It is the most expensive home currently listed for sale anywhere in the world, according to luxury magazine Robb Report. The Holme dethroned a three-story penthouse in New York City’s Central Park Tower, which was put on the market in September for US$250 million.
The Holme was built in 1818 by Georgian property developer James Burton, and was first occupied by his family before being used by Bedford College. It became a private residence again in the 1980s, according to the Evening Standard.
An unnamed source speaking to the Evening Standard called the London mansion “the White House in Regent’s Park”, comparing the building’s facade and its massive scale with that of the historic home in Washington DC. The mansion reportedly contains 40 bedrooms, eight garages, a tennis court, a sauna, a library and a “grand dining room” as part of its 29,000 sq ft of living space, per Robb Report.
Knight Frank and Beauchamp Estates are reportedly the agents handling the sale, and both declined requests for comment on the proceedings.
