John Griswold\u2019s Annotations and Chronologies for Ian Fleming\u2019s James Bond<\/em> is useful tome for determining the location of James Bond\u2019s home. In fact, Bond\u2019s Chelsea flat can be discerned from descriptions of a few books but the biggest hints come from Moonraker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

James Bond\u2019s real life Chelsea apartment is not exactly like the one we have seen in Spectre<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

James Bond\u2019s Fictional Chelsea Home for Sale \u00a36.85 million<\/h2>\n

Notably, author Fleming had a tendency to refer to real life locations and locales for his avatar\u2019s exploits and it appears that following Bond\u2019s choice of roads to get home, our secret agent lives on none other than a fairly exclusive piece of London luxury real estate<\/a> \u2013\u00a0 Royal Avenue. Icing on cake, James Bond\u2019s Chelsea flat is now for sale.<\/p>\n

Currently listed by Strutt and Parker for\u00a0\u00a36.85 million, James Bond\u2019s home is a real life five-bedder on Royal Avenue, London, complete with the plane of trees and broad windows as described in the book.<\/p>\n

\n

A stunning five bedroom Grade II listed Freehold house located on a prime Chelsea square, and extending to some 3,000 square feet,\u2019 \u2013\u00a0Strutt and Parker\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Situated off King\u0092s Road, within reach of Sloane Square and Sloane Street, James Bond\u2019s flat is also located near the gardens and tennis courts of Burton Court. Unfortunately, that potential work-out spot is likely the only draw for secret agent wannabes because the Royal Avenue five bedroom Grade II listed freehold Chelsea house is currently designed more like a family domicile than an apartment for a swinging bachelor and his string of one night stands.<\/p>\n

Historically designed by Sir Christopher Wren on behalf of William III in the 1690\u0092s as part of a proposed carriageway linking the Royal Hospital to Kensington Palace, the Chelsea flat recreates period elegance with quality finishing.<\/p>\n

More importantly, it offers a classic first floor drawing room with high ceilings and views similar to what Mr. Bond might have seen, over Royal Avenue. While the five bedroom apartment comes with many rooms including four reception areas courtesy of open plan dining room to sitting room, two terraces and courtyard and even a cloakroom, there\u2019s no parking for your Aston Martin.<\/p>\n
