Flat 17, 2 Melrose Avenue, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73

Originally commissioned as Stonelaw High School and designed by the renowned Glasgow architect James Jackson Craig circa 1885, this distinguished landmark building was expertly converted by Laurieston Homes in 2002 to form an exclusive collection of twenty-nine luxury apartments set within beautifully maintained communal grounds in the heart of Rutherglen.

Occupying one of the most desirable south-facing positions to the rear of the development, this exceptional second and third floor duplex apartment enjoys spectacular open views across the surrounding district and beyond.

The apartment has been meticulously maintained and is presented in immaculate decorative order, enhanced by quality floor coverings, and an abundance of natural light. The specification includes a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a luxurious four-piece bathroom, double-glazed window units and a system of gas-fired central heating. Residents further benefit from a secure video-controlled entry system, allocated bay & ample visitor parking to the side and rear and the truly stunning central atrium - an impressive communal space that beautifully reflects the building’s architectural heritage.

The accommodation extends to a welcoming entrance hallway with useful understairs storage and staircase leading to the upper level. The principal living area is particularly impressive: a bright and spacious dual-aspect lounge enjoying elevated open views and excellent natural light, positioned adjacent to a generous breakfasting kitchen fitted with a range of contemporary base and wall-mounted units, contrasting work surfaces, inset sink and integrated appliances including fridge freezer, electric oven, gas hob and extractor hood.

The upper level provides access to two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes offering excellent shelf and hanging space. Completing the accommodation is a beautifully appointed four-piece bathroom featuring a modern white suite and separate shower enclosure.

The property is quietly situated in this sought-after pocket of Rutherglen and is conveniently placed for access to a host of local amenities including schools at both primary and secondary levels, shops, and public transport services. The nearby Rutherglen Main Street and Stonelaw Road provide a more extensive range of amenities including supermarkets, bars, restaurants, and train stations for easy commuting to Glasgow City Centre and the surrounding areas. In addition to this, there are excellent road links close by giving easy access to Glasgow City Centre and the Central Belt motorway network system.
