London CNN —The former London home of rock legend Freddie Mercury is available to buy – that is, for those with a cool £30 million ($38 million) to spare.
The property was bought by Mercury on the spot when he first visited it in 1980, according to Knight Frank, which is handling the sale.
In this spirit, the dining room was painted citrus-yellow, reportedly Mercury’s favorite color, with complementary jewel tones in the cornices of the room.
The property’s principal suite is entered through what used to be Mercury’s dressing room, where he stored his clothes and stage costumes.
After more than 30 years taking care of them, Austin, now 72, auctioned about 1,400 of Mercury’s belongings last year, and is now looking to sell Garden Lodge for offers in excess of £30 million ($38 million), according to Knight Frank.
