About
A nicely presented two bedroom top floor apartment located on Ripon Drive, enjoying a quiet position in Kelvindale, and screened by mature trees that form a natural and peaceful surrounding.
The apartment has been carefully maintained and improved to a nice standard by the current owners, offering bright and versatile accommodation that could facilitate a variety of configurations.
The space has been arranged thoughtfully, utilising the bay windowed public room as a wonderfully bright principal bedroom, which takes full advantage of its leafy views and generous proportions.
While a further reception room offers scope for formal dining or a second sitting room, depending on the needs of a prospective purchaser.
The sleeping accommodation is completed by a further king sized bedroom, while the potential third bedroom has been set up as a dedicated home office, ideal for a work from home space.
A fitted kitchen is sensibly accessed via a doorway from the living room, while a recently refurbished shower room completes the accommodation.
Enjoying a superbly central position, the property sits just a short walk from Kelvindale and Anniesland train stations, with the Forth and Clyde Canal offering miles of walking and cycling near the doorstep.
The excellent amenities at Anniesland Cross, including supermarkets, local shops, cafes, stylists and gyms, are close at hand, while commuters travelling by car will appreciate the easy access to the motorway network and Clyde Tunnel.
The elevated top floor position combined with a serene and leafy setting, make for an exciting opportunity for a wide range of buyers, especially first time buyers, young professionals, and those associated with Glasgow University's Veterinary Campus in the Garscube Estate.
