A rare opportunity to acquire the premier Penthouse in Television Centre.
Description
Upon entering this magnificent penthouse apartment in the iconic Television Centre, you are greeted by a bespoke, backlit wall piece of honed onyx by Roberto Cavalli. This sets the tone for the impressive entrance hallway, where a grand spiral staircase ascends to the eighth floor of the Helios building, evoking a sense of space and grandeur from the very first step.
This floor is designed for seamless open-plan living, with well-arranged zones that can be separated by carefully placed pocket doors, offering both spaciousness and versatility. The reception area is bathed in dual aspect light, with terraces on either side, and features a striking fireplace that anchors the room.
Adjoining the reception area, the dining space flows into a Molteni C and Dada Hi Line kitchen, adorned with black oak veneer finish doors and a Carrara marble worktop and splashback. This state-of-the-art kitchen is equipped with Miele appliances and boasts a Cambria black stone island with a breakfast bar with seating for six, perfect for entertaining. The kitchen is further enhanced by a Teppanyaki grill, an induction wok, and a downdraft extractor, two U-Line wine coolers, and two dishwashers.
The media room, with its sliding doors leading to a terrace overlooking the iconic Helios statue, connects seamlessly to the office space, which also has its own private terrace. The library and bar area provide outward views and fantastic natural light, with the additional storage and a plant room, while the guest WC is elegantly finished by Porcelanosa. The main terrace, accessible from this living floor, offers over 900 square feet of outdoor living space, with an outdoor kitchen and a southerly aspect that ensures uninterrupted sunshine throughout the year.
Descending to the floor below, you will find the luxurious bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite spans the width of the apartment, featuring its own private terrace, an en-suite bathroom with double sinks, a separate bath and shower, and a full dressing room. The secondary bedroom suite provides a walk-in wardrobe and a generous bathroom. Two additional double bedrooms share a family bathroom, and the utility room and numerous cloak cupboards in the entrance hallway provide ample storage.
This one of a kind penthouse apartment is a masterpiece of design and luxury, offering unparalleled living spaces and breath taking views, making it a truly exceptional residence in the heart of the iconic Television Centre. The lifestyle of this apartment is further enhanced by five allocated underground parking spaces and a storage unit offering a further 128 sqft of storage space.
