Margaret Thatcher's home up for sale for $44 million


The London home of late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Chester Square has been put on the market for 30 million pounds ($44 million), estate agent Savills announced in a news release.Situated in one of London's most desirable locations, the house hosted Margaret Thatcher from 1991 until she died. "Such an eminent and rare property, in terms of location, renovation and history, No. 73 will have a truly widespread appeal to any buyer at this level of the market looking for an exceptional London home. If only the walls could talk, one could almost imagine [late United States President] Ronald Reagan and other heads of state sitting with Baroness Thatcher in her dining room," Richard Gutteridge, head of the Savills Sloane Street office said in the statement.The house's first floor features a drawing room and library, said to have been the favorite place of the Iron Lady. The second floor comprises a large double bedroom, dressing area and master bathroom. There are a further five bedrooms within the property, including an option for staff accommodation. Margaret Thatcher died of a stroke in 2013 at the age of 87.
