LUXURY HOUSE, FOR RENT/LEASE COLOMBO 8


226 Lake Drive has been designed in the style of a “Modern Tropical” house that perfectly blends the outdoors with the interior spaces.
An entertainer’s delight, with ample space both inside and outside for entertaining as well as for family living.
Some of the impressive features of the house are:

1. It’s Location

Whilst still being in the city of Colombo, it is also removed from the noise and pollution and gives the feeling of being out of Colombo, as it is such a quiet and tranquil location. Yet Lake Drive, Colombo 8 is only a kilometre down the road from Colombo 7, next to the Royal Colombo Golf course and ideally located between downtown and the Overseas School.

2. The Reserve/Golf Course

The house borders a natural vegetation reserve right adjacent to the property which is a part of the golf course. There are direct views of the golf course from the house, a unique feature for a house in Colombo.

3. The Pool

Although the pool serves as an aesthetic feature to the house, it was also designed with the practical purpose of being a proper lap/swimming pool. The pool also has a spa seating area with spa jets adjacent to the steps.

4. Entertainment

This house was designed in such a way that it would be ideally set up for entertaining. Features like the side access gate which would allow caterers easy access, or to bring in and assemble a marquis tent for parties, the extensive timber deck, etc. The way it is set up is practical and lends itself very well for entertaining both on a small and large scale.

5. Features

A lot of features add value and some point of difference like the pond, the water feature, the floating staircase, the waterfall chandelier, the high ceilings with large wooden fans, the hydro shower (master bathroom), the extensive glass that brings the outside in, the lighting, the powder room with a view, the separate private staircase, the landscaping and natural vegetation, etc.


6. Interior

Note the house comes unfurnished.

The house is set up in such a way (neutral) that it lends itself to personalizing and creating the kind of interior style and look that suits the occupiers, and adds their personal touch, incorporating their furniture, art, rugs, objets d’art, etc.

7. Family Living

With 5 ensuited bedrooms, a family size kitchen with breakfast island, a separate staff kitchen, private family dining area, a second stairway for staff, the house is ideally set up for family living with the right combination of privacy and spaces for all.
