Set behind a grand Victorian facade this impeccably finished penthouse apartment has been meticulously designed using the finest natural materials throughout. The turn-key home unfolds over the sixth and seventh floors and has wonderful rooftop views across Marylebone. It has been furnished by Soho Home.
Upon entry, the hallway makes a striking impression setting the tone for the rest of the property, with its exquisite feature staircase parquet oak floors. Practicality isn’t the only specification in this wonderful home, but beauty and elegance, which are evident in the design choices, such as the hand-crafted marble island unit fitted with a stovetop, leading onto a matching marble dining table.
The custom-built German kitchen is fitted with Gaggenau and VZug appliances. Cast-iron radiators nod to the building’s Victorian heritage. The kitchen and reception room are all open-plan and flooded with natural light thanks to the large windows. The heart of the large living space is the View Belle Gas Fireplace. A private balcony can be accessed from the living room, where there is also a home cinema.
Three of the four bedrooms are located on the sixth floor. Each of these has built-in storage and one is ensuite. There is also a family shower room on this floor.
The principal suite, which unfolds over the seventh floor, is evocative of a five-star hotel. A serene retreat, it has stucco-plastered walls, Crittall glass doors, and a private terrace featuring an outdoor eco fire pit. An abundance of built-in storage is available in the Italian dressing rooms, complemented by a luxury spa-like marble ensuite with a double sink, steam room and a unique round bathtub.
There is underfloor heating, air conditioning, a Sonos sound system and Rake lighting throughout the home, which is accessible via lift and benefits from 24-hour porter and security.
Located within walking distance of excellent restaurants, cafes and shops, this apartment also has great travel links to Notting Hill, Mayfair and St John’s Wood.
