Pied-à-terre is a French word. It is defined by dictionary.cambridge.org as "A small house or apartment in a city that you own or rent in addition to your main home, where you stay when visiting that city for a short time." This posh loft happens to be Tom Cruise' former pied-à-terre in London.
Converting the price to American dollars, it would be worth more than $54 million. What's in this house that's making it expensive? Probably due to many things and one of the reasons is its location. The penthouse is situated on the entire top floor of a historic building in Knightsbridge, one of London's most exclusive neighborhoods as stated in a report by elledecor.com.

Large couches face the balcony and unto the great Hyde Park skyline. Exquisite decor and other ornamentals add glamour to the whole room as well.
Everything about this home is classic and timeless. According to elledecor.com, "After Cruise moved out, the penthouse was polished with a Great Gatsby-inspired makeover, along with a mirror-lined ceilings, black oak parquet floors, and a Swarovski crystal-lined bar."
The master's bedroom is big, classy and comfortable. Large windows and retractable walls gives direct access to the veranda. The walls are painted in all white.
