A replica of the Oval Office in a posh London flat that just sold for $181 million puts a new shape on working from home.
The famous look alike space is in an apartment where patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy served as US ambassador in the late 1930s. Kennedy, the father of President John F. Kennedy, built the replica in 1938, his first year on the job, CNN reported.
Kennedy added the office at the back of his home, though the Oval Office now is in front — with higher ceilings but the same neo-Georgian façade.
An unidentified buyer plans to combine the top-floor pad and two others on the story below to create a 15,600-square-foot space, according to real estate developer Lodha UK, which handled the sale in the former US Embassy building at No. 10 Grosvenor Square.
The square, in the pricey Mayfair neighborhood, was where John Adams lived when he was US ambassador in 1785.
