Listing of the Day

Location: Kensington, London

Price: 9.95 million (US$12.81 million)

This new, opulently outfitted townhouse in Londons chic Kensington neighborhood, which is under contract, is a bit like a luxury resort.

Contracts were exchanged in early November, and the deal is expected to be completed in the new year, according to Jack Russell, a director and negotiator of house sales for Russell Simpson. He said that that sale price was close to the asking price.

Developed by Onyx London, the house, which replaced an apartment building, is a traditional Georgian style that blends with the rest of the residences in the neighborhood.

"The exterior fits seamlessly within the character of the street," said Hattie Russell, sales negotiator for Russell Simpson, adding that it was short-listed for design et al magazines 2019 International Design & Architecture Awards. "Yet inside, you find all the amenities and quality you would expect from a modern development."

She said its proximity to good schools, parks, restaurants and shopping area will attract a family seeking a central location in the city and its gracious spaces make it an ideal entertaining venue.

The courtyard garden, she added, blends the indoors and outdoors. "The windows and doors all open into it," she said.

"The lift and the leisure amenities, including the pool, are not features that are found in the older properties in the neighborhood," she added.
