Enjoying an enviable penthouse position and extending over two levels, this rarely available duplex apartment offers generous accommodation, impressive private outdoor space, and far-reaching panoramic views from one of the Merchant City's most coveted residential addresses.
Spanning in excess of 1,460 sq ft internally, this substantial corner apartment occupies a prominent position above Brunswick Street and Wilson Street, enjoying open north-westerly and southerly aspects across the city skyline and beyond from two sizeable private terraces.
The striking red sandstone Art Deco building was originally constructed in the 1930s as the office headquarters of James M Monro & Son Architects before being sensitively converted into just ten luxury apartments, complete with secure underground parking circa 2000, as part of the Merchant City's regeneration.
Immaculately presented throughout, the property benefits from excellent natural light and impressive proportions.
Particular highlights include a spectacular open-plan living and dining room with a vaulted ceiling extending to over 15 feet, natural wood flooring, and tall windows with patio doors opening directly onto the terraces.
A mezzanine-level third bedroom, currently utilised as a home office, adds flexibility to the accommodation, while the property further benefits from a secure allocated parking space within the underground residents' car park.
Access is provided via a video security entry system leading to a well-maintained communal entrance hall, with both lift and stair access to all floors, together with direct access to the basement parking level.

The accommodation comprises a welcoming reception hall with storage cupboard and cloakroom WC, and a superb living/dining room extending to over 22 feet with direct access to the substantial lower terrace, which wraps around the north-west corner of the building and with views to the famous ‘Keeper of Light’ mural adjacent to the Social Hub.
The dining area flows seamlessly into a modern fitted kitchen complete with a range of base and wall-mounted units and integrated appliances.
The lower level is further enhanced by a generous double bedroom with excellent fitted storage and an en-suite shower room.
A staircase leads to the upper level, where there are two further bedrooms, a utility room, and a well-appointed main bathroom.
