Have £390,000 to spend for a year’s rent in upscale Mayfair? We don’t either, but we can fantasise.
This magnificent flat, on the market for £7,500 per week, is pure dream material, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and high-class furnishings to match its exorbitant price tag.
The beautiful Georgian building (covering 2,292 square feet) is located on Charles Street, one of London’s nicest residential enclaves just steps from Berkeley Square, and has an outstanding W1 postcode.
The interior of the mansion, which is available completely furnished through Mayfair property experts Wetherell for £32,500 per month, is just as opulent, having just received a lavish renovation costing hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Armani fabrics, handblown Murano glass chandeliers, and Czech Lasvit lighting installations stand out, but tiny elements like handmade mother-of-pearl wallpaper in the master bedroom suite and gold-stamped Lalique crystal taps in the cloakroom are also highlights.
A Crestron home automation system to operate the window blinds, air conditioning, and TV displays from the touch of an iPad has also been added, as have immersible, invisible Amina speakers to fill the home with sound.
The unit is located on the ground level of the bow-fronted townhouse and is accessed through a portered lobby that leads into private halls adorned with marble flooring.
The living area has three-metre high ceilings, an Italian marble art-deco inspired fireplace, pale engineered oak flooring, and a triple row of massive sash windows.
This space may be preserved as a separate room or opened up with the help of a subtle dark wood sliding screen that links to the kitchen and eating area.
The chef’s kitchen, which includes an eight-seater table ideal for dinner groups, is fully furnished and designed to a high quality, with mirrored wall panels, a bookmatched marble island, and sparkling crystal light fittings.
The main bedroom suite has handmade mother-of-pearl wallpaper, art installations, and a pop-up TV hidden inside a lacquered container.
It also has a marble ensuite bathroom and a dressing room with separate places for shoe, purse and jewellery storage, as well as full-height mirroring.
The home also includes two additional ensuite bedrooms, a study/family room with a built-in desk space, and a utility room with a sink and built-in cabinets.
Residents have access to calm community gardens at the back of the building, despite being a short walk from both Green and Hyde parks, as well as the trendy stores and cafés of Shepherd Market, Mount Street and Old Bond Street.
Charles Street’s famous former residents include art critic John Ruskin and Josiah Wedgwood, and the neighbouring Footman bar is supposed to have inspired the Junior Ganymede Club in P.G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves books.
‘Charles Street is one of the most highly rated residential streets in Mayfair, a flourishing community of both British and foreign homeowners and tenants,’ said Peter Wetherell, Founding Chairman of Wetherell.
