NEW TO MARKET
GLASGOW’S city centre property market offers everything from contemporary apartments and penthouses to elegant Victorian loft conversions, townhouses, and traditional tenements – but if wow factor is a pre-requisite, then a fully upgraded main door apartment within a restored A-listed blonde sandstone building on Hill Street, within the city’s Garnethill area, could hit the spot.
Retaining a wealth of original period features (including marble fireplaces, wood panelling, ornate plasterwork and with accommodation extending to over 1800 sq ft), this is an impressive home upgraded to an uncompromising standard in recent years to preserve it for centuries to come. Enhancements include new gas central heating, period radiators, deep skirtings, upgraded/replaced timber sash and case windows, and gardens to the rear.
Inside, the L-shaped reception hall features an exquisite tiled floor, wood panelled walls, hardwood flooring and abundant storage, while the accommodation extends to a stunning 22ft drawing room with original black marble fireplace and tiled insert/hearth, intricate ceiling and cornice plasterwork, wide-plank hardwood flooring, and two, front-facing picture windows – and an adjoining bay-windowed dining kitchen, a bright 24ft room with fitted wall/base units, granite work surfaces, integrated appliances, white marble fireplace, hardwood flooring and elongated central island.
There are three spacious double bedrooms (two with original fireplaces) with neutral carpeting throughout, while off the hall is a fully tiled shower room finished in white marble with high-end fittings, and a fully tiled family bathroom with contemporary freestanding bath.
