luxury architect apartments / penthouses for sale London, United Kingdom

An exceptional four-bedroom maisonette, with soaring ceilings, enormous natural light throughout, restored period details, and an award-winning architectural redesign. The home comes with a private garden, speaking to a way of living that is comfortable and effortless. Positioned on a quiet, characterful family street moments from Alexandra Palace, with direct trains reaching King's Cross in around ten minutes. Please get in touch for private viewings. This is an absolute must-see. Some homes are simply lived in. This one was designed to be lived in well. This four-bedroom maisonette behaves in every way like a house, set across the upper floors of a fine Edwardian terrace, with its own front door, two studies and a private garden. Standing at the end of the terrace, it draws natural light from more than one side, with an openness and privacy that homes in this area rarely enjoy. You arrive through a private, hedged forecourt laid with original black-and-white geometric tiling, beneath an ornate period porch. The home's own stained-glass door, an original piece in deep green, opens to a welcoming entrance hall. From here, a staircase rises gently to the first floor, where it meets a calm, light-filled landing beneath a strikingly high ceiling that runs through the heart of the home. A glazed internal screen sits between this landing and the kitchen beyond, carrying light from one space into the other, so the home feels connected and full of air from the moment you reach the top of the stairs. The front of the home is given over to living. Here, the sitting room, dining area and kitchen flow together. The sitting room has a high ceiling, an original ceiling rose and a restored cast-iron fireplace, framed by full-height bookshelves and filled with light from the wide front windows, while the kitchen is finished in warm timber with quartz surfaces, an integrated oven and hob, open shelving and a built-in window bench, set above a patterned tiled floor warmed by underfloor heating. The two spaces meet so that cooking, dining and gathering happen as one. This easy front-of-home life is the result of a single clever decision, to bring the sociable rooms forward and settle rest at the back, so daily life no longer crosses the whole home. Off the front sits a study, the first of the home's two workrooms, a quiet, light-filled space that today holds a piano. Walking back along the landing, a further room works beautifully as a fourth bedroom, a guest room or a second study. Beyond it, the family bathroom is finished in white metro tile with a patterned floor, a bath, and a period sash window. At the rear lies the main bedroom, the home's most private room, rising beneath a sculptural double-height ceiling with an exposed painted beam, lit by large sash windows and a remote-controlled, acoustic rooflight that opens to the sky above the bed. A fitted walk-in wardrobe and shelved headboard are smartly built in around it. The volume and light here are rare for a London bedroom. Two staircases serve the room. One descends quietly to the garden, discreetly set apart and almost unnoticed until needed. The other rises privately to the floor above, a quiet convenience linking this room directly to the second floor. Because that upper floor is already fully served by the main hallway staircase, this private flight is an enhancement rather than a necessity, and it can be removed without hassle to reclaim the full floor space for an owner who would prefer the extra room. Step outside and the property opens onto a front garden and, to the rear, a private, enclosed garden, independently accessed, with a paved terrace for dining set among mature planting and tall, established greenery, offering a sense of seclusion seldom found this close to central London. Ascending to the second floor, you reach a top level lined in warm birch plywood, exceptionally bright and lit from above by its own shaft of daylight. Velux rooflights open to the sky throughout, framed by bespoke timber shutters, and a tall picture window brings in generous natural light. The two double bedrooms are designed for comfort, each with its own built-in bed, fitted wardrobes and integrated joinery. Tall windows and Velux rooflights bring light from two directions, framing the open sky and filling both rooms with daylight; they open to let air move freely through the rooms. Alongside lies a mezzanine office and utility, among the calmest spaces in the home, with the laundry tucked neatly behind cabinetry. The shower room completes the floor, a wet room tiled from floor to ceiling, with a run of large overhead glazing that makes it feel like showering beneath the open sky. This is, above all, a home that is easy to live in. The space is generous; the storage is built-in throughout, so the rooms stay calm; the daytime and evening areas are clearly defined; and the light is constant from morning to evening. It asks nothing of its next owner but to move in. The home was reconfigured and rebuilt by architects Zminkowska De Boise in a thorough refurbishment completed in late 2018, which reworked the layout to bring sociable living to the front and rest to the back. The work was extensive and structural, including a new roof beneath Spanish slate with full insulation, an EPDM flat roof, and dormers clad in Rheinzink, as well as the sculptural plywood interiors and bespoke joinery that define the upper floors. This is a home that has been done once and done properly. The architecture has been widely recognised. The project was longlisted for New London Architecture's Don't Move, Improve! awards in 2019, exhibited at the Building Centre in central London, and later featured in Real Homes magazine. Recognition of this kind is rarely given, and never lightly, and it speaks to a quality of design that goes well beyond the ordinary refurbishment. The specification is considered the design. The home has double glazing throughout, with acoustic rooflights to the front that keep the rooms quiet against the street, engineered oak flooring, and underfloor heating to the kitchen and shower room. Behind the joinery, the practicalities are equally well handled, with integrated appliances including oven, hob and an integrated washer and dryer, new wiring and plumbing throughout, new radiators, and a system boiler with a 150-litre cylinder, serviced annually. The front path, which carries rights-of-way, was refurbished in May 2026. The setting is as considered as the home itself. Crescent Road is an established family street, where summer gatherings and carol singing mark the corner with Alexandra Park Road, and a nearby parade still keeps its family-run grocer, the Sweet Tree Bakery and a long-standing local chip shop. Neighbours know one another here, the kind of quiet, settled place that is increasingly rare in London and, once found, rarely given up. The cafés and independent shops of Crouch End and Muswell Hill lie within an easy walk. At the end of the road lies its finest asset: Alexandra Palace and its park, with the theatre, the ice rink, and the celebrated concert venue, alongside open green space, tennis courts, a children's playground, and a farmers' market each Sunday. The transport reaches King's Cross in around ten minutes, and the area is well regarded for its schools, with the finest Primary School approximately 0.4 miles from the door. The owners renovated the property with great care, shaping it for comfort so that its daytime and evening spaces are clearly defined. It is this thoughtful zoning, together with the generous built-in storage and the abundance of natural light, that they consider its lasting strength. The property is offered with a Share of Freehold on a 999-year lease from 1996, sits within council tax band C, and is available chain-free. Homes that combine the space and independence of a house with the security of a share of freehold and a design of this standing are rare, and rarer still in a setting like this one. The owners move on now to their next chapter, and they leave with real fondness for a home and a neighbourhood they have been truly happy in. To understand it fully, it must be seen.
