Andy Murray’s been house hunting in London for a while, and he finally bought something.
For whatever bizarre reason he’s picked the days just before Wimbledon to move into his new crib.
Granted, it was like Britain’s golden boy was dragging a couch down a four-story walk-up with some buddies on the promise of beer and pizza, but you have to admit that the dude has timing cajones.
Murray’s moved out of his sparsely furnished riverside apartment and is moving on up in style and in with his girlfriend Kim Sears, who’s been assigned the task of organizing while he’s out hitting yellow flannels.
The new digs are nothing to scoff at. It’s an 11,000 sq ft new gated family house that was just finished this winter. It features seven reception areas; the master bedroom suite comes complete with his and hers dressing areas, seating/TV area, a Juliette balcony. There are five further double bedrooms, six bathrooms, a nanny suite ((cough)), an indoor swimming pool with jacuzzi, sauna, and a gymnasium that overlooks the pool, a library and a movie theater.
This is big step up for the 21 year old Muzzah. The junk the movers pulled out of his apartment included “a huge cuddly toy versions of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore, a Space Invaders arcade machine, several PlayStations and a Team GB bag”.
If you think you should pop in to see Kim and Andy for tea or stalking, be aware that it’s rigged with a state-of-the-art security system, featuring video entry. Fortunately the police are used to coming by.
So how does Andy Murray get ready for Wimbledon? By moving house, of course [Daily Mail]
