Cozy 7BR w/Nightclub, Armor-Plated Front Door, £35Mby Zoe Strimpel
An Israeli diamond magnate has bought what is believed to be the most expensive newly built house ever sold in the UK. Lev Leviev, originally from Uzbekistan, reportedly paid £35 million for the seven-bedroom home in London's ritzy, famously Jewish Hampstead, which he will inhabit with his wife, Olga, and two of their nine children. What makes this pad so sweet, then? Well, the indoor, mosaic-tiled pool; cinema; gym and steam room; salon, and nightclub might be part of it. Then there's the armor-plated front door and the £750,000 stone staircase, carved in the centuries-old manner of the finest of French chateaux. Just finding out about this property cost more than most people have on hand. To obtain the £1,000 information pamphlet about the house, called Palladio, potential buyers had to provide references from lawyers and banks. What the Levievs will do with the house's nightclub feature is anybody's guess. Hampstead isn't exactly an area with neighbors likely to tolerate thumping parties. But of course, soundproofing costs nothing when money's no object.
