Freddie Mercury's London home for sale for $38 million

London
CNN

The former London home of rock legend Freddie Mercury is available to buy – that is, for those with a cool £30 million ($38 million) to spare.

Garden Lodge in Kensington, west London, was home to the Queen front man for 11 years, and boasts features including a Japanese sitting room, a double height drawing room, a bar/library and a music center.

The property was bought by Mercury on the spot when he first visited it in 1980, according to Knight Frank, which is handling the sale.

Collaborating with specialist interior architect and designer Robin Moore Ede, Mercury renovated the home over the next decade, using the finest materials and his personal design taste to create what he called his “country house in central London,” Knight Frank said in a press release Monday.

It must be hard for Mary to part with it. The British Government should buy it and turn it into a museum and a tribute to the greatest voice of the 20th Century.
We purchased some things from the auction.
