We are delighted to offer for sale this deceptively spacious four bedroom home, which has been significantly upgraded with the installation of solar panels, a ground source heat pump and EV charging point.
The property is located on a quiet, wide tree lined street in the Hilton district of the city, a residential area with easy links to the city centre, the businesses at Bridge of Don and Dyce, the Aberdeen University Campus at Old Aberdeen, and Foresterhill Hospital.
The well-proportioned and beautifully styled accommodation, with high ceilings, provides versatile living for families of all ages, with multi purpose living spaces as well as a bedroom on the ground floor, and another three bedrooms upstairs, one of which has an en-suite shower room.
The decoration is a tasteful neutral palette with accent wallpaper, flooring is a blend of neutral coloured carpets or laminates, and with white goods included in the sale, it's ready to move into with ease.
The layout includes two spacious reception rooms to the front, one presently used as a lounge with inset log effect electric mist fire, the other a formal dining room, both with large bay windows.
To the rear, there is a double bedroom with built-in storage and a quiet outlook over the garden. The bathroom features a modern white suite with shower over the bath, wc and basin, and it has a window to the rear.
The kitchen features a good range of Shaker style cabinets with laminate worktops and upstands, it has a gas hob, electric oven, integrated cooker hood, American style fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, it also boasts patio doors that open to the garden and space for relaxed dining.
The ground floor also benefits from underfloor heating through the main reception rooms and kitchen.
Upstairs the galleried landing has a Velux window that draws light into the area, and there is hatch access to the attic along with a large walk-in box room which provides generous storage.
The principle bedroom has ample space for free standing furniture and it has an ensuite shower room with vanity furniture and eaves storage cupboard.
There is another double bedroom with window to the front and again, ample eaves storage. The third bedroom is presently used as a study and has a Velux window to the rear.
The front garden is bounded at the front by a dwarf granite wall, with a gated entrance to the central path which leads to the front door. Either side of the path is easy maintenance granite chips, stone bordered beds with a mix of mature planting and fruit bushes adding pops of seasonal colour.
The rear, fully enclosed, large garden has superb privacy and a shelter of mature trees. A sizeable decked area off of the kitchen gives the perfect spot to relax and unwind in the summer evenings, with a large area of lawn being accessed down a few steps.
There are flower borders at either side, a pond and waterfall which attracts wildlife, with a fenced enclosure and chicken coop at the bottom of the garden in addition to a vegetable patch, raised bed planters and fruit trees.
A large Tuscan olive ‘Rhino’ greenhouse with integrated shelving is an ideal addition to this garden and can be purchased separately. The garden benefits from outdoor power with sockets at the decking area and at the bottom of the garden.
A very large basement with light, power and good head-room sits directly under the house, and offers superb storage. There are shelves, cabinets and a workbench, it houses the ground source heat pump and there is a water tap. A driveway, secured by two sets of gates has parking for several cars.
The owners have spent a considerable amount of time upgrading the property, with the installation of two types of solar panels, one which helps with the hot water and the other provides electric power to the house. The EV charger is located at the front driveway of the property. The high efficiency ground source heat pump offers an efficient and green heating system.
A Tesla battery is located in the basement and is charged through the excess power generated by the solar panels and can be purchased by separate negotiation.
The power generation and green heating system ensures lower utility bills versus other traditional, beautiful Aberdeen granite homes in the area who rely on more traditional heating sources.
The property is connected directly to the City Fibre network for ultrafast internet of up to 1Gbps.
