In Mount Pleasant, Harare, a home with four bedrooms and four bathrooms sits on a 600sqm plot with a 500sqm floor size a combination that points to rooms with real proportions rather than a plan stretched thin across a cramped footprint.
The borehole is one borehole, and on a property this size with a swimming pool drawing on water year-round, that matters more than it might on a smaller plot. The pool itself has a tiled surround and paved decking not a feature tacked on at the edge of the yard but one that sits properly within the outdoor space, which also carries mature trees and a mix of paved and brick-paved areas throughout.
Inside, one lounge anchors the living area, with a separate dining room keeping meals distinct from the main sitting space. The kitchen has fitted cabinets and appliances already in place. Three garages give you covered parking without the usual trade-off between cars and storage, and with a 500sqm floor size in the mix, the interior arrangement has room to breathe.
The perimeter combines hedging and walling boundary that reads as settled rather than temporary, with the mature trees adding to a yard that has clearly been maintained over time.
Three garages open via a wooden panelled door, and the tiled bathroom visible from the interior carries the same level of finish seen through the rest of the home.
