This spacious and eclectic style family home of 5 bedrooms is located on Mbagathi Ridge, the premier address in Karen in Nairobi’s leafy suburbs. The gently sloping 3 acre plot boasts numerous mature trees, a swimming pool, and a yoga pagoda. The property is set within a private and exclusive development of 5 unique and independent residences all accessed from a central entrance gate which is manned day and night by the resident’s security team.
The property has Swahili and Asian themes which blend easily together to create a cohesive and attractive living environment. French doors from the living room, kitchen and family room all open out onto a truly vast covered decking area for alfresco dining and entertaining. The terrace area overlooks the swimming pool and the Mbagathi River which runs along the property’s boundary. Children who enjoy catching modest sized fish and crabs will run free and delight in the wild areas of the garden.
There are some stunning features in this property from the antique doors imported from Rajistan and the mirrored bathroom truly is a sight to behold.
