House to rent in Karen, Kenya

A timeless country manor-inspired residence, this standalone four-bedroom ensuite home blends classic architecture with refined contemporary comforts. Defined by its rusticated stone masonry façade, steep gabled rooflines, and curated interiors, the home evokes the warmth of an English countryside estate while embracing understated luxury and modern family living.

A stately hardwood entrance door with an ornate handle opens into a welcoming foyer enhanced by decorative Kitengela Glass framed panels. Beyond, a few steps lead down into the sunken living room, where soaring double-volume ceilings and exposed timber beams create striking scale. A fireplace forms the heart of the space, while expansive windows and sliding doors invite natural light and garden access.

The fully fitted kitchen, anchored by a generous island, features white goods including a four-burner gas cooker, two-plate induction hob, extractor hood, built-in oven, microwave, and double-door refrigerator. Rich walnut-toned cabinetry lends warmth and sophistication alongside storage and workspace. Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious pantry, while a charming kitchen garden offers space to cultivate herbs and produce.

Three ensuite bedrooms are positioned to offer comfort and flexibility. On the ground floor, two spacious bedrooms enjoying direct external access through sliding doors are connected by a private hallway, creating a distinct wing ideal for guests or family. Upstairs, an additional ensuite bedroom with balcony is positioned just beyond the cosy family lounge at the landing. All three bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, while their contemporary bathrooms are fitted with glass shower cubicles. A guest cloakroom further serves the main living areas.

Occupying a privileged position on the upper level, the master suite has been conceived as a private sanctuary. Exceptionally proportioned, the suite enjoys the rare luxury of two private balconies, a walk-in wardrobe with a dedicated vanity, and an ensuite bathroom featuring a sleek glass shower cubicle and dual wash basins positioned opposite each other for symmetry and convenience.

A dedicated laundry room, fitted with a washing machine, adds practicality, while a detached staff quarter provides accommodation for two.

Outside, the residence is framed by manicured lawns that enhance its serenity while creating a picturesque approach to the home. Completing the property is a cabro-paved driveway leading to a covered carport and extensive private parking. CCTV surveillance, solar water heating, and a 70,000-litre water storage system also enhance the home's appeal.

Positioned within one of Karen's most sought-after addresses, the home enjoys close proximity to Karen Country Club, leading International Schools, and bespoke eateries such as Talisman, Asmara, and Matteo's. The home also enjoys access to Waterfront Mall, My Town Strip Mall, The Karen Hospital, the Southern Bypass, and Karen's wider lifestyle amenities.
