hristine McVie’s London penthouse, sold three years after her passing, changed hands for $9.26 million. A young European couple, spotted in the listing’s buzz during their house hunt, emerged as the winning bidders, offering the full asking price. The two‑story, 2,674‑sq‑ft penthouse sits in Belgravia and boasts a private roof terrace. McVie, who bought the property in 2015, had refreshed the three‑bedroom home, a fact highlighted in the March photos that were taken before her personal effects were auctioned for charity.
The residence features light oak parquet in the main reception room, a bespoke kitchen with a breakfast bar and yellow tiles, and vaulted ceilings crowned by marble fireplaces. McVie’s eclectic décor—European and Asian art, teddy bears, miniature pianos, and stitched pillows bearing her dogs’ names—added a personal touch to the classic style. The living room, dining area, and two large lower‑level reception rooms were especially noted by the new owners, who also appreciated the expansive roof garden where McVie once entertained outdoors.
McVie, who died of a stroke in 2022 at 79, joined Fleetwood Mac in 1970 and penned classics such as “Don’t Stop,” “Everywhere,” “Little Lies,” and “Songbird.” Her solo work yielded three studio albums and a duet project with Lindsey Buckingham. The news of her death sparked worldwide tributes; Stevie Nicks remarked in Mojo that “there’s no Fleetwood Mac without Christine,” underscoring her irreplaceable role.
The listing attracted significant media attention. Beauchamp Estates’ Rosy Khalastchy noted that the property was presented in immaculate condition, sparking a wave of social media and traditional coverage. McVie’s art collection, which she auctioned for charity, was prominently displayed in the listing photos.
In summary, the penthouse’s sale reflects both the enduring legacy of a beloved musician and the allure of a meticulously restored Belgravia home. The new owners have already earmarked their favorite spaces, echoing McVie’s own fondness for the lower‑level rooms and the rooftop terrace.
