650 sqm. Fireplace. Lap Pool. Dual Kitchens. 2 DSQs. A Quarter Acre in Karen. Only 8 Villas Exist. From KES 150 Million.
Eight villas in a Karen estate. Five ensuite bedrooms per villa. Two DSQs. 650 sqm across three levels on a quarter-acre plot. A lap pool, a gym, a fireplace in the living room, and six parking bays. From KES 150 million. That is the summary. What follows is why it matters.
At 650 sqm, these are among the largest new-build villas currently available in Karen — and the dual-kitchen configuration is what separates this home from every other five-bedroom listing in the neighbourhood. A closed fitted kitchen handles the daily cooking — the housekeeper's domain, fully cabineted, designed for volume and function. An open kitchen with granite countertops connects to the dining area — the social kitchen where the homeowner cooks for guests, where Saturday brunch happens in company, and where the worktop is a surface worth looking at. Two kitchens is not redundancy. It is the recognition that cooking in a household of this scale serves two entirely different purposes, and each deserves its own room.
Ground Floor — The Level That Does the Most Work
The living room is large, well-lit, and built around a fireplace — the architectural centrepiece that gives the room its focal point and Karen's cool evenings their setting. A separate sitting room opens directly onto a large backyard — the informal living space where the family operates daily, where children move freely between indoors and outdoors, and where the formality of the fireplace room gives way to the ease of a room that faces the garden.
The dining area seats eight to ten — adjacent to the open kitchen, proportioned for the meals that a five-bedroom household serves to family and guests.
A ground-floor guest bedroom — ensuite, with fitted wardrobes — provides a self-contained suite for visitors who should not be climbing stairs. The guest cloakroom serves the ground floor independently. The pantry stores what two kitchens consume. The storage space under the staircase absorbs the logistics of daily family life.
The lap pool is designed for swimming, not just sitting beside. Morning laps before work. Weekend family time. Fitness infrastructure that eliminates the club membership.
The gym area serves the household's daily exercise routine — private, within the compound, on no one's schedule but the homeowner's.
Two DSQs — separate staff quarters for two members of household staff. Two DSQs means the **** and the housekeeper each have their own accommodation, or the second DSQ serves a driver, a nanny, or a gardener. The staffing flexibility that a large Karen household requires.
First Floor — Four Bedrooms, Huge Balconies
Three ensuite bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, extra storage spaces, and huge balconies — each room a private suite where a child, a teenager, or a guest lives with independence, comfort, and outdoor space at their own door. The balconies are not token ledges. They are described as huge because they are — the outdoor extension of each bedroom, usable and furnished.
A fourth bedroom with wardrobes — the additional room that a five-bedroom household uses for guests, for a home office, for a teenager's independence, or for the flexibility that a growing family eventually needs.
Upper Floor — The Master Suite
The entire top floor belongs to the homeowners. A spacious master bedroom at the highest point of the home. A bathroom with a bathtub — the centrepiece of the ensuite, designed for the soak that ends the day. A big master balcony — the private outdoor terrace where Karen's treeline is the view and the quiet is absolute.

Who This Villa Is For
The large family that needs the full specification — five ensuite bedrooms, two DSQs, a lap pool, a gym, and a fireplace. In Karen. On a quarter acre. The home where the household operates at the scale it requires, with two kitchens, six parking bays, and the staff accommodation to run it all.
The buyer who entertains in Karen — a living room with a fireplace, a sitting room with a backyard, an open kitchen with granite countertops, a dining area for ten, and a lap pool. The ground floor is designed for the life that happens when guests arrive.
The ultra-premium investor — only 8 units, 650 sqm each, in Karen. The tenant profile at this specification is the highest-paying in Nairobi's residential market: ambassadors, C-suite expatriates, senior diplomatic staff. Supply at this level is permanently limited.
The diaspora family — KES 150M for the Karen home that generates premium rental income while abroad and welcomes the family to 650 sqm of fireplace, pool, and garden when they return.
