Sean Andrew, grandson of Kenya's former president Mwai Kibaki, recently shared an exclusive look at the Silver Hill housing development by Unity Homes within Tatu City. The development features three-storey all-white residences designed with a distinct European architectural flair that has sparked widespread admiration online.
Distinctive European Design
The homes boast elegant features such as an arched white gateway with ornate iron gates, a sweeping spiral staircase, a white fitted kitchen, wooden flooring, and expansive sliding doors leading to spacious backyards. Natural light floods each room through numerous windows, while even the wardrobes are crafted with glass doors to showcase their interiors.
Market Availability and Pricing
During the tour, Sean Andrew cautioned prospective buyers about limited availability, emphasizing that securing a unit might soon become difficult. The payment structure includes a deposit of KSh 2.9 million, with prices ranging between KSh 45.5 million and KSh 49.3 million for financed purchases. Cash buyers can acquire homes at a reduced cost of KSh 38.4 million.
Public Reaction
The video quickly amassed thousands of reactions, with many Kenyans expressing surprise at the high-end design, some equating the setting to upscale European neighborhoods such as Kensington. Comments highlighted the affordability in international terms and the rarity of such architectural styles in Kenya.
- "Such a cool house, bro," commented one viewer.
- "I almost thought you were in Kensington," noted another.
- "That's basically a $300,000 home, affordable for an average millionaire," remarked a third.
This showcase underscores the growing trend of luxury residential projects in Kenya that blend international design with local development.
