We can’t promise you’ll be invited to tea, but we can promise you’ll be pleased with your new neighbors. Discerning purchasers will soon be able to live next door to Buckingham palace — which, of course, houses Queen Elizabeth II.
A 300,000-square-foot luxury home found in the heart of St. James Park, No. 1 palace Street has 72 impeccably created apartments and suites, offering future residents soaring ceilings, sweeping views of Buckingham’s 42-acre gardens, and a 10,000-square-foot private lifestyle facility (think personal training suites, decadent treatment spaces and a fitness center you’ll want to go to). The 20-meter, private swimming pool that’s sure to keep you lapping in high-end is stated to be one of the very best in London.
With a wing that was once part of The palace hotel — it was developed in 1861 and housed the distinguished guests of Queen Victoria — the building is in strict keeping with the property’s historical origins, in addition to its royal surroundings. The spacious interiors are tastefully chosen with standard and contemporary design in mind, and the period features pay homage to the building’s special blend of architectural styles.
Interested in a home in shape for a queen? There are still some units available for purchase, though you may want to hold off on getting that new fastener for now. Prices range from £2.5 to £30 million (approx. $3.6-$58.6 million CAD).
No. 1 palace Street is arranged to be completed December 2019.
