Mansion on Smolensky Boulevard 11

A two-story mansion with a basement on Smolensky Boulevard in the Khamovniki district. The renovated facade features elements of early 19th-century classical architecture, such as narrow tall windows with muntins, keystones above the windows, a rounded corner, a crenellated cornice, and a balustrade on the roof. Inside, there is a mixed-use layout with office-style finishes. Modern utility and air conditioning systems have been installed. There is spontaneous parking in front of the building. The mansion is suitable for an office, a business center, a hotel, or a medical center.

The building is located on the first line of The Garden Ring Road, ensuring high pedestrian and vehicle traffic. It is surrounded by government institutions, major company offices, mansions, museums, and restaurants. Within walking distance are the Devichye Polye Park, Zurab Tsereteli Art Gallery, and the Moscow River Embankment. The mansion offers convenient access to Zubovskaya Street. The Boulevard Ring Road is a 7-minute drive away, while The Third Ring Road can be reached in 9 minutes by car. The nearest metro stations, Park Kultury and Smolenskaya, are a 12-minute walk away.

The mansion was built on the site where the Royal Stables and the Palace Sloboda once stood. It was later owned by private individuals, many of whom were prominent historical figures. In the 18th century, the Decembrist Vasily Norsov was born and lived here. The mansion later belonged to Nikolai Vsevolozhsky, a statesman and historian. In 1875, the building was purchased by the noble Lvov family, who were interested in spiritualist séances. Leo Tolstoy attended one of these séances, which inspired his book 'The Fruits of Enlightenment'. In 1907, the mansion burnt down but was restored by architect Nikolai Zherikov. The building is now recognised as a cultural heritage site.
