Apartment for rent in Hamra

Description

Cedar Keys Estates presents a 165 square metre apartment for rent in Hamra, central Beirut. Its distinguishing feature is the bedroom layout: all three bedrooms are masters, each with its own bathroom, five bathrooms in total including the maid's. There is a separate salon and dining area, a kitchen, a maid's room with its own bathroom, and a balcony with an open view across the city to the Mediterranean. The reception is glazed floor to ceiling, which is where most of the apartment's light and all of its view come from. Built-in wardrobes are fitted in the bedrooms, split air-conditioning units are installed, and the flooring is marble throughout. Two designated parking spaces come with the apartment, and the building has a fire exit. The apartment is unfurnished and is let as it stands.

Hamra remains the one Beirut neighbourhood where a tenant can live without a car and still reach a university, a teaching hospital, a working retail street and the seafront on foot. What the neighbourhood does not supply easily is this plan. Most of Hamra's large apartments date from the 1970s and follow the convention of the period — one master with an en-suite, the remaining bedrooms sharing a family bathroom off the corridor. That is a layout built for a family with young children, and it stops working the moment the children are not young. Three full masters is a different proposition, and it is rare enough in the area's stock to be the reason this apartment is priced where it is. Two parking spaces compound it: Hamra is structurally short of parking, and a second space is worth real money to a two-car household.

Tenant profile: families of adults or near-adults; shared professional households of the kind Hamra's embassies, universities and hospitals generate; and relocating staff who need to be inside the neighbourhood rather than driving into it each morning.

Rent $2,500 per month, plus one month's rent as commission. Ref 1196.
