Property Description

Within the iconic GPO Building, this is one of the Merchant City’s premier penthouse apartments This exceptionally generous three-bedroom duplex apartment spans over 1780 sq ft, with a striking open plan living space extending to 37 ft (11m) from the dining space to the expansive living area. There are two private terraces facing east and west and offering views towards George Square. Originally built circa 1878 the landmark building was converted into 61 residential apartments in 2002. The development is centrally located within Glasgow’s thriving and popular Merchant City.

Notable features for residents of the GPO Building are the immaculate entrance lobby with concierge and mailboxes; a second entrance on Hanover Street for easy access to the apartment; a resident’s gym room and an active Residents Committee working with the Factors to help manage and maintain the building to an excellent standard, most recently overseeing the replacement of the roof in 2024 which comes with a 20 year guarantee.

The stylish duplex is situated on the fifth and sixth floors of the prominent blond sandstone listed building and offers stylish penthouse living in a prestigious development. Highlights include a fabulous main living and dining room flooded with light from floor to ceiling windows and with access off to two private terraces. There is a refitted kitchen set back from the living space and separated by a breakfasting peninsula, refitted w.c. all on the upper floor. Downstairs there is a refitted main bathroom, three generous double bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes and full height windows with privacy from the building’s ornate sandstone balustrade. Principal bedroom one has an en suite shower room and there is excellent storage. The property has gas central heating and double glazing. Parking is available to rent or buy in close proximity to the building. Trinity Factor maintenance and management fees excluding Building Insurance are £2,400.
