    About this property

    • This apartment sits on the south side of one of York's most desirable developments and includes its own private garden terrace.

      Featuring over 1000 square feet of living space, Apartment 8 The Residence offers everything that could be expected to accommodate the modern lifestyle.

      The ground floor boasts an impressive open plan living space, currently utilised as a sitting/dining area by the present owners. Floor to ceiling windows ensure the home remains well lit throughout the day, with the added benefit of being south facing, making this a great place for entertaining guests.

      A modern kitchen sits off the living space, finished with glossy white units and featuring recessed downlights and under cupboard lighting to perfectly illuminate the space on an evening. Housing a built in washer/dryer, induction hob, microwave and wine shelf alongside plenty of storage, the kitchen is equipped to all levels of usage. A fully modern downstairs WC fitted with spot lights and towel heater finish the ground floor features.

      The first floor is home to two double bedrooms, family bathroom and additional storage. Both bedrooms benefit from fitted storage and south facing windows with views across landscaped gardens. The principal bedroom has en suite shower room, while bedroom two is generously proportioned with plenty of room for a double bed plus desk space to accommodate anyone wishing to work from home.

      The family bathroom is beautifully presented. A bath, inset mirror, towel heater and plenty of storage ensures nothing has been overlooked in the fit out.

      The Residence is a premier development in York, with exceptional communal areas and impressive entry hall to give a first class feeling on walking in. With the benefit of a concierge service, two adjacent parking spaces and use of the communal gardens, the development really does offer everything that could be needed from a home with easy reach to the city centre.
