A newly refurbished London mansion with Art Deco interiors and modern luxury finishes has been listed for £23.5 million (USD$33.3 million) in the tony St. John’s Wood neighborhood.
Located on Hamilton Terrace, the design of the home is a historical nod to the nearby 1930s home of a famed London socialite, as well as the Art Deco interiors of 1920s New York City hotels.
The interiors were “inspired by the glamorous life of Freda Dudley Ward, the mistress of King Edward VIII, later the Duke of Windsor, who lived in an Art Deco house on Hamilton Terrace between 1937 to 1966,” said designer Nicola Fontanella, founding director of Argent Design, in an emailed statement.

The nine-bedroom, eight-bathroom home is also fully equipped with ultra-modern amenities, including a movie theater and a health spa that includes a gym, steam room and 12-meter indoor swimming pool with leisure decks. The property’s current owners couldn’t be identified, but have owned the home for around 11 years, according to a representative.
Art Deco-style touches have been incorporated throughout the home, from the furniture to the statement flooring and grand staircase in the main entrance hall to the light fixtures.
The home features multiple spaces for entertaining, including a drawing room, dining room and a “wine/cards room” with a built-in cocktail bar as well as champagne and wine refrigerators. Tony Murray Photography

The living quarters include a primary bedroom suite located on its own private floor with twin walk-in closets as well as twin marble bathrooms. In addition to six bedrooms located on upper floors, there are two additional bedrooms on lower levels designed to act as staff quarters.

A landscaped backyard has been updated to include an outdoor fireplace as well as multiple seating areas, and a front driveway provides “substantial” room for parking, according to the listing.
Originally a single-family home, the property was converted into apartments in the 1960s, then reverted back to a single-family mansion in the 1990s, according to a representative. The current refurbishment by Argent Design was a three-year process that involved retention of the original period facade, but a complete redevelopment of the interiors.
Michael Sulkin of Aston Chase is representing the sale, and said in a statement, “The interiors skillfully combine Art Deco and contemporary influences and the glamorous interiors, amenity facilities and landscaped grounds are perfect for a family or A-lister looking for a London home providing an abundance of entertaining space and bedrooms.”
