It’s possibly the world’s priciest one-bedroom penthouse – in Tokyo Japan – with a JPY 1,800,000,000 ($21 million) price tag.

The luxury penthouse, located in the Minami-Azabu district neighbourhood, is listed through Sotheby’s International Realty. It is known as Tokyo's most expensive upscale residential district.

The 440-square-metre apartment comes with Parisian-style terrace and courtyard garden. One of its special features is its entrance corridor, which comes with storage for 200 pairs of shoes.

The vendor purchased the penthouse unit new and then spent 18 months renovating until its 2004 completion.

In the living room is an original art piece by Hiroshi Senju painted on-site. Most of the furniture in the home is custom-designed by Ceccotti Collezioni, along with Italian imported stone and wood used for many of the walls, flooring, and doors.

The Japanese Ryotei-style dining room was designed for dinner parties where the chef can serve the guests directly from the gourmet kitchen.

There’s a full bathroom plus two further baths.
