Flat for sale in Flat 7/1, 28 Wilson Street, Glasgow G1

This is a beautiful and unique penthouse apartment occupying the whole of the 7th floor of a converted warehouse building designed by Elder & Cannon Architects in the 1980's.

Centrally located on Wilson Street in the heart of Glasgow's Merchant City area, the apartment offers stunning cityscape views east, south and west. Accessed via a lift directly into the apartment itself (private lift key access), this apartment offers two large bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, a stunning lounge/dining area running the whole length of the property with large oriel windows, a beautifully equipped and newly upgraded kitchen, two balconies, one facing south, the other west, and a family bathroom. The overall floorplate extends to over 1,700 square feet. This is a very spacious property with generous proportions across all apartments to create a nicely balanced luxury loft-style living space with an Art Deco style, centrally positioned within the heart of the Merchant City, yet exuding a quality tranquil feeling positioned well above the bustle of city life below.

Accommodation:
Entered from Wilson Street through a secure entry glass door to communal lobby in Art Deco style there is both lift and stair access through the communal hallways; the lift access provides for a key facility allowing access exclusively into the penthouse apartment itself. Upon existing the lift there is welcoming hallway laid in wood (with natural stone feature outside lift) with access to all apartments and skylight above providing good natural light.

To the right from the lift is the main lounge dining area, which can only be described as exceptional - extensive rooftop views over the city both southwards and westwards are complemented by two outside balconies, a feature double height circular window, ceiling to floor windows on both sides, intricate ceiling mouldings and sunken (gold) architectural design elements, Art Deco lights against vertical columns, a wood burning stove with stone surround, a fully stocked library, and carpets inlaid against a natural wood floor surround. The whole area measures some seven by eight metres and is a large enough backdrop to accommodate different natural living zone areas. Outside access is via French doors to a decked balcony area (west facing). The kitchen is accessed via double French doors from the dining room area, has been upgraded, is very well equipped with a range of integrated appliances including dishwasher, two ovens, electric hob and hood, fridge, and freezer. The kitchen units are in white gloss and the worktop is Corian. There is access to the second balcony (south facing) from the kitchen, and to the master bedroom, which has an outlook to Wilson Street via a large double window. This bedroom is very spacious and it, in turn, has access to a fantastic four-piece en-suite facility off, complete with jacuzzi bath, heated towel rail, recessed ceiling with gold effect lighting mood, two mirrored walls, window to the side, with the overall Art Deco theme continued throughout. There is also a cloakroom/storage area to the right of the lift, with rooflight and emergency access to the stairwell.

To the left from the lift is the second bedroom, main bathroom, and a cupboard housing the water heater and washing machine. The second bedroom is a large double unit with a window facing north. The family bathroom has a three-piece suite with shower over bath and floor-ceiling tiles in white.

There is a new system of electric economy 7 heating throughout with recently upgraded radiators.

Further interesting Art Deco features include the presence of glass portholes in internal doors.
