This fantastic A-Listed terrace was designed by J T Rochead circa 1855, and the upper duplex at No. 17 is one of the terraces' finest examples, and offers flexible accommodation to suit modern day needs. The building is entered into a very well-presented residents hall that has some incredible detailed cornicing, original mosaic flooring, striking cupola and wonderful feature fireplace.
Boasting grand proportions due to its gable end positioning, the internal, split-level accommodation comprises; welcoming reception hallway with stain glass window feature and ample under-stair storage, a striking dual aspect lounge to the front boasting uninterrupted views over the tree-lined street and a feature fireplace, and a double bedroom. To the rear, there is the fantastic modern kitchen with breakfasting island, which is open to a great sized family room/dining room with open aspects to the rear. There is also additional storage and a useful utility room off. A spacious, fully tiled, four-piece suite family bathroom with free-standing bath and shower completes the lower-level accommodation.
A sweeping balustrade leads to the upper level which is open to the lower landing, with feature cupola allowing an abundance of natural light in over both floors. To the front is an expansive, dual aspect principal bedroom spanning over 360 sq.ft in size, and also boasts a modern en-suite shower room with Velux window. A spacious double bedroom to the rear, with access to an abundance of storage space in the eves, completes this level.
One highly desirable feature of this property is its private garage to the rear, as well as benefitting from access to the beautifully maintained resident's gardens. In addition, the property also benefits from gas central heating, refurbished windows, a new boiler installed in 2022, and residents on street parking permits are available via request to Glasgow City Council.
