The Blue House, 38 Shepherd Street, the first London home of legendary racing driver Sir Stirling Moss OBE, recently launched onto the lettings market with a price of £4,000 per week.
Extensively refurbished, the 2,837 sq ft, five-storey townhouse provides three-bedrooms, two reception rooms, three-bathrooms, a dining room, cinema room, guest cloakroom, double length garage, two private terraces and a walled garden.
Sir Stirling, a British legend, purchased the home in 1954 in the midst of his esteemed racing career for a mere £12,000. Falling in love with the area, he still lives on Shepherd Street, purchasing a derelict piece of land in 1961, on which he built his current six-storey high-tech home.
Noticeable from the street, 38 Shepherd Street has a pastel blue façade and large polished steel security gate. The interior is just as striking, a sleek spiral staircase rising from the ground to the top floor, is one of the standout features of this stylish, modern home.
Susan Cohen, Head of Lettings at Pastor Real Estate, said: “Currently on the market for £4,000 per week and recently refurbished to an exceptional standard, this is Mayfair¹s ultimate rental home.
“This house has everything the modern tenant requires; three-double bedrooms, a private cinema room, double reception room, two private terraces, three areas of outside space, as well as garaged parking. It¹s perfect for a professional or a young couple.”
The Blue House, 38 Shepherd Street, is equipped with the latest touchpad-controlled home technology, including a Crestron media system, Lutron mood lighting and air conditioning to the principal rooms.
