A Home Designed for Comfortable, Convenient Living

This is a home for people who value both space and location — and who’d rather not wait to move in.

All three bedrooms are ensuite, giving each member of the household privacy and comfort, while the DSQ adds practical support space. Because the apartment comes semi-furnished — with the kitchen appliances, a water filter, and curtains throughout already provided — the work of settling in is largely done; you bring your furniture and personal touches, and the essentials are in place. For a household that wants a straightforward, ready home in a well-connected setting, it strikes a genuinely practical balance.

Location Advantage

General Mathenge Drive is one of Nairobi’s established, leafy residential addresses — quiet and upmarket, yet within easy reach of the city’s key hubs. The apartment sits close to the 3rd Parklands Mosque and the amenities of Parklands and Westlands, with the Gigiri diplomatic zone — home to the United Nations and numerous embassies — less than ten minutes’ drive away.

For professionals, diplomatic-community households, and families alike, it’s a location that balances calm residential surroundings with genuine convenience — schools, shopping, dining, and healthcare all within comfortable reach. Specific distances and directions can be confirmed at the point of enquiry, and we’re happy to arrange a viewing so you can experience the setting for yourself.

Why It Works for Renters

For a tenant, this home offers a rare combination: space, comfort, and a ready move-in, in a location that makes daily life easy.

The all-ensuite layout gives everyone their own space, the DSQ adds practical support, and the semi-furnished setup means the essentials — appliances, water filtration, and curtains — are already in place, so you’re not starting from scratch. Two parking spaces and access to the gym and pool round out the everyday comforts. And the General Mathenge Drive setting keeps you close to Parklands, Westlands, and the diplomatic zone, with the calm of an established residential neighbourhood. For anyone wanting to settle quickly into a well-located home, it’s a genuinely practical choice.

Finishes and Furnishing

The apartment is offered semi-furnished to a comfortable standard, with the kitchen fully equipped (fridge, oven, microwave, 4-burner stove, and a water filter machine), a washing machine, and curtains fitted throughout. The three bedrooms are all ensuite. A fully furnished option — with furniture in place — is available on request.

Further detail on the finishes, fittings, and the exact furnishing inventory can be confirmed at the point of enquiry, and seen in person at a viewing.

Who This Home Suits Best

This apartment tends to suit:

• Families seeking a spacious, all-ensuite home with a DSQ in a calm, well-located neighbourhood
• Professionals and diplomatic-community households who value proximity to the Gigiri zone and the UN
• Tenants who need to move in quickly, with kitchen appliances and curtains already provided
• Diaspora families renting a Nairobi home on behalf of relatives (see below)

It’s less suited to those seeking a fully unfurnished blank canvas, or a home outside the mid-to-upper rental bracket.
