This superb example of a stunning terraced sandstone villa dates from the early 1900s and occupies a highly desirable position on the ever popular Second Avenue. Beautifully maintained throughout, the property offers generous and flexible accommodation across two levels, with the added benefit of a floored attic space, making it an ideal home for growing families, professionals or buyers seeking character, space and excellent local amenities.
Accessed via traditional storm doors, the entrance vestibule leads into a welcoming reception hallway which provides access to the principal accommodation. The impressive front facing lounge is a particularly attractive room, featuring a bay window formation which floods the space with natural light and a charming feature coal fire creating an appealing focal point. To the rear, the formal dining room or family room enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden and provides a versatile additional living space.
The modern fitted kitchen is positioned to the rear and features a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units, integrated appliances and ample preparation space. A rear door provides direct access to the garden, creating a practical arrangement for everyday family living and entertaining.
Stairs lead to the first floor where there are two generously proportioned double bedrooms and a well-presented single bedroom, all offering comfortable and flexible accommodation. Completing this level is a stylish three-piece family bathroom with contemporary suite and separate shower enclosure.
A fixed staircase leads to the floored and lined attic space, which benefits from a Velux window, useful eaves storage and an additional en-suite shower room. Currently providing excellent storage or home office space, the attic offers considerable versatility and, subject to the necessary planning and building consents, could potentially be converted to create a fourth bedroom or additional living accommodation.
The property retains a wealth of attractive original period features which blend beautifully with the modern upgrades throughout. Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing, ensuring a comfortable home throughout the year.
Externally, the mature front garden is well maintained and adds to the attractive approach, while the fully enclosed rear garden provides a private and secure outdoor space ideal for relaxing, gardening and entertaining. A rear gate also provides convenient access to the adjoining lane.
Second Avenue is ideally positioned for a wide range of excellent local amenities and highly regarded schooling. Carmunnock Road, Battlefield Road and Clarkston Road are all within easy reach, offering a fantastic selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday conveniences.
For larger shopping requirements, Asda at Toryglen, Sainsbury’s at Muirend and Morrisons at Newlands are all conveniently located nearby.
Families are particularly well served by a choice of well-regarded local schools, including St Fillan’s Primary School, Mount Florida Primary School, Holyrood Secondary School and King’s Park Secondary School, making this a highly convenient location for a wide range of buyers. The area is exceptionally well served by transport links, with both King’s Park and Mount Florida railway stations located within approximately half a mile, providing regular rail services into Glasgow City Centre and beyond.
