You could be neighbors with Paul McCartney - after a home on his street hit the market for £3.6million (nearly $5 million).
The house is in the heart of St Johns Wood, north London, and only costs a fraction of the street’s typical asking price.
The home is situated in Cavendish Avenue, which is one of London’s most in-demand roads, where houses rarely come up for sale.

Set over four floors, this eight-bedroom house is hitting the market for the first time in over 30 years.
Music legend Sir Paul bought his own house on Cavendish Avenue for £40,000 in 1965, which remains his home to this day.
The average sold price of houses on the road in the last five years is £6.925 million, according to the Land Registry’s figures, making this a steal for anyone wanting to get the sought-after address.
Estate agents Robert Irving Burns (RIB) described the property as “in need of modernisation” with the design reminiscent of when it was built in 1969.

Lee Koffman, director of RIB, said that the home is a chance to “buy the worst house on the best street,"- making it perfect for anyone willing to do renovations.
The description reads: "An end of terrace family house, situated in this highly sought after road in the very heart of St Johns Wood.
"Although in need of modernisation, there is an opportunity for an incoming purchaser to create a superb family home, using their own vision, specification and design."

The 2,487 square foot home has a kitchen and breakfast area downstairs and a reception room on the first floor.
It also comes with off-street parking for two cars, set behind security gates and a large rear garden.
