Some homes just have something extra you cannot quite put your finger on until you are actually standing inside. That is what happened when I walked into this three bedroom duplex at Sherlock Mews on Baker Street in Marylebone. The whole place made me want to pause for a second. Even just hearing Baker Street out loud gives a certain feeling. Maybe that is because it is such a famous street with its own history and stories or maybe it is the fact that Marylebone itself has one of the warmest and most welcoming neighbourhood moods in all of London. Honestly you can just sense it walking around.
This apartment is the last duplex left in Sherlock Mews. There is a kind of excitement in that too since it really is not just another box in the city. When I first came up the private entrance the carport on the ground floor actually felt like a real convenience especially if you have a car and do not want to worry about street parking or the weather. You come home with arms full of groceries or shopping bags from one of those great boutiques nearby and do not have to think twice about where you will put everything. It just feels easy.
Walk up once and you hit the living room which has enough sunlight spilling through the windows to make you want to stop by the window for a bit. I watched a few pigeons outside and honestly I could see myself having slow mornings here with a cup of coffee and just letting the city wake up around me. The dining area is set close by so you do not have to call everyone over when it is time to eat. The kitchen is open enough that you can talk while you chop or read the news at the breakfast counter. It feels like a space you would actually cook in not just reheat something quickly and the counters are tucked into just the right spot so you can leave a bowl of fruit out or a cookbook open if that is your thing.
All three bedrooms are right up at the top. These all have their own en suite bathrooms I mean real privacy plus all the built in closet space you could want. I kept thinking it would be easy to start fresh here no clutter since the storage is just there. Every bedroom has its own look out and I can imagine a mix of quiet evenings here with the city noises just enough in the background to remind you you are in Central London. Some days you might just stay in and some days you might walk down to Regent's Park or maybe Hyde Park just because you are that close and it would not feel like an effort. Sometimes you see parents walking with prams or couples heading out for breakfast on the weekends. It is that kind of area where the streets feel lived in and every corner has a favourite spot. Baker Street is famous for Sherlock Holmes but honestly the real life around here is what makes it special. There are restaurants people actually go back to not just pass through. The museums and galleries have a kind of easygoing atmosphere where you do not feel rushed. On certain mornings there are little markets and you pick up bread you did not plan to buy but are glad you did.
One of the best parts for anyone thinking long term is the handover is expected fairly soon. You spend a little now and the rest at handover so you have some time to settle plans. It takes the pressure off a bit. The community itself just feels steady. It is refined you will notice but also low key. Not showy. That is what you get with Marylebone and really Sherlock Mews itself. Standing inside this duplex I kept thinking this is the kind of home you grow into without having to try too hard.
