About
This desirable two-bedroom ground floor apartment forms part of a well-established 1990s development in the popular Blackhall area, just north-west of the city centre.
Offered with no onward chain, the property is presented in neutral décor throughout and provides deceptively spacious accommodation with well-balanced proportions.
The apartment has been thoughtfully maintained and benefits from recent upgrades, including newly replaced windows and a modernised shower room.
Its ground floor position ensures convenient, step-free access, making it particularly practical for a wide range of buyers.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming hallway with useful storage cupboards, leading to a bright and airy living room with windows to two aspects.
A centrally positioned electric fireplace creates an attractive focal point.
An open aspect connects the living space to the dining kitchen, enhancing the sense of flow and creating a more contemporary layout.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and includes a double oven, gas hob, and freestanding appliances such as a washing machine and tumble-dryer, along with ample space for a freestanding fridge.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with integrated wardrobes, and a stylish family shower room featuring a modern walk-in shower.
Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing. Externally, the property enjoys well-maintained communal gardens, along with private parking in front of the garage.
The garage itself provides secure storage and is equipped with power and lighting.
