2077 special taste
This is still Kensington, and it is only a few blocks away from Chelsea, which can be reached on foot. Green Park, Hyde Park and a series of museums can also be reached by walking; in fact, the distance Buckingham Palace is only a fifteen-minute drive away.
This area is not only the area with the highest concentration of rich people and elites in the entire city of London, but it is also the area with the most expensive housing prices in the entire city. When the housing prices in other areas of London have begun to decline more or less due to economic impact, , only here is still rising steadily.
The Dunlop family's urban residence—the place where Renly arrived when he first returned to London, Renly's personal apartment in Knightsbridge, and Arthur's current personal residence in London, etc., are all located in this area. It is an area where London's elites are most concentrated..
Now, Renly's private residence in London has also been purchased here..
The gray-white walls and jet-black door panels are hidden in the gloom of London, revealing a solemn and calm temperament; Victorian-style window lattice, gold-copper door bolts, bright red mailbox, sharp fence, these Small details outline the unique historical heritage of Kensington. These buildings experienced the artillery fire of World War I and the bombing of World War II, successfully escaped the damage and destruction of those catastrophes, and now have become the symbol of the city. Witnesses record the traces of those years and time, injecting an irreplaceable unique quality into this place..
A Gothic-style black fence was erected outside the green small garden. The ivy vines climbed wildly and crazily all over the corners of the fence, erecting a natural barrier to isolate the house from the street. Get rid of the peeping eyes of those who try to covet the scenery inside the house.
Judging from the exterior walls alone, you couldn't detect much that was special about it. It seemed no different from the townhouses on the entire street, but Renly fell in love with it at first sight..
Because of the row of trees behind him, the garden in front of him, and the green that filled his eyes, it vaguely revealed an ordinary and simple warmth. It was not a palace or castle, but a safe harbor for him to live in. His footsteps willing to stop here.
Philip opened the car door for Renly, and then Renly stood next to the car door, gently nodding towards Matthew at the door, with a slight smile on his lips, "Hey, I'm home..”
Matthew stared at Renly expressionlessly and complained mercilessly, "It took so long..”
Renly couldn't help but burst out laughing..
Matthew then cast his gaze behind Renly and glanced, "Why did you come back with your tail?"？”
Without looking back, Renly knew that Matthew must be talking about the paparazzi, "Hey, this is London, and they are the kings who rule this land, okay?" Even members of the royal family cannot resist the pervasive penetration of the paparazzi. , "I never expect that they will never know where I live. This is an impossible task. Instead of this, it is better to be more generous..”
“……Then they started stationed at the door." Matthew complained mercilessly..
Renly also laughed, "Like New York? In fact, Andy is also trying to persuade me to move to the Upper East Side, or Long Island, but unless it is a single-family villa, between the main house and the road Set up layers of protective forests, otherwise you still won’t be able to get rid of the paparazzi..”
“Nowadays, there are almost no paparazzi in front of the apartments in New York, because they know that you don’t stay there a few times throughout the year, and even the apartments in Los Angeles seem to be more lively.” Matthew kindly “corrected” Renly’s mistake..
As a result, Renly said, "Wait, are you expecting the paparazzi, or are you rejecting it?"？”
Matthew glared at Renly speechlessly..
Renly pointed in the direction behind him without hesitation, "Do you need me to introduce you to you?"？”
“No, thank you." Matthew simply refused..
Renly shrugged, "I think so." Then he took steps towards the house in front of him, looking into Matthew's eyes with a smile on his face, "How about it, do I have the honor to invite you to take care of me? tour guide？”
Matthew did not answer, but took a half step back, opened the door, and made an inviting gesture. After waiting for Renly to enter the house, he nodded to Phillip and said, "Thank you for your hard work.".”
Phillip gave up his position and said, "Master Matthew, please." This means that he will finish the follow-up, and now Matthew can go in first..
Matthew did not refuse, nodded again, and then followed Renly into the house, only to find that Renly was standing at the entrance and did not go in, "What happened?"？”
Renly didn't speak, he just stood there quietly, waiting for Matthew to stand side by side with him, looking forward at the house in front of him..
In fact, this is a typical British residential building, a two-story composite structure. There is almost nothing special in the entrance. It is just a straight corridor. On the right hand side is the staircase leading to the second floor. Directly in front is the staircase leading to the bottom. It's the kitchen. This is all you can see in the entrance area..
