In Brookview, Harare, a five bedroom home sits on a 2,300 square metre plot behind a brick perimeter wall with a gated entrance and a paved driveway leading in.
The solar system and solar geyser mean the home runs largely on its own terms for power and hot water. One borehole supplements the water tanks, giving the property a supply independent of municipal delivery. Security is handled by a boom system, and the walled boundary completes the perimeter. Internet connection is available.
Inside, two lounges give the living space room to breathe one can carry the day-to-day while the other handles guests or quieter evenings. The fitted kitchen has built-in cabinets and dark countertops. Three bathrooms serve five bedrooms, with tiled finishes throughout and a walk-in closet in the main suite alongside built-in cupboards. The dining room sits separately from the lounges, and a veranda runs across the front elevation.
Outside, the landscaping has had time to establish mature trees, shaped shrubs, and lawn areas spread across the plot. An entertainment area adds a dedicated space for outdoor use.
The veranda looks out over the front garden, with the topiary and trees giving it a settled, established feel.
