\n\tIf celebrated English architect John Nash were alive today, he\u2019d likely raise a glass at the transformation that\u2019s taken place behind one of his most elegant London<\/a> fa\u00e7ades.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the edge of Regent\u2019s Park, tucked into the prestigious Cornwall Terrace, a seven-bedroom, six-bathroom home has hit the market for a cool \u00a334.75 million (about $46 million<\/a>). But this isn\u2019t just another Grade I-listed beauty coasting on its heritage cred. This is a full-scale architectural reinvention for a modern lifestyle tucked behind a fa\u00e7ade first conceived by the master of Regency London himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1811, the Prince Regent (soon to become King George IV) tapped Nash to turn what was once a royal hunting estate into a grand urban park\u2014a sanctuary of curated greenery, sweeping terraces, and palatial villas. Nash laid the plans, and his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Decimus Burton brought them to life, including the now-iconic Cornwall Terrace. The result? A corner of the British capital that has remained one of the city\u2019s most coveted addresses for over two centuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tFast forward to today, and this particular Cornwall Terrace mansion is anything but stuck in the past. Acquired from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in 2012, the residence has undergone a complete internal reinvention. Every square inch of the original interior was stripped away. Floor levels were repositioned, a brand-new core was inserted, and extensive soundproofing was integrated throughout\u2014all in the name of creating a modern, flowing layout that doesn\u2019t just nod to 21st-century living but embraces it fully.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe main bedroom occupies an entire floor of the five-floor main home and includes two lavish bathrooms and two huge dressing rooms. There are four more bedrooms on the top floor and another one tucked down in the basement. The pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance? A private rooftop garden, something no other home on Cornwall Terrace can claim. Meticulously engineered into the restructured footprint of the house, it offers panoramic views over Regent\u2019s Park\u2019s lake.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s the first modernized property on Cornwall Terrace in nearly a decade, says Knight Frank.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe roughly 8,500-square-foot home also includes interiors designed for comfort and elegance, a lift to all floors, and a separate mews house with a single-car garage and two-bedroom apartment, making it \u201cone of London\u2019s most outstanding residential opportunities,\u201d according to Knight Frank\u2019s Declan Selbo.<\/p>\n

\n\tStephen Lindsay of Savills St. John\u2019s Wood agrees, noting that turnkey properties with multi-generational flexibility like this one are exactly what today\u2019s global elite are hunting for. \u201cIt\u2019s a trophy property in a world-class location,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd it\u2019s moments from Marylebone Village and the West End.\u201d So while the Nash fa\u00e7ade may speak of 19th-century grandeur, the lifestyle behind it is very much of the now.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
