A rare opportunity has arisen in London’s ultra-prime property market as a stunning four-bedroom penthouse on Old Park Lane is listed for £26.25 million.
This grand 5,085 sq ft residence occupies the entire fourth floor of the Grade II-listed building and offers 14 ft ceilings, bespoke furnishings, and iconic Art Nouveau details.
The property, which once housed the Elgin Marbles, is rich in history and cultural significance. Marketed by luxury real estate firm Dar Global, it stands as a testament to Mayfair’s opulent legacy.
Dar Global, renowned for developing high-end properties worldwide, including Dubai and Marbella, is showcasing this penthouse with its joint equity partner Fairway Capital.
The property’s exceptional heritage, combined with its modern luxury features, positions it as a prized asset for ultra-high-net-worth buyers, who continue to drive demand in London’s exclusive districts.
The residence’s history is as captivating as its design. In the early 19th century, Lord Elgin brought the Parthenon Marbles to the UK, displaying them at this very address, then known as Gloucester House. The property’s story also includes aristocratic scandals and royalty, with Prince William, Duke of Gloucester, residing there in the early 1800s.
Today, the apartment’s allure extends beyond its historic ties. With top-tier amenities like 24-hour concierge service, a grand reception hall, and luxurious master suites, it offers modern comfort within a heritage setting.
Sotheby’s is handling the sale of this extraordinary piece of Mayfair’s history.
Despite the substantial service charge of £64,000 per year, this property’s allure is unlikely to deter the world’s wealthiest buyers.
As London’s ultra-prime market continues to flourish, with a 25% rise in property value last year alone, this unique listing is sure to captivate discerning investors seeking a piece of London’s storied past.
