Indulged in a Selling Sunset marathon on Netflix and feeling the itch to pamper yourself with a slice of celebrity real estate? Well, we’re here with exciting tidings: Rihanna’s lavish London mansion is now on the market for a seemingly modest £32 million.
Nestled in St John’s Wood, an enclave known for its allure in the heart of the capital, this gated, double-fronted, detached residence flaunting eight bedrooms served as the songstress’s UK haven for a span of two years. The house played a prominent role in numerous interviews and graced Instagram feeds aplenty.
This exquisite period abode, adorned with a roster of celebrity neighbors, immediately justifies why the renowned Diamonds singer opted to withdraw it from the market back in 2018 – and that’s even before stepping inside its confines.
The architectural prowess of John Shaw Junior, a favored creator of HRH Prince Albert, is evident in the design of this detached, stuccoed villa that stands as a testament to the 19th century. Adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows, a carriage driveway, and two majestic balconies, it occupies a coveted spot on one of London’s most exclusive avenues.
So, what’s included in the £32 million valuation? Well, beyond the convenience of a passenger lift catering to all five floors, there’s an array of amenities such as a gym, various dining areas, a study/library, accommodations for staff, a generously sized family kitchen, dressing rooms, a steam shower, and an infrared sauna. Not to mention, two entire floors dedicated to entertainment purposes. And here’s the kicker: the mansion arrives fully furnished and meticulously designed, replicating the ambiance of Rihanna’s time there, down to the very beds.
Adding to the opulence is a spacious, landscaped private backyard (measuring an impressive 126 feet deep and 130 feet wide), a serene haven where the singer herself spent moments of relaxation. Historical accents are plentiful, including original fireplaces sprinkled throughout the dwelling.
Modern conveniences have not been overlooked – comfort cooling, comprehensive CCTV security, home automation, a cinematic projection system, and electronic curtains and blinds provide the perfect blend of contemporary comfort and classic elegance.
