Property Description

A fabulous three-bedroom first floor apartment which has been carefully upgraded, modernised and refined throughout to offer extremely comfortable and, indeed, luxurious living quarters. Whilst the interior specification is exceptionally impressive, it is also important to keep in mind that the property benefits further from its superb, highly central situation in the West End of Glasgow — just off Byres Road at the entrance to Dowanhill, minutes’ walk from numerous amenities and within approximately 0.5 miles of Glasgow University’s Gilmorehill campus.

Ruthven Street is an attractive and desirable address at the entrance to Dowanhill, just off Byres Road in the West End. Thanks to this highly central position, the home for sale provides instant access to the diverse collection of amenities which combine to make Byres Road one of the most vibrant streets in Glasgow, if not Scotland — brimming with life, colour and the hustle and bustle that people love in inner-city locations. From restaurants and bars to cafés, coffee shops and boutiques, Byres Road truly has it all. There is even a Waitrose supermarket, several local produce merchants and, of course, Ashton Lane, which can be reached within three or four minutes of leaving the property on foot. In short compass, the location of this gorgeous traditional home is hard to fault.

The property is held within an elegant blonde sandstone tenement on the northern side of Ruthven Street, facing south. As you will see during an in-person visit, the residents of the building take great pride in its overall appearance and, as such, this lovely tenement is maintained to an extremely high standard. From the new secure entrance door with glazed panel and etched numeral, to the neatly decorated communal hall and stairway, and the broad expanse of communal green space to the rear, which is neatly kept and thoroughly enjoyed by residents, it is absolutely plain to see that this is one of the finest tenements on the street.
The home for sale is situated on the first level and is accessed via substantial storm doors which fold back to reveal beautiful entrance doors, painted grey and featuring spectacular, colourful stained-glass panels — a truly special entrance that creates a strong sense of arrival.

Internally, it is instantly apparent that the property has been upgraded with a no-expense-spared approach, real attention to detail and genuine care. This home is a superb demonstration of the current owner’s passion and commitment to a project, having been designed and specified as their forever home. As such, no stone was left unturned during the full-scale renovation and re-design, resulting in the exemplary apartment shown in the accompanying photographs and HD video.

There are simply too many features and selling points to list, and buyers are encouraged to visit the property in person to fully appreciate the substantial accommodation and exceptional level of presentation which sets this apartment apart from other comparable examples. In brief, the accommodation extends to a broad reception hall, an elegant bay-windowed living room, and a superb dining kitchen fitted with sleek contemporary units, a full complement of integrated appliances, stylish LED lighting and — the pièce de résistance — a fully formed tea and coffee station. This thoughtful addition presents a daily dilemma: make your own coffee and stay at home, or nip down to Blank Street Coffee or Starbucks at the end of the street — a wonderful problem to have.

The property offers three bedrooms, including two king-sized rooms and one double. The principal bedroom is extremely comfortable and benefits from in-built wardrobes, while the rear-facing king-sized bedroom provides access to a high-specification en-suite shower room, finished with elegant grey tiling and refined matte black fixtures and the double-sized third room has been successfully used as a twin home office space by the current owners - demonstrating the flexibility of such a living space. The main bathroom is just as impressive, featuring matte-finish marble-effect tiling, a contemporary white suite, including a beautiful wash-hand basin set into a vanity unit, and again complemented by matte black fittings.
