Freddie Mercury's London Home Listed for $38 Million
The iconic singer's former residence, preserved as a time capsule, hits the market for the first time since 1991.
- Freddie Mercury's former London home, Garden Lodge, is listed for sale at $38 million, marking its first market appearance since his death in 1991.
- The Neo-Georgian estate, located in the exclusive Kensington neighborhood, was purchased by Mercury in 1980 and has been preserved as a time capsule by his friend and former fiancée, Mary Austin.
- The home features eight bedrooms, a grand drawing room, a formal dining room painted in Mercury's favorite saffron yellow, and a Japanese-style garden with magnolia trees and water features.
- Mercury's piano, used to compose 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' was housed in the drawing room but does not come with the sale; it was auctioned for $2.1 million last year.
- The sale offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of cultural history, with the property being carefully preserved over the last three decades.
