There are 3 bedrooms and a family area on the upper floor, while another bedroom is on the ground floor. There are also 2 storage rooms to ensure uncluttered order within the homes. The Rafia Villa units are sizeable 3-storey semi-detached villas, each built over expansive 40’ x 90’ individual plots of land. The master bedroom along with another bedroom sit perched on the top floor, where each has its own ensuite bathroom. The second floor houses a junior master bedroom, as well as 2 bedrooms, all also with their own bathrooms, along with and a study (or family area). There is a guest room on the ground floor, which is considerably thoughtful for elders in the family, while a utility room can also act as a maid’s room. What’s most impressive with the Rafia Villa homes are the double height ceiling in the dining room, which makes for an air of grandness. The Rafia 2 Villa also shares the same feature of having double-volume ceiling at the dining room, though it is only 2 storeys, compared to the Rafia Villa.
