Arched windows fitted with decorative grilles run along the front facade, while a soft pink door gives the entrance a distinctive touch.

A sports utility vehicle sits parked under a shaded carport, adding to the picture of a settled, comfortable life.

It is the grounds, however, that truly catch the eye. A thick, neatly trimmed lawn stretches across the entire front yard, punctuated by young conifers and spiky palms arranged at even intervals.

A low perimeter wall with a black-and-white painted kerb traces the driveway, and tall trees in the background frame the property beneath an open blue sky.

The polished, orderly feel of the home is very much in keeping with the discipline that has defined Manangoi's athletic career.

He announced himself to the world at the 2017 World Championships in London, where he won the 1500m title to become a global name in middle-distance running.

He backed that up with a silver medal at the 2019 World Championships in Doha, and in 2017 he also claimed the Diamond League 1500m title, cementing his reputation as one of Kenya's finest runners over that distance.

The photos offer a glimpse of the quieter side of a champion who has spent years under the spotlight, suggesting that for Manangoi, home is very much where his peace lies.

TUKO.co.ke also highlighted facts about Ferdinand Omanyala’s KSh 12 million apartment in Westlands, acquired through a partnership with real estate developer R1 Africa.

The property adds to a growing portfolio that includes a KSh 50 million home in Ruiru, as a stress fracture brought his promising 2026 track season to an early end.
