3 Mitchell Drive, Burnside, Glasgow, G73

A spectacular blonde sandstone villa dating back to the turn of the twentieth century, this remarkable home occupies a commanding position in one of the area’s most cherished addresses, just moments from Stonelaw Road and its excellent amenities. Set on a generous south-facing garden plot, the property extends to an impressive 153 sq. m (1,647 sq. ft.) and enjoys uninterrupted, breathtaking open views across the city skyline.

In recent years, the house has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, resulting in a home finished to the very highest standards and presented in true walk-in condition. The improvements include a full rewire, partial replastering, the replacement of all floor coverings, and a tasteful decorative scheme throughout. To the rear, two rooms have been combined to create a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area - an exceptional space often referred to as the ‘hub of the home’ and a key feature for those seeking a traditional property that caters to modern living. The kitchen has been professionally refitted, complemented by a smartly designed and extended, four-piece family bathroom on the upper floor. The property also benefits from double glazing, with several units recently replaced, and a system of gas fired central heating by way of a highly efficient Worcester boiler installed in 2023.

The accommodation begins with an entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming reception hallway with fitted store cupboard, a guest w.c, and an original staircase rising to the upper level. The impressive lounge features a beautiful bay window framing the spectacular city views and a striking fireplace as its focal point. To the rear, the breathtaking main living area spans the full width of the property, providing direct access to a comfortable conservatory that overlooks the rear garden, as well as to a large, fitted utility room.

Upstairs, the bright hallway leads to three spacious double bedrooms and a luxuriously appointed family bathroom with a three-piece suite and separate shower enclosure.

Externally, the front garden has been laid out with ease of maintenance in mind featuring mature planting, bordered by low-level walling, and there is a driveway providing off-street parking and access to the attached garage. To the rear, the delightful south-facing garden is fully enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn, with planted areas, a shed, and two paved patio areas ideal for entertaining/alfresco dining. .
