Description ^
Ideally located within walking distance of the city centre, Duthie Park, and the former Deeside railway cycle/walking pathway.
The three-floored property offers generous living space throughout. Fully double-glazed, it has gas central heating plus underfloor heating in both bathrooms and the dining kitchen.
The front garden is planted with flowering evergreen shrubs lending privacy and a pleasant outlook from the lounge.
The enclosed vestibule with its original tiled floor opens into a bright and welcoming hallway with an elegant staircase to the top floor.
Ahead from the hallway, down a short flight of stairs to the lower ground floor, is a shower room with W.C., wash hand basin, walk-in instant electric shower, and a dual-fuel heated towel rail.
The comfortably proportioned lounge has a bay window with double- glazed windows, original double skirting boards, grapevine cornicing, matching central rose, and picture rail. The built-in alcove cupboards matching the fireplace were made in sourced yellow pine in keeping with the original wooden fixtures of the house.
Towards the rear of the house is the dining room with fireplace, picture rail and semi-glazed alcove cupboard. The large alcove opposite the entry to the kitchen is currently set up as a discreet office area. Double entry to the large kitchen allows easy flow of people when entertaining. NB the light fitting in the dining room will be removed, all other light fittings will remain.
The generous dining kitchen has ample space for a large family table. The bespoke units were built by Mother Hubbard of Torphins in antique wood selected to match the age of the house and are completed with granite worktops. The units fill the entire east side of the kitchen including a built-in microwave and double Belfast sink. The peninsula houses the Britannia range cooker with gas hob and double ovens on one side with storage and bookshelves on the outward side. Tiled floor with underfloor heating.
The kitchen’s tryptic window with central arch offers views west towards Deeside. The curved glazed wall has French doors opening outwards onto the raised terrace which enjoys sun from sunrise to sunset, weather permitting! Planting from the lower pathway provides shelter and privacy, the lower area also concealing the bin area with easy access out through the side gate for refuse collection.
At the far end of the kitchen is a glazed door leading to a small utility room with sink and space for a washing machine, tumble drier and storage.
The elegant staircase to the upper floors retains the original wooden balustrade and ornate spindles. Both stair windows are uPVC but have the stain-glass panels from the original windows retained as panels which are attached and sealed to the inside of the windows. These panels can be removed and reattached to any replacement windows which may be required in future, thus retaining the original beauty of light filtering though.
The first-floor landing gives access to three double bedrooms and a large walk-in cupboard.
The spacious master bedroom has a large built-in wardrobe, shelved cupboard with full-length mirror door, ceiling cornice, original double skirting boards and picture rail. Carpet, curtails and blinds are included. The bay window offers attractive views of the front garden and tree-lined Braemar Place.
Bedroom two to the rear is a generous double room with a large south facing window and shelved alcove. The wardrobe unit in this room is included if required.
Bedroom three above the vestibule is also a generous double room with ample space for free-standing furniture.
The family bathroom on the mezzanine between the first and second floors is fitted with W.C and sink unit plus bath with overhead instant electric shower.
On the second floor is bedroom four. This large spacious adaptable room has views over the whole south side of Aberdeen. There are three low level doors to eaves space, two smaller areas on the south side, and a large, floored area across the whole north side of the house.
Bedroom five is currently in use as a study but may be a generous single bedroom or cosy double guest room.
Externally, the mature rear garden offers an oasis of comfort and is fully enclosed making this an ideal safe haven for children and pets to enjoy. It is laid mainly to lawn with a border of mature trees and shrubs.
At the bottom of the garden the very large single garage with electric roller door onto Abergeldie Road has room for garden storage and entry via steps into the rear of the garden.
On street parking is available with no restrictions.
