Description
Overview
A rare and charming single-level bungalow set on a generous one-acre plot in the heart of Runda — one of Nairobi’s most prestigious, serene, and sought-after residential neighbourhoods. This warm and characterful home offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for families, diplomats, and discerning tenants who value space, privacy, and the tranquil greenery that defines Runda living.
With its distinctive exposed brick façade, soaring vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood parquet floors, and a sprawling, beautifully landscaped garden, this property combines timeless architectural character with the generous proportions and practical amenities demanded by modern family life.
Property Description
The home presents with quiet confidence from the moment of arrival — a well-paved brick driveway leads to a neatly landscaped front garden, with the property’s warm red brick exterior and tiled roof creating an immediate sense of character and permanence. The covered entrance opens into a home that is defined by light, space, and warmth.
The heart of the home is a spectacular main living room featuring soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed timber roof beams, gleaming hardwood parquet flooring, and a feature brick fireplace — a room that is as impressive in scale as it is in character. A full wall of floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows floods the space with natural light and opens directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Wall-mounted sconces add warmth and ambience, making this an extraordinarily inviting space for both relaxed family evenings and elegant entertaining.
The upper landing — accessed via a well-crafted staircase with modern glass and timber balustrades — connects the living areas with a gallery-style hallway that benefits from a striking floor-to-ceiling built-in timber shelving unit, ideal as a library, display wall, or bespoke storage feature. This landing overlooks the living areas below and leads to the bedrooms, each enjoying garden views and generous proportions.
The kitchen is spacious and well-appointed, fitted with ample white cabinetry, dark granite countertops, and a large utility sink, complemented by a dedicated laundry and utility area with direct garden access through ornate security doors. The overall layout of the home is thoughtfully designed for family living, with spaces that flow naturally from one to another.
The bathrooms are cleanly finished, with the master bathroom featuring a glass-enclosed shower cubicle, vanity unit, and ample storage — providing a functional and comfortable private retreat.
The Garden — A True Sanctuary
The one-acre grounds are arguably the most captivating feature of this property, offering an extraordinary expanse of private outdoor space that is increasingly rare in Nairobi’s residential market. The garden is actively landscaped and in a state of thoughtful development, featuring:
- Neatly edged garden beds with fresh planting throughout
- Mature indigenous trees providing natural shade and canopy
- A charming garden gazebo with a timber pergola structure — ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation
- A winding stepping-stone pathway leading through the grounds
- Established hedgerows and tropical plantings including palms and ornamental shrubs
- A large open lawn area with ample space for children’s play, outdoor events, and entertaining
- Secure perimeter walling with razor wire, ensuring complete privacy and security
- Covered carport with ample additional parking within the compound
The garden has clearly been planned with care, and once fully established, will be a magnificent private green sanctuary.

Why Runda?
Runda is consistently regarded as one of Nairobi’s finest residential addresses — characterised by wide, tree-lined roads, expansive plot sizes, a strong sense of community, and the peace and privacy that few other neighbourhoods in the city can offer. Its proximity to the Village Market, Gigiri UN complex, international schools, and major road networks makes it as convenient as it is prestigious.
