Developer Edo Mapelli Mozzi, known for his marriage to Princess Beatrice, unveils a luxurious 10,000-square-foot home with a pool and spa in the heart of Chelsea Barracks, once a military

stronghold in London.

Nestled within the historic confines of Chelsea Barracks, a prestigious enclave undergoing a metamorphosis into a high-end residential community, a distinguished townhouse emerges, commanding a £42 million price tag ($53.2 million USD).

Crafted by renowned real estate firm Banda, led by Edo Mapelli Mozzi, spouse of Princess Beatrice and notable figure in British society, this five-bedroom masterpiece epitomizes the essence of artisanal craftsmanship, according to joint listing agents Savills and Knight Frank.

Mapelli Mozzi, expressing his vision for Chelsea Barracks, remarked, "The inspiration at Chelsea Barracks is abundant. From the craftspeople involved in the wider planning to the attention to detail within the build and sense of light and access to nature, Banda’s townhouse is testament to the strength of the artisanal ecosystem."

Spanning 10,000 square feet, the residence seamlessly blends traditional and contemporary elements, showcasing meticulously curated art and furnishings sourced from both local and international artisans. Notable features include a nature-inspired home theater, a private garden, and a rooftop terrace offering panoramic vistas of London's skyline.

Moreover, the property boasts a private spa replete with an 11-meter swimming pool—a rare luxury in London's townhouse market—alongside a dedicated gym and meditation space.
