      The 3,927-sqft property, which is nestled between two of the most sought-after addresses in London, has an eye-watering price tag of £11.95m.
      Sitting behind the home’s original façade is five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
      But, what’s also sitting behind that brick and wood façade is a gym, steam room, integrated Sonos sound system, cinema room, private terrace and wine display wall.
      There is a dining room with a retractable skylight, seeing it transform from indoors to al fresco in an instant, too.

      The home also boasts a fireplace in every room, and space to park three cars with outdoor parking and a garage.
      The sprawling house, which is mostly decorated with white, black, and reds, also has a pizza oven and living wall off the master suite.
      Dein has owned the home since 2010 and had many renovations undertaken in that time to create the mansion it is today.
      Charlie Gibson, the chief executive of Oliver Bernard Private which is selling the property, said: “The owner refurbished the home to an LA style of living where it is really open planned.

      “They have put in things like a pizza oven, which I have never seen in a Mayfair house.
      “The owner is also a huge gardening fan, so she has a created a living wall which is such a great feature.”
      Mr Gibson said: “It is almost impossible to get a garage in this area, but this has got a car stacker for two cars and you can park a car outside your mews.
      “You’ve only got three streets with mews houses in Mayfair, so if you get internationals who like mews houses, which a lot of them do as they are so quintessentially English, you’ve only got a few places in Mayfair you can get them.”
      Dein was vice chairman of Arsenal from 1983-2007.
      During these 24 years, Dein appointed Arsene Wenger, celebrated 18 trophy wins, and oversaw the team’s invincible season of 2003/2004.

      The successful British businessman also played a key role in the creation of the Premier League back in 1992 and was awarded with an MBE in 2019 for his services to football and charity.
      Last month Dein revealed he was being snubbed by old club, who refused to stock his new book in their shop.

      The couple, both 36, quietly put it on the market earlier this year.
      According to Land Registry documents, it sold for £3.7million in May — five months after they moved into a £20million six-bed mega-mansion 30 miles away in the Cheshire countryside.
      A source said: “They were sad to sell it but their new house is so amazing they had no reason to keep it.”
      Their old three-storey home, in Prestbury, Cheshire, boasts a pool, gym, spa bath and cinema.

      It has a five-a-side football pitch where Wayne enjoyed kickabouts with sons Kai, 12, Klay, eight, Kit, six, and four-year-old Cass.
      The house sits in a secluded lane and is protected by an imposing perimeter fence and CCTV cameras linked to a 24-hour security team.
      Ex-England football captain Wayne is living in the US — where he is manager at D.C. United.
      Meanwhile Coleen has stayed in the UK with their boys.
