This striking stucco-fronted freehold house unfolds across five floors and measures 21,659.00 sq. ft. Set in the heart of St John’s Wood, on the prestigious Avenue Road the property is beautifully defined by its exceptional finish, high ceilings, state-of-the-art technology and expansive living spaces. Interior design is by the internationally renowned David Linley and is characterised by its Art Deco finish that incorporates mahogany and teak joinery, antique brass ironmongery, and stunning finishes, including marble, onyx, and limestone bathrooms throughout. Upon entry, the marble-lined entrance lobby leads to a grand reception hall, featuring towering columns, a coffered ceiling, and a dramatic three-story lightwell crowned by a glazed dome. The principal reception room stretches the entire width of the house, with distinct areas for dining and seating, complemented by marble fireplaces, and French windows that open onto the beautifully landscaped large rear garden. The flamed-mahogany panelled study is complete with bookshelves and a marble fireplace and is the perfect retreat. The bespoke family kitchen, with its marble floors and granite breakfast bar seating up to eight, has top-of-the-line Subzero appliances. A second fully-fitted professional-grade catering kitchen comes complete with a dumb waiter, perfect for entertaining on a large scale. The leisure and entertainment complex is nothing short of exceptional. It includes a teak-paneled games room with a snooker table, a media/cinema room with teak walls and columns, a star-lit ceiling, and a drinks bar. There’s also a temperature-controlled wine cellar and for the active, a gym with a ballet rail. A steam room, sauna and plunge pool are paired with a drench shower.
