Refurbished Elegance in the Heart of Marrakesh

$3.4 MILLION (32.7 MILLION MOROCCAN DIRHAMS)

This eight-bedroom, nine-bath room home is in Marrakesh, Morocco’s fourth-largest city, inside the ancient, walled section known as the medina.

The property, which covers about 11,500 square feet, consists of two interconnected riads — traditional Moroccan houses built around central courtyards or gardens — and a smaller house acquired by the owners so they could convert its courtyard into a swimming pool, said Alex Peto, a partner at Kensington Luxury Properties, the Morocco affiliate of Christie’s International, which has the listing.

The riads, which date back about 200 years, have been refurbished and updated, a project that included adding a retractable glass roof to one of the courtyards, Mr. Peto said.

That courtyard has a fountain at its center surrounded by four fruit trees, as well as a balcony, arched doorways supported by ornately carved columns at either end, and several seating areas. The floors and walls are decorated with zellige, a traditional Moroccan mosaic tilework.
