About
Forming part of an elegant blonde sandstone townhouse within a beautiful, tree-lined address, this exceptional two-bedroom garden level conversion offers luxurious contemporary accommodation in the heart of the highly sought-after Botanics district of the West End of Glasgow.
Benefiting from a substantial private composite decked terrace, the property provides a rare opportunity to enjoy outdoor entertaining & relaxation space within a location where private gardens grounds are seldom available.
The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of renovation and upgrading, resulting in a beautifully appointed home that combines the character of a traditional townhouse conversion with a sleek, contemporary interior.
Presented in immaculate condition throughout, the apartment is notable for its refined décor, high-end specification and carefully designed finish.
The result is a versatile and exceptionally comfortable home that will appeal to a broad range of buyers seeking stylish West End living.
At the heart of the property is a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and living space which has been designed for everyday living, relaxing and watching tv and entertaining guests on a Friday or Saturday night before heading out in the West End.
Beautifully selected cabinetry is complemented by stone worksurfaces, a peninsula breakfast bar and a range of premium appliances, creating a space that is as practical as it is visually impressive.
Large windows introduce excellent natural light, enhancing the bright and airy feel that is evident throughout the apartment.
The accommodation extends to: welcoming reception hall with large storage cupboard; impressive open plan kitchen, dining and living room; generously proportioned principal bedroom positioned to the peaceful rear of the building and complete with a beautifully finished en-suite shower room; second double bedroom with fitted cupboard and distinctive stable door providing direct access to the private terrace; and a further beautifully appointed shower room finished to an equally high standard.
One of the property's most attractive features is the private composite decked terrace, offering a valuable extension of the living space during the warmer months.
Ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing, this sheltered outdoor area is a particularly rare and desirable amenity within Glasgow's West End and significantly enhances the appeal of an already impressive home.
Ruskin Terrace enjoys an enviable position within the Botanics district, widely regarded as one of the most desirable residential pockets of the West End.
The world-renowned Botanic Gardens are located at the foot of the street, whilst Byres Road, Great Western Road and Hyndland Road are all within easy walking distance, providing an outstanding selection of independent cafés, restaurants, bars, delicatessens and boutiques.
The University of Glasgow is nearby, making this an ideal location for academics and professionals alike, whilst excellent transport links are available via Hillhead and Kelvinbridge Underground Stations together with an extensive network of bus routes.
The nearby Kelvin Walkway and River Kelvin offer attractive opportunities for walking, running and cycling through some of the city's most scenic green spaces.
