To Let | Five-Bedroom Residence | Runda, Nairobi

Description

A magnificent and characterful double-storey residence now available for letting in the prestigious heart of Runda — one of Nairobi’s most exclusive, tranquil, and internationally recognised residential neighbourhoods. This distinguished five-bedroom home is a rare offering that combines timeless architectural elegance with generous, well-appointed living spaces, lush tropical gardens, and the kind of warmth and character that only a truly special home can possess.

From its stunning fern-draped balcony entrance and ornate timber double doors, to its gleaming hardwood parquet floors, feature brick fireplace, and beautifully crafted timber-lined ceilings — every element of this home speaks to quality, craftsmanship, and a deep sense of refined living. For diplomats, senior executives, and discerning families seeking a home that is as impressive as it is comfortable, this property represents an exceptional opportunity.

Property Description

The home announces itself with quiet confidence and extraordinary curb appeal. A terracotta-paved pathway leads through a beautifully landscaped garden bursting with tropical colour and greenery, arriving at a covered entrance adorned with cascading Boston ferns and pendant lighting beneath a rich timber-lined ceiling — one of the most striking and memorable arrival experiences available in Nairobi’s residential market.

The rear garden elevation is equally impressive — a wide, arched lower veranda opens the ground floor to the garden, while a classically balustraded upper balcony with terracotta tile roofing and solar water heating provides the upper level with an elegant outdoor connection to the surrounding greenery. Stone-set stepping stairs descend through the lush lawn — a charming detail that adds character and practicality to the outdoor space.

Interior — Ground Floor

Inside, the home is defined by warmth, craftsmanship, and generous proportions. The main living room is a standout space — anchored by a magnificent feature brick fireplace with ornately carved dark timber surround and integrated cabinetry, gleaming herringbone-pattern hardwood parquet flooring, and a rich timber-lined ceiling that lends the room an atmosphere of distinguished, understated grandeur. Large windows and garden-facing openings ensure the space is beautifully lit throughout the day.

The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, featuring rich granite countertops with matching backsplash, a double stainless steel sink, extensive white cabinetry with dark timber trim, an extractor hood, tiled walls, and a large garden-facing window that keeps the space bright and well-ventilated. A separate pantry provides generous additional storage — ideal for a large or active household.

Interior — Upper Floor

A beautifully crafted timber staircase with turned baluster railings and a polished timber handrail ascends to the upper level, where the bedrooms and a generous upper landing area are found. The landing is bright and airy, with large arched windows framing garden views and a rich timber ceiling overhead — creating a gallery-like transitional space between living and sleeping areas.

The bedrooms are generously proportioned, each benefiting from gleaming hardwood parquet flooring, timber-lined ceilings, large windows with garden views, and extensive built-in timber wardrobes providing exceptional storage capacity. The master bedroom in particular is a private and comfortable sanctuary — spacious, calm, and beautifully finished.

The bathrooms are cleanly and classically finished with full white ceramic tiling featuring elegant black pinstripe detailing, fitted bathtubs with overhead showers, pedestal basins with chrome mixers, wall-mounted mirrors with vanity lighting, and WC — functional, well-maintained, and perfectly appointed.

The Garden

The grounds are among the most captivating features of this exceptional property. Lush, mature, and meticulously maintained, the gardens wrap around the home on multiple levels — featuring a well-manicured lawn with stone-set stepping stairs, mature tropical trees, flowering shrubs, ferns, and ornamental plantings that together create a private, green, and deeply tranquil outdoor sanctuary. A terracotta-paved driveway provides ample parking within the secure compound.
