Enjoying a prime position in a highly desirable, tree-lined street in the West End of Aberdeen, this impressive semi-detached granite dwelling house is set back and elevated from the road by an attractive south-facing front garden.
Providing spacious and elegant accommodation over three floors, the property has been very well maintained with modern touches that blend beautifully with its period character. The property boasts many fine Victorian features including the original stone fireplace, mosaic tiles, high ceilings, ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, deep skirtings, dado rails and pitch pine doors. The property also enjoys the benefits of full fibre broadband, a modern alarm system and a Hive heating system.
This beautiful home is entered into a welcoming entrance vestibule which is decorated in fresh white tones with white woodwork, enjoying the mosaic floor tiling. From there, the sizeable hall gives access to the lower level living accommodation and is home to the stairwell to the upper floor which is carpeted and boasts an elegant balustrade.
A generous lounge to the front of the home features an attractive large bay window and original Victorian fireplace which provides a delightful focal point to the room. Traditional features are in abundance here with high ceilings, high skirtings and ceiling cornicing, with two recessed alcoves.
With a large bay window allowing peaceful views across the rear garden, the family room is also generous in size, making for an ideal family room or snug as required.
The light and airy dining room is laid with wooden flooring, complimented by the modern white decor and allows ample space for a large dining table and chairs, ideal for those who love to host and entertain.
A door provides direct access into the modern kitchen which is located to the rear and is fitted with an excellent range of white gloss wall and base units, with a host of integrated and freestanding appliances. The room is filled with natural light by the dual aspect and velux sky light and there are two doors providing side and direct garden access.
The sleek shower room completes the ground floor accommodation and is fitted with a walk-in shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin set into stylish vanity unit, chrome ladder heated towel rail and finished with modern tiling to the walls and spotlights.
Ascending the staircase to the first floor, you will find four bedrooms and the family bathroom.

There are two further good sized bedrooms located on this floor which are freshly decorated in neutral tones and are versatile in nature, with one of the rooms having most recently been used as a home office but would also be an excellent children's bedroom, playroom or nursery.
The family bathroom comprises bath with shower over, WC, bidet, wash hand basin set into vanity with cupboard storage, chrome ladder heated towel rail and finished with tiles to the walls.
