A five-bedroom townhouse in the posh Mayfair neighborhood of London that was formerly owned by Beatles manager Brian Epstein has hit the market for $10.76 million. The band members also famously hid out in the 3,800-square-foot Charles Street mansion’s adjacent mews house during the height of Beatlemania, when adoring fans had staked out their own homes.
The Georgian home, which was built in the mid-18th century, was first used by Epstein as his home, then later as his office where he ran an early iteration of Apple Corps, a company that protected the band’s interests. Epstein, sometimes known as the "Fifth Beatle," managed the band from 1961 until his accidental overdose death in 1967.
After Apple Corps moved its headquarters to Savile Row, Norman St John-Stevas, Lord St. John of Fawsley, a member of Margaret Thatcher’s cabinet, moved into the home. The outside of the six-story home is made of brown brick and stucco with sash windows and a black wrought iron fence. The interior includes parquet flooring, plaster paneling, cornicing, gilded ceiling motifs and multiple fireplaces.
