About this home
Situated on the second floor with lift access, this impressive apartment extends to approximately 1,722 sq ft and offers superb volume and natural light throughout.
The elegant reception and dining area features Versailles floor panels and flows through to a partly open-plan kitchen, subtly divided by a feature wall with openings on either side. The kitchen is by Boffi, fitted with Miele appliances, bespoke cabinetry, and stone worktops, creating a refined and contemporary feel. Herringbone wood flooring runs throughout the kitchen and bedrooms, unifying the space with timeless sophistication.
There are two private balconies accessed from the main living area, providing attractive outside space. The principal bedroom suite is generously proportioned with extensive storage and a luxurious en suite, complemented by two further double bedrooms and two additional bathrooms, all finished to an exceptional standard.
The apartment benefits from Lutron lighting throughout and a Sonos music system in all areas, offering seamless comfort and modern convenience. With high ceilings, detailed cornicing, wooden wall panels, and double-glazed windows and balcony doors, the property combines elegance with contemporary craftsmanship.
With a meticulous level of finish throughout, this outstanding apartment forms part of Empire House, a sought-after portered block on North Terrace, ideally located moments from South Kensington and Knightsbridge. Empire House stands as an iconic structure, constructed between 1909 and 1916, originally serving as the headquarters for the Continental Tyre & Rubber Company. Positioned at the intersection of Brompton Road and Thurloe Place, it boasts a prominent view of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
This building has consistently attracted a devoted following due to its close proximity to local transportation facilities such as, South Kensington Underground (Picadilly, District and Circle lines) just 0.2 miles away and Knightsbridge Underground (Picadilly line) 0.5 miles away.
