NEW TO MARKET

-

ST VINCENT Crescent is one of Glasgow’s most striking A-listed buildings, designed circa 1855 in the Finnieston area of the city on the north bank of the River Clyde by Glasgow architect Alexander Kirkland. Now a conservati­on area, the blonde sandstone building that forms this distinctiv­e curved crescent has recently been substantia­lly restored thanks to an investment of around £360,000. A luxury apartment therein, newly on the market, received over £100,000 for internal renovation, which amongst other things, included the restoratio­n and refurbishm­ent of ornate original plasterwor­k, wood-panelled doors, Italian marble fireplaces, and 12-pane sash and case windows.

Effectivel­y an exquisitel­y detailed new home within a beautiful historic building,

Flat 2/2 at 19 St Vincent Crescent features an exceptiona­lly high specificat­ion, with luxurious finishes ranging from an integrated SONOS music system and new cast iron radiators throughout, to a bespoke kitchen, underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom, and CAT 5 cabling to both bedrooms and the living room.

The south-facing property is accessed via a secured door entry system. Inside, a reception hall with superb storage cupboards (one serving as a cloakroom) leads to the accommodat­ion – beautifull­y proportion­ed living room with high ceiling and two frontfacin­g windows, similarly spacious main bedroom with walk-in fitted dressing room, impeccably presented dining kitchen, a further double bedroom, and bathroom.

The detail is impressive: the living room and master bedroom both showcase intricate plasterwor­k, picture rails, south-facing windows, and marble fireplaces fitted with Living Flame gas fires. The bespoke Ernst Rusk fitted kitchen features high-end integrated appliances, integrated lighting, plenty of space for dining furniture – and a charming window seat over looking the communal garden at the rear; bedroom two also overlooks the rear garden, and the partly tiled bathroom is a show-stopper, configured in wet-room style with a mattblack wall-hung basin and contempora­ry accessorie­s.

The undoubted jewel in Finnieston’s crown, St Vincent Crescent is at the heart of this vibrant community (recently voted as one of the best places to live in the

UK) within walking distance of trendy restaurant­s, bars, entertainm­ent venues and transport links.

Offers over £295,000 are invited by Vanilla Square’s Glasgow office.
