NEW TO MARKET
ST VINCENT Crescent is one of Glasgow’s most striking A-listed buildings, designed circa 1855 in the Finnieston area of the city on the north bank of the River Clyde by Glasgow architect Alexander Kirkland. Now a conservation area, the blonde sandstone building that forms this distinctive curved crescent has recently been substantially restored thanks to an investment of around £360,000. A luxury apartment therein, newly on the market, received over £100,000 for internal renovation, which amongst other things, included the restoration and refurbishment of ornate original plasterwork, wood-panelled doors, Italian marble fireplaces, and 12-pane sash and case windows.
Effectively an exquisitely detailed new home within a beautiful historic building,
Flat 2/2 at 19 St Vincent Crescent features an exceptionally high specification, with luxurious finishes ranging from an integrated SONOS music system and new cast iron radiators throughout, to a bespoke kitchen, underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom, and CAT 5 cabling to both bedrooms and the living room.
The south-facing property is accessed via a secured door entry system. Inside, a reception hall with superb storage cupboards (one serving as a cloakroom) leads to the accommodation – beautifully proportioned living room with high ceiling and two frontfacing windows, similarly spacious main bedroom with walk-in fitted dressing room, impeccably presented dining kitchen, a further double bedroom, and bathroom.
The detail is impressive: the living room and master bedroom both showcase intricate plasterwork, picture rails, south-facing windows, and marble fireplaces fitted with Living Flame gas fires. The bespoke Ernst Rusk fitted kitchen features high-end integrated appliances, integrated lighting, plenty of space for dining furniture – and a charming window seat over looking the communal garden at the rear; bedroom two also overlooks the rear garden, and the partly tiled bathroom is a show-stopper, configured in wet-room style with a mattblack wall-hung basin and contemporary accessories.
The undoubted jewel in Finnieston’s crown, St Vincent Crescent is at the heart of this vibrant community (recently voted as one of the best places to live in the
UK) within walking distance of trendy restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and transport links.
