In Hogertyhill Harare, a home offering eight bedrooms and five bathrooms sits walled and gated on its own grounds, with the kind of scale that takes a proper walk to appreciate.
One borehole feeds the property alongside water tanks, so supply isn't contingent on a single source. The electric gate and security boom manage access before anyone reaches the house itself. Three lounges spread the living across the interior a property this size carries that easily, and it means the main reception doesn't have to work for every occasion. A dedicated office and a dining room give the day structure beyond just bedroom and lounge.
The kitchen is fitted throughout, with wooden floors running through the interior and built-in cupboards providing storage that doesn't rely on furniture. A walk-in closet sits off the main suite. The fireplace is worth noting for the cooler months this is a big house, and a room with its own heat source becomes the natural gathering point when the temperature drops.
Eight garages is a serious amount of covered parking, and the entertainment area extends the usable space beyond the main rooms. A jacuzzi sits within the property, and there is a cottage separate from the main house.
The veranda looks out onto the garden, which has been maintained as part of the grounds.
