\n\tFresh off her starring role in the\u00a0Wicked\u00a0movies, Ariana Grande\u2019s former London<\/a> pied-\u00e0-terre is making headlines of its own.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile filming the blockbuster musical, the pop star holed up at Buxmead, an ultra-private apartment complex on London\u2019s famous \u201cBillionaires\u2019 Row,\u201d which includes 2.5 acres of gardens. The massive top-floor penthouse<\/a>, spanning nearly 9,700 square feet, served as her personal refuge from the spotlight. Real estate<\/a> agents say Grande chose the spot because it was close to Elstree Studios, where\u00a0Wicked\u00a0was filmed, and offered private gym and studio spaces where she could work out and rehearse away from everyone else.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe penthouse wasn\u2019t always this A-lister ready, though. In 2019, property investor Dean Main bought it as an empty shell and undertook a meticulous three-year renovation to transform it into a glamorous escape. Designed for both entertaining and relaxing, floor-to-ceiling glass walls open up to a 360-degree terrace with stunning views over Hampstead<\/a> Heath. The main floor holds a massive living room, a formal dining area, a bar, a TV lounge, a kitchen, and a primary bedroom suite with two walk-in closets.<\/p>\n

\n\tA private elevator travels downstairs to the lower level, where there is a movie theater, a game room, a home office, a private gym, a second kitchen, and several guest rooms. There\u2019s also a private six-car underground garage. \u201cI genuinely believe the penthouse at Buxmead is a rare piece of real estate, and in my view, the best penthouse currently available in North West London,\u201d says co-listing agent Alexander Main, founder of the brokerage Alexander Main.<\/p>\n

\n\tLiving at Buxmead comes with a slew of perks, including concierge and housekeeping services. Residents share 15,000 square feet of amenities, including a 25-meter indoor pool, a spa, a professional gym, and an 18-seat theater. \u201cWhat really defines Buxmead is its reputation,\u201d adds broker Becky Fatemi, executive partner at United Kingdom Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. \u201cIt has quietly become known as London\u2019s residential Fort Knox, and that level of security and discretion is incredibly difficult to replicate. It attracts global individuals who want to live well without being seen.\u201d The price tag for this ultimate privacy is 16.95 million pounds, around\u00a0$22.8 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n
