A London Townhouse Where Julie Andrews Once Lived Wants $33M

A spoonful of sugar might help the bitter taste of a $33 million price tag go down for a buyer interested in this London residence. It also might help to know that the 7,000-square-foot townhouse has been home to legends like Julie Andrews, Mick Jagger, and Margaret Thatcher, all at different times of course.

Located on a coveted corner of Chester Square, this six-bedroom, six-bathroom house was recently completely renovated to impress even the most posh Londoners. In particular, buyers will swoon when they hear that the same artisans who worked on interiors at Windsor Castle and The Palace of Westminster crafted the home’s marble-clad, Tom Ford-inspired bathrooms.

Grand and minimal elements beautifully blend throughout the space, boasting glitzy chandeliers and gold mirrors in the living room and clean lines and gray surfaces in the kitchen. Perhaps the home can’t be tied down to one style, as the beloved Julie Andrews has rarely been tied to one type of performance.

While the chic neutral-hued interiors, soaring high ceilings, and five sprawling balconies are certainly big draws, it’s the basement health center that sets the property apart. Energizing blue tiles cover the spa, which includes a whirlpool tub, steam room, and sauna. A yoga studio and gym are close by, making it a sanctuary for mind, body and soul.

Listed with Rokstone for £24 million, this storied and fully updated abode is so special that it may disappear from the market as quickly as it came on. Variety first reported the luxury listing.
