Christine McVie’s London penthouse has been listed for sale more than two years after her death.
The late Fleetwood Mac keyboardist and vocalist — who died in November 2022 at age 79 — purchased the home in the Belgravia neighborhood of London in 2015, according to a press release from the listing agency, Beauchamp Estates.
McVie began spending more time in London after re-joining the rock band in 2014, prompting her to put down roots there and sell her estate in Kent, England, according to the release. She renovated the property shortly after purchasing it, including updating the flooring in the reception room and redesigning the kitchen.
Located on Eaton Place, the duplex includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and is spread out across 2,674 square feet. It is currently on the market for $8.9 million.
The property boasts a number of impressive amenities, including marble fireplaces, 9.5-foot-high ceilings, and a private terrace and roof garden.
“Offering elevated living on Eaton Place, the London penthouse of the late Christine McVie of legendary British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac provides privacy and security,” says Gary Hersham, Founding Director of Beauchamp Estates.
After her death, McVie’s artwork and other belongings in the penthouse were auctioned in Nashville by Julien’s Auctions, “with the proceeds benefiting MusiCares and other music-related charities,” according to the release.
McVie died on Nov. 30, 2022 “following a short illness,” her family announced on social media at the time. She was surrounded by family when she died “peacefully” at the hospital, according to the post.
“We kindly ask that you respect the family’s privacy at this extremely painful time, and we would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being, and revered musician who was loved universally,” the announcement continued.
It was later revealed that she died of an ischemic stroke and metastatic cancer, according to her death certificate obtained by PEOPLE in April 2023.

McVie was born in the British village of Bouth in July 1943. She came from a musical family, as her dad Cyril was a concert violinist and music lecturer at a local school, and her grandfather played the organ in Westminster Abbey.
She married Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie in 1968, and joined the band two years later. The former couple divorced in 1976 but remained friendly bandmates. She later married keyboardist Eddy Quintela in 1986, and the pair split in 2003.
The musician was key to the band’s signature sound that fans know and love. She made significant contributions to their 1977 album Rumours — one of the best-selling records of all time — including “Don’t Stop,” “Songbird,” “Oh Daddy” and “You Make Loving Fun.”
While she took a break from the band after leaving in 1998, McVie officially re-joined in 2014 and later went on several lengthy tours with her bandmates John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks.
