Charming 2-story, 3-bedroom cottage for rent in Loresho.

Custom-designed and hand-built by Nairobi’s premiere home-building craftsmen over a period of five years (2018 to 2022), this charming two-storied, vine-covered cottage is truly “home” and truly “unique”. With soft wall plastering; high exposed wooden ceilings; an open-plan, traditional-style kitchen with bespoke cabinets and floating wooden shelves; and the floors, staircase, windows, and doors fashioned from the finest African mahogany hardwood, the house comes fully furnished with one-of-a-kind curated antique treasures sourced from the finest purveyors of traditional African and Asian artisans. Each of the beds in the three ensuite bedrooms, for example, are fashioned from ornate hand-carved teak doors from India’s Rajasthani desert palaces.

This delightful cottage sits on not one or even two but rather three spacious lush gardens. One garden lies in the back of the house, complete with a thatched stone-paved area for barbecuing. Another two grassy and tree-filled gardens lie in front of the house, with the furthest cut by a winding, freshwater stream feeding two fish ponds and with a cozy sitting built area perfect for holding sundowners with friends, watching children play, or just sitting quietly with nature. In sum, this one-of-a-kind cottage is a welcoming and peaceful haven, an invitation to live and produce and relax well in the very heart of Nairobi’s Loresho suburb, one of the last of the city’s green spaces and a stone’s throw from its popular Westlands shopping area and best hospitals and schools. Additional amenities include a DSQ for one and pet-friendly options.

Rent: $5,500 per month
