NEW TO MARKET

FIRPARK Terrace looks like many other blonde sandstone tenement buildings in the Dennistoun area of Glasgow – until you come to the entrance of Number 2. A small plaque scripted in the distinctive style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, reveals Glasgow’s most famous architect resided in the building for 17 years between 1875 and 1892. Although it’s not known which flat Mackintosh lived in, it could have been a very striking south-facing ground floor corner flat newly on the market. The tenement buildings on Firpark Terrace were originally built in 1875 and number two, located on the southerly edge of the terrace, contains some of the finest positioned flats with views across the city towards the Cathkin Braes.

Fully rewired, replastered and refurbished, this home is flawlessly finished with quality floorcoverings, neutral décor and high-end fixtures and fittings – most notable is the re-fitted/integrated dining kitchen and shower room, the latter with marble floor and wall tiling. The entrance hallway – which has a curved feature wall and extensive built-in storage – extends into the rear-facing dining kitchen and adjoining utility. Also off the hall are two double bedrooms (the largest of which has a walk-in cupboard which offers potential for an en-suite, subject to planning consent), a luxuriously appointed shower room, and spacious living room with a corner bay window. The building also has neat communal gardens and security-controlled door entry.

Firpark Terrace is positioned just over a mile from the the city centre within walking distance of the Merchant City area and University of Strathclyde, while local amenities include shops, restaurants, public swimming pool, gymnasium, Alexandra Park and road/rail links. Offers over £175,000 to Pacitti Jones’ Burnside office.
