This is a 6-bedroom house for sale in Lamu Town. Affectionately known as Andavelo House, this is a beautiful centuries-old patrician home, on a 0.15-acre plot, that has been recently and thoughtfully restored. Spanning nearly 800 sqm, the residence is richly appointed with traditionally crafted custom-made furniture throughout all the suites and common areas. One side of the house adjoins the traditional Lamu House Museum, where no future development is permitted, allowing for open views across Lamu.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hallway, kitchen, store room, a large dining area near the kitchen with seating for up to 14 guests, a common lounge/relaxation area, dip pool, shower area, and a massage room. The second and third floors host six ensuite bedrooms, two of which are particularly spacious and feature generous private sitting areas. Each bedroom is fitted with ceiling fans, large Lamu double beds, surround mosquito netting, carpets, wardrobes, electrical outlets, desks, chairs, and lighting. The windows are traditionally designed with open frames and shutters rather than glass, ensuring privacy while allowing for pleasant cross-ventilation throughout the home. The property also features two flat roof terraces shaded by wooden gazebos draped in passion fruit climbers.
Available amenities include a freshwater well, KPLC power connection and internet installation completed in 2022.
