitchen.
The villa is filled with the couple's decorations and ornaments.
The villa has a spacious garden and backyard where the couple love to host their friends.
Midrif Grand Mosque and many other facilities are nearby.
