Here’s a home with true sparkle.
Newly remodelled 96 Portland Place in the heart of Marylebone used to be home to De Beers diamond mining magnate Sir Carl Meyer (1851-1922) and his glamorous wife, Adèle, who was famously painted with her children by John Singer Sargent.
The apartment is for sale through Aston Chase at £6.75 million.
From the ground floor an elliptical staircase leads down to four bedroom suites. The master, with walk-in dressing room, opens to a private terraced courtyard.
This dazzling home comes with access to The Park Crescent Club 24-hour leisure complex.
