London Penthouse by James Stirling Lists for $19 Million

A duplex penthouse in London's St. James, the final project of late British architect James Stirling, is on the market for just under $19 million. Located on the top two floors of a Carlton Gardens building, the residence has been refreshed by Nuhu Developments and features furniture by Kelly Wearstler and artwork by André Lanskoy (available separately). The top floor contains entertaining spaces: a high-ceilinged main reception room with a stone fireplace and dark-wood media console, a geometric-tiled hallway leading to a room with mirrored closets and rooftop terrace access, a sleek kitchen with stone countertops and breakfast bar, and a powder room with line-drawing wallpaper. The sixth floor houses three bedrooms: a primary suite with dressing room and marble bathroom featuring an oversize soaking tub, plus two en-suite bedrooms, one with pink marble. A private rooftop terrace is the main amenity; the building offers a communal garden, secure parking, and 24-hour concierge. The listing is held by Sotheby's International Realty and Alisa Zotimova of AZ Real Estate. The 2,500-square-foot penthouse is relatively spacious for central London. In 2019, billionaire Ken Griffin purchased nearby 3 Carlton Gardens for $122 million, then the UK's most expensive home sale since 2011.