But Renly still stopped and stopped here..
You can't see much in the entrance corridor, but you can still taste the difference. Close to the outer wall of the stairs, you can see a maroon closet..
Near the door is a desk with an emerald green antique vase with a bouquet of flowers placed in it. Next to it is a glass bowl of the same series with a few scattered keys randomly thrown inside; then You can also see today's fresh copies of The Times and The Guardian stacked on the side..
Near the kitchen is a bookcase with a large number of books neatly stacked inside. Even if you don’t go to the front of the bookcase, you can see the bookshelf with the side shadow, which makes people want to stop and take a closer look. Read it freely, slow down the pace and wander in the sea of books..
Although you have not yet entered the house, you can feel a unique charm and a sense of approachability just in the entrance hall..
“Do you remember Ruth's first feeling after boarding the ship in 'Titanic'? "Renly said..
Matthew glanced at Renly and said helplessly, "No. I don't like movies that much, remember?？”
This made Renly laugh happily, and no longer deliberately pretended, "She said, it has been eighty-four years, and I can still smell the smell of paint. The china is brand new, and the sheets have never been used. , the Titanic was called the 'dream ship', and it lived up to its name.”
Phillip also walked in and stood at the entrance with his hands crossed, watching Renly's back quietly..
The words were cut off at this point. Renly did not continue speaking, but the hidden meaning could not be clearer. This made both Matthew and Philip fall silent. The sound of drizzle outside the window had a moving rhythm. , the atmosphere became faintly peaceful and full of joy.
Then Renly's voice sounded again, "Well, now this place is filled with the smell of Matthew.".”
Matthew's head was covered with black lines, "This means a state of dissatisfaction."？”
“Satisfied, very satisfied, very satisfied, how could it be possible to be dissatisfied? "Renly said in panic, repeating the same meaning over and over again to express his unswerving attitude, "In fact, I think this is the taste of home, just like New York." Matthew looked at him and took it back. Looking at him, Renly wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out an exaggerated sigh. His childish look made Philip standing behind him couldn't help but smile..
“The first floor is the living room? "Renly finally took a step forward and walked in along the entrance corridor. Matthew also followed suit and made introductions..
On the left side of the corridor on the first floor is the living room, which is mainly smoky grey, azure and dark gray, with occasional touches of off-white and tender green, instantly lighting up the quiet and generous space, but the simple and neat interior decoration is Invisibly making the entire space deeper and further, enhancing the visual effect.
On the right is the study room, which is mainly in brown maroon, dark red and light gray. The iron blue and ivory white trimmings brighten up the entire reading space. Mosaic fragments splicing table lamps, dark brown log desks, smoky gray linen sofas and The burgundy carpet creates a calm reading environment.
Go through the entrance corridor to the kitchen, and then you can see the dining room connected to the kitchen, connected to the spacious porch and backyard, there are three other small rooms and a storage warehouse, full of green in minimalist milky white and lemon The yellow color became alive, and it seemed that even the air could catch the vigorous vitality that was jumping..
The entire decoration design continues the clean and sophisticated industrial style. There are not too many complicated designs, but a bit of retro style is created through the superposition of details such as table lamps, desks, curtains, etc., showing the rich heritage; but for laymen, it is not even possible. Notice anything strange：
I always feel like something is awesome but I can’t pinpoint it, and then I feel like maybe it’s really not that awesome..
Go from the first floor to the second floor and then enter the bedroom area.
A master bedroom, six guest rooms, three public bathrooms, a studio and a smoking room/rumpus room make full use of all the floor space to create a unique private residence..
The overall size is slightly smaller than Matthew's villa next to Green Park, but it is basically of the same level, with a total area of 4,800 square feet (455 square meters) - certainly not comparable to manors and castles. Comparable, but as a family's urban base, there is no problem at all..
The market price of such a house is only 3.3 million pounds. For the Hall family in the past, this was an expense that they could not afford; but for Renly now, it is not a problem at all. Matthew After the decision was made to purchase, the decoration and renovation work was completed on the basis of the original residence, and it finally took on the appearance that Renly sees now..
This also means that "Renly Hall" also has a base in London. Can this be regarded as the rise of a new family?？
