Enjoy a tranquil stay in this glorious family home, situated in a tranquil crescent in North London's leafy Muswell Hill. The interior blends elegant mid-century design with contemporary style to create an irresistible combination that manages to be both practical and chic at the same time – no mean feat. The highlight of the ground floor is the open living/dining room. Here, you're welcome to claim a spot on the comfy corner sofa in front of the TV and tuck into sumptuous homecooked meals at the eight-person dining table. Make the most of warm summer days and dine outdoors on the patio, making the most of that all-too-rare of London amenities – private outdoor space. The compact garden is ideal for keeping an eye on little ones, while older children will undoubtedly appreciate the proximity to the 24-acre Muswell Hill Playing Fields – accessed through a gate at the end of the garden. On the upper floors, the home boasts three king-size bedrooms and a couple of singles. Each individually decorated room features eye-catching artwork by the likes of Keith Haring, plus some cheeky wire signage. The family-friendly nature of the neighbourhood makes for a quiet night's sleep. Step out, and bustling... Muswell Hill Broadway is a little over a mile away – with its boho shops, trendy restaurants, cool cafes and an art deco cinema, there's truly something for everyone. Elsewhere, the billionaires' row of Bishops Avenue is an eight-minute Uber ride away. At the same time, Alexandra Palace offers plenty of entertainment options no more than half an hour away on foot. If the view from Ally Pally over London has whetted your appetite to see the sights, it's an easy journey on the Northern Line from nearby East Finchley station.
