The former London home of rock legend Freddie Mercury is available for purchase for those with $38 million to spare.
Garden Lodge in Kensington, West London, was home to the Queen frontman for 11 years and boasts features including a Japanese living room, double-height lounge, bar/library, and music center.
According to Knight Frank, which is handling the sale, the property was bought by Mercury on the spot when he first visited in 1980.
In collaboration with specialist interior architect and designer Robin Moore Ede, Mercury has been renovating the home over the next decade, using the finest materials and his design taste to create what he calls his "province house in central London", it said in a Knight Frank press release.
The Queen singer designed his home to be a "memorable, welcoming place that reflects his vibrant personality and eclectic vision," the statement added.
In that spirit, the dining room is painted citrus yellow, which was reportedly Mercury's favorite color, and the room's moldings are in complementary jewel tones.
Once home to the grand piano Mercury used to compose "Bohemian Rhapsody," the living room overlooks the property's garden, which is adorned with large magnolias and "Oriental-inspired" water features.
The property's master suite is entered through what was once Mercury's dressing room, where he stored his clothes and stage costumes. The room is mirrored from floor to ceiling, with multiple cabinet doors.
"This house was the most wonderful memory box because there is so much love and warmth in every room," Austin said in a press release.
"It was a pleasure to live in and I have many wonderful memories. Now that it is empty, I am transported back to the first time we looked at it.
"Since Freddie and I stepped through the legendary green door, it has been a place of peace, a real house of an artist, and now it's time to entrust this sense of peace to the next person - she added. /BGNES
