Ripplevale Grove, N1

In an elegant oasis between Islington’s Upper Street and King’s Cross, lies this thoughtfully updated and impeccably refurbished period home, blending original features with contemporary style. Upon entering through the main entrance, you are welcomed into historical charm and character: high ceilings, cornicing, dado rails, bespoke walnut joinery, a heritage colour palette, and two decorative fireplaces. If you choose to enter via the lower ground floor entrance, your eye travels 20 metres in a direct line of sight to the back of the landscaped garden, inspiring endless indoor-outdoor entertaining possibilities, while taking in sleek and simple modern architectural features: a custom designed chef’s kitchen, fluted marble backsplashes, bespoke timber battens defining a snug, polished concrete floor, mid-century modern accents, and a Scandinavian inspired colour palette. The primary bedroom suite occupies the entire first floor, offering a spacious and private retreat with an air conditioned sleeping area, a luxury bathroom, and large dressing room with period fireplace. The second floor has two further bedrooms (one currently used as a home office with a single dropdown bed) and a shower room. Above that, a large loft accessed by a pulldown ladder offers a great deal of storage space which could be a good candidate for a loft conversion. The rear garden extends to approximately 30ft in depth and has been landscaped to a contemporary design with two zones: a seating area to the rear and a tiled patio area abutting the rear elevation with an outdoor kitchen, offering the chance for both sun filled conversations and shaded outdoor dining with friends when the desire comes to fire up the grill. High end appliances and fittings include luxury brands such as Wolf, Sub-Zero, Gaggenau, Miele, ZipTap, Toto, Duravit, Domus, Bowers & Wilkins, Rothschild & Bickers, Eichholt and Michael Anastassiades.
