Just above Givat Aliya Beach in Jaffa's coveted Ajami neighborhood an intimate housing complex is currently under construction, "Villa Rose", which was designed especially with people who have been dreaming about a change in their lifestyle in mind, those who want to live in Tel Aviv but not in a loud, busy multistory building, who want to enjoy all the benefits that come with living in a big city yet want to enjoy a village-like atmosphere.
What is "Villa Rose"?
In Jaffa, neighboring the green Toulouse Garden Park, lies a spacious private boutique housing complex featuring an impressive facade, with a high building standard and individual architectural design by renowned Israeli architect, Ilan Pivko.
Pivko, who is known for his unique and unusual style, has designed another of his private and quiet buildings here that harmonizes with the ambience of Jaffa, which lies on the shores of the Mediterranean. The restricted height of the building, the terraced balconies and the sprawling courtyard create a structure that blends naturally with authentic Jaffa.
The project offers 16 apartments that enjoy the soft sunlight that extend only over three floors. Each apartment has a balcony and/ or a large yard with an open view.
The building has a stylish ornate lobby and the apartments are equipped to the highest standards: upscale kitchens, central air conditioning, high quality wooden shutters and premium sanitary ware.
The apartments offer luxury and exclusivity through their indulging private design and architecture of the highest level. It should be noted that as of this point in time, Villa Rose is to be built on one of the last pieces of available land in the Ajami neighborhood.
You aren't like the rest
"Villa Rose" - the name Villa Rose was chosen for this specific project to emphasize the uniqueness of the building, the charm and intimacy, in contrast to the luxury high-rises which are frequently being built in the city.
As opposed to the crowded luxury towers there are those who seek a different lifestyle. There are those who want to live in a more intimate project, more social, where you can go for a swim in the sea with your neighbor, a luxurious environment which is not terribly expensive, and where you still enjoy the benefits of the vibrant city.
"Villa Rose" offers an alternative for unusual people, individualists, who want to feel part of the city yet are also looking for a peaceful, unique, different and interesting living environment, surrounded by the blue sea and the colorful alleys of Ajami.
Only 16 apartments, spread out over 3 floors, 3-4 room apartments, garden apartments and penthouses, prices start at NIS 5,300,000. The Villa Rose project is a unique alternative to the phenomenon of high-rise towers, and it fits in perfectly with its surroundings.
"Villa Rose's" perfect location
The prestigious project dovetails the dreams of living in Tel Aviv, on the beach, close to all the cultural and entertainment centers of the big city, but with a rustic charm.
The project is located only a two minute walk from Givat Aliyah beach, which was declared a blue flag beach this summer, in addition, its proximity to the Ayalon Highway and the nearby Wolfson Interchange allows for a quick exit from the city. But you will find the real magic close to home; the green Jaffa Slope Park on the one side, the colorful and vibrant Flea Market that offers a variety of bars and restaurants on the other, and of course, Jaffa's colorful streets full of authentic scents and sounds, all this within a short distance of the beating heart of the vibrant big city.
You can take a bike ride on the promenade, you can go down to the beach and you can relax on the sunny terrace of the apartment, overlooking the sea. Whatever you decide, you will always feel like you are living in a dream.
We asked Nimrod Perry of Jaffa Real-Estate who is marketing the Villa Rose project, and who is a resident of the neighborhood himself, about the advantages of living in Villa Rose.
What, to you, is the essence of the advantages of "Villa Rose"?
"The proximity of the project to the beach combined with the authentic atmosphere of Jaffa, the fascinating human mosaic and of course the luxury and comfort of the project itself.
The advantage of Villa Rose lies first in its attractive location, which gives off the feeling of living in a village together with the comforts of urban living. Another striking advantage of the project is Ilan Pivko's well thought out design, which took every last detail into consideration and made sure to adapt them to the needs of the residents of the project".
What changes have occurred in your life following your move from the heart of the big city to Jaffa?
"The main thing that changed in my life after I moved to the neighborhood was that I have found peace and quiet which now take a prominent place in my life. The calmness has managed to take over and is an alternative to the noise of the city. Another fundamental change is cycling along the beach, which allows me to get to anywhere I want to be in a matter of minutes. The pleasant breeze and the sound of the breaking waves are a bonus".
What is special about the "Villa Rose" project compared to the other projects in the city?
"The difference between Villa Rose and the other projects in Tel Aviv, first of all is the community of the project; there is a connection between the people, a connection to the place and of course a connection to the sea. The projects in Tel Aviv convey social alienation and loneliness compared to "Villa Rose", which conveys sharing and connecting. A few neighbors, luxury, peace and the sea. What more do you need?"
Luxury by any standard!
According to Perry, "the collaboration between the projects developer, D&A, and the renowned architect, Ilan Pivko, guarantees a uniquely designed, high quality complex, and of course, equipped apartments and public spaces of the highest standards.
From the moment you step into the building and you encounter the impressive, electronically opened solid wood door you will begin to sense the luxurious atmosphere, the unique and prestigious spacious lobby with its colorful plaster walls, combined with elements of wood and metal and of course the two especially designed elevators which go directly to the apartments.
Each apartment will be allocated two parking spaces in an underground garage which is closed by an electric barrier and a private storage room.
Authentic and prestigious wooden blinds will be installed on the apartment's double glazed windows, stylishly tiled bathrooms with cupboards and sanitary ware and the apartments state-of-the-art electrical system comes with designer sockets and switches.
