Historic house where Joseph Mallord William Turner lived and worked is up for sale

In London's posh Chelsea, a historic house where the famous landscape artist Joseph Mallord William Turner lived, worked and died, has come to the market for 11 million US $13.3 million. More than 300 year old spectacular and imposing property was Turner's home in the mid- 1800s.

The British artist, known for his dreamy, often nautical watercolor paintings - including plenty of the Thames - has works displayed around the world, including in London's Tate Gallery, New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. His most recent painting sold was The German Landscape of Ehrenbreitstein, which was traded at auction for 18.5 million in 2017.

The 5,200-square-foot spread has eight bedrooms and is chock full of period features, from the hallway ceiling and parquet flooring to the vaulted main reception room and fireplaces, according to the listing with estate agency Carter Jonas, who brought the place to the market in January.

There are also multiple reception rooms, two kitchens, a formal dining room, a library, several dressing rooms, balconies, patio gardens and rumor has it that some of the roofline embellishments were put there by Turner, who used the roof as a place to work from.

Samuel Richardson, the head of Carter Jonas Mayfair, said the house is a real gem with an extraordinary past. It is extremely rare for a home of this magnitude to be available on the open market.

Homes with history will always be distinctive, he said. Cheyne Walk is one of a kind. The storied house is situated on an equally storied street that runs alongside the Thames.

The former residents of Cheyne Walk have included the pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who lived at No. 16 where he was banned from keeping peacocks because they made too much noise, engineer Sir Marc Brunel lived at No. Sylvia Pankhurst, a suffragette, lived at No. 98. Two Rolling Stones members called the street home: Keith Richards lived at No. Mick Jagger was at No. 3 and Mick Jagger was at No. The property records don't detail how much the owner, who couldn't be reached for comment, paid for the home.
