Located in the welcoming centre of Maida Vale is this flawlessly-crafted three-bedroom duplex apartment. A set of steps leads you to the warm-toned wood front door, which opens into a spacious reception room and kitchen. The room is replete with material creativity: aged bronze stone floors and textured wallpaper spans the room, making a striking backdrop for the contemporary artwork, boucle sofa and barstools. The handmade German kitchen is bold with its dark stained wood cabinetry, glossy Italian stone worktops and hi-tech appliances. A trio of gilded pendant lights hang over the island, casting a warm glow when daylight dims.
The principal bedroom suite is located on the lower-ground floor. It’s luxe in style and laidback in atmosphere, introduced through a dressing area with mirrored wardrobes. Plush carpeted floors give way to full-height windows that fill the space with natural light. Either side of the bed’s bespoke headboard, cluster pendant lighting are an eye-catching feature — particularly when reflected in the antique mirrors behind. There’s direct access to a wood-clad terrace through the French doors.
Find one of the two guest bedrooms on the lower-ground level. In warmer months, open the glass doors to the private patio garden. The horizontally-placed wooden fencing is sophisticated and affords privacy to the al fresco setting. Beyond the garden, you’ll find the home’s secure gated parking, complete with electric charging points.
The other guest bedroom is found beyond the kitchen, featuring a minimalist bunk bed and glass doors that span the width of the room. Beyond, the terrace is tailor-made for sunny interludes. The home has two bathrooms: one is finished with oversized stone tiles and a bathtub; the other is striking with Italian marble in captivating marine hues, plus a glass-framed walk-in shower that adds an industrial edge.
*Six month minimum stay.
