One of Bearsden’s most iconic and highly sought-after “C” listed Art Deco villas, this remarkable home is nestled within a peaceful cul-de-sac of just eight similar residences, built circa 1933 by John McDonald. This particular villa holds special historical significance as “The House That Jean Built,” the winning design of the 1932 Scottish Ideal Home Exhibition by Mrs Elizabeth M. Reid of Maryhill Park a Domestic Science Teacher—created to celebrate the role of women in architecture. Evoking a distinctly American influence, the home features expansive roof terraces ideal for sunbathing and stunning curved bow and bay windows, quintessential hallmarks of Art Deco design. It’s easy to imagine this property gracing the shoreline of Miami, a vision embraced by the original “Sunshine Design” philosophy of the local John McDonald & Son from Glasgow.

A guest cloakroom features a stylish two-piece suite. The elegant corner-positioned lounge boasts a distinctive curved window, focal point fireplace and flows into a bright sunroom offering views toward the Campsies. From here, double doors open into a versatile family room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, which also leads to a side hallway with access to the back door and driveway. This hallway continues to a formal dining room adorned with original wood panelling, and the ground floor is completed by a sleek, modern kitchen fitted with an extensive range of contemporary wall and base units, as well as integrated high-end appliances.

On the upper level, the property offers four bedrooms, three of which are generously proportioned doubles. Two bedrooms benefit from deep built-in wardrobes, and the principal bedroom echoes the living room below with its graceful, curved window.
