Penthouse in boutique London development

Some homes just have that something, right when you walk in. This three bedroom penthouse at 98 Baker Street up at the quieter end of Marylebone is definitely like that. Sometimes I remember the first time I opened the front door here. Everything just takes a breath. It is not easy to find a penthouse like this in central London where you feel the history of the place but also get all the fresh open space people talk about when they dream of a modern home in the city. From the start, light pours through these tall windows and you do not get that boxed in feeling you get with other top floor properties. The city is outside, you can catch that low London buzz when you want, but honestly the peace you get inside is something different.

The living space here is wide and open plan, the kind where you start imagining how you would actually use it. I looked around and pictured a big sofa in one corner and maybe a table just under the window for lazy Saturday breakfasts or working from home without feeling closed off. You have these soft neutral colours on the walls and floors so you really end up thinking about which parts of your own life you would want to bring in. It makes the place feel ready and waiting instead of asking you to fit someone else's idea of perfect. On a slow morning the sounds of London almost seem to drift up rather than pour in. It just feels easy, if that makes sense.

One thing I really liked was the Italian kitchen. It is not one of those kitchens that looks amazing in the brochure but you never end up using. It actually feels just right for making supper with the windows open or standing with a mug of tea after a late night. You have built in appliances to make life easy and it all feels pretty seamless so tidying up will not take much effort. Sometimes new builds go a bit overboard but here you get quality without any fuss.

When it is time to wind down the bedrooms are what struck me most. Each one has these smart in built wardrobes with LED lights so you actually see what you own for once. I walked into the main bedroom and had that feeling of relief that only comes from real space. You are not having to edge around the end of the bed or squeeze by the closet. It feels private and a bit tucked away from the world. Actually every bedroom has that same calm and privacy so you can imagine shutting the door and just recharging after a day out in London.

The rooftop terrace is the kind of spot you sometimes only see in photos, but here you get it for real. It is private, not overlooked, and you get this pretty unique view over rooftops with just enough city energy in the background. It is the sort of place you end up with friends on a warm night, or on your own with music and a book when things are calmer. Even better, there is a sauna space right up here too. After a busy London week or when the weather turns, that spot is going to be a favourite. Only eight homes in this boutique development and just the single penthouse up top, so you get the feeling you are not just another face in the building.

You step outside and realise you are right in Marylebone. I love how you can walk out and in a few minutes you are grabbing coffee in one of those local cafes people talk about. Some evenings I have seen kids duck into the corner bookshop. Regent's Park is just a wander away if you need some green space. Friends coming to visit will not have long waits since Baker Street station is honestly just down the street.

A penthouse like this blends classic Marylebone character with easy city living you do not have to overthink. Sometimes you even forget to look at your phone and that is rare these days.
