Nestled in the heart of one of Nairobi’s most secure and green neighborhoods, this home is just minutes from Village Market, Karura Forest, and key embassies. It’s the perfect base to explore the city while enjoying a peaceful, garden-filled retreat.

A Warm Welcome Awaits

As you arrive, a private driveway leads to a large compound with parking space for up to 3 vehicles. A second pathway takes you straight to the backyard garden — ideal for evening strolls or weekend barbecues.

Step inside and be greeted by a spacious lounge area, flooded with natural light from large windows that frame views of the beautifully maintained garden. A fireplace at the heart of the room creates a warm atmosphere, while a bookshelf invites avid readers to unwind. Music lovers will especially enjoy the full-sized piano, making this space feel truly personal and lived-in.

Cook, Dine & Entertain

Adjacent to the lounge is the dining area, a charming space overlooking a vintage-style verandah adorned with African antiques. The fully equipped kitchen offers everything needed for home cooking, including a six-burner cooker, microwave, dishwasher, and a complete set of cutlery and cookware.
