About Chestnut City

A 35 sqm studio apartment at Chestnut City, Nanyuki from KES 3.8M — open-plan, with a private balcony and Mount Kenya surroundings. Enquire with Block.Studio Apartment at Chestnut City, NanyukiA well-designed studio asks very little of you and gives a great deal back. The studio apartments at Chestnut City are compact, efficient and easy to look after — a calm, low-maintenance base in one of Nanyuki’s most thoughtfully planned addresses, with Mount Kenya as the backdrop and the town’s amenities a short walk away.

At 35 sqm, every metre is put to work: an open-plan living and kitchen space, built-in wardrobes to keep things tidy, and a balcony to step out onto at the start or end of the day. It’s a sensible, accessible first home — and an equally easy one to lock up and leave.
