Inside, you’ll find a bright and inviting living and dining space, tastefully furnished and filled with natural light from large windows.

A fourth bedroom sits conveniently on the ground floor. Each room comes with its own desk and chair, making it simple to balance work and leisure. There’s also a dedicated study room with a diverse selection of books — a quiet space ideal for reading, writing, or remote work.
Step outside and you’re greeted by a private garden and patio, perfect for sipping tea, relaxing with loved ones, or simply enjoying Nairobi’s cool evenings. The villa is set within a secure neighbourhood, offering peace of mind with a private security guard and ample parking.

From the villa, you’re just over a kilometre away from Karen shopping centre, only ten minutes from The Hub Karen Mall, fifteen minutes from the Giraffe Centre and the Karen Blixen Museum, and twenty minutes from Nairobi National Park.
