In Arlington East, Harare, a home with four bedrooms and a pool sits on a walled 500sqm plot, connected to both solar power and a borehole.
The solar system carries the home's day-to-day electrical load, while a solar geyser handles hot water independently of the grid. One borehole and water tanks give you a supply that runs separately from municipal pressure useful on a plot this size with a pool to maintain. CCTV and a security boom add a layer of access control at the boundary.
Inside, tiled flooring runs through the main living areas, and the kitchen is fitted with cabinets, a gas stove with rangehood, and a tiled backsplash. The layout opens the kitchen into the living space, with sliding glass doors drawing the rear garden and pool into view from inside. Three bathrooms serve four bedrooms, one of which has a walk-in closet; built-in cupboards appear across the others. One lounge anchors the living areas, and the coffered ceiling gives it a finished quality that carries through to the entertainment area.
Two garages sit within the walled boundary. The garden runs to the pool at the rear, enclosed by brick boundary walling visible from the interior windows.
