Waterside Place, Glasgow, G5

City living, just not as you know it.

Two levels. A spiral staircase. Mezzanine living. An upstairs room with its own en-suite. Private parking outside.

Welcome to 6 Waterside Place — a Glasgow duplex for anyone who’d rather have something a little less ordinary.

Downstairs, things start simple.

The open-plan lounge and dining room gives you plenty of space to properly live in. Dinner with friends. Sunday on the sofa. Laptop open at the table on Monday morning. One room, plenty of uses.

Then there’s the staircase.

A spiral staircase rises through the living space to the mezzanine above. Part staircase, part architectural feature, it’s the detail that gives this apartment its character — and probably the first thing people will talk about when they visit.

The fitted kitchen sits alongside the main living space. Good storage. Plenty of workspace. Everything where you need it.

Also on the main level is a well-proportioned bedroom and modern bathroom, keeping the everyday side of things straightforward.

Upstairs is where the floorplan gets interesting.

The versatile mezzanine-level room comes with its own en-suite and very few instructions on what you should do with it.

Home office. Guest space. Studio. Dressing room. Reading room. Somewhere to hide when you’ve had enough of everyone downstairs.

Your call.

Double glazing and gas central heating keep things comfortable year-round.

Outside, there are communal gardens and something particularly useful for a Glasgow apartment — your own private parking space.

And then there’s the location.

Set within a prime riverside pocket on the edge of Glasgow City Centre, 3/1 6 Waterside Place puts the best of the city comfortably within reach. A major advantage is having Bridgeton and Argyle Street train stations within walking distance, providing excellent connections across Glasgow and beyond, while the city centre itself can be easily reached on foot or by public transport. Everyday essentials, supermarkets and shopping are close at hand, with St. Enoch Centre, Buchanan Street, Princes Square and the Merchant City delivering everything from high-street retail to independent boutiques. For coffee, dinner or drinks, you're equally spoiled for choice, with the Merchant City offering some of Glasgow's most popular cafés, cocktail bars and restaurants, while nearby destinations such as WEST on the Green, BAaD and the wider Barras and East End food scene add even more character.

Connectivity is one of the location's strongest cards. Alongside having railway stations within walking distance, frequent bus services and nearby Bridge Street and St. Enoch Subway stations make moving around Glasgow effortless, while quick access to the M74, M8 and M77 provides straightforward connections across the Central Belt. The location is particularly well suited to students and academics, with the University of Strathclyde, City of Glasgow College and Glasgow Caledonian University all easily accessible, alongside convenient links to the University of Glasgow. A choice of local schools serves the surrounding neighbourhoods, while Glasgow Royal Infirmary and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital provide access to major healthcare facilities.

Then there's the lifestyle. Glasgow Green is virtually on the doorstep, providing acres of open parkland, riverside walking and cycling routes and space to escape the pace of the city, while the River Clyde walkway creates an easy route for running, cycling or a weekend stroll. Fitness enthusiasts have access to the Emirates Arena, Glasgow Club facilities and an extensive choice of city-centre gyms and boutique studios. With train stations within walking distance, Glasgow City Centre close by, leading universities easily accessible and some of the city's best parks, cafés, pubs and restaurants on your doorstep, Waterside Place delivers the kind of connected, low-maintenance Glasgow lifestyle that works particularly well for first-time buyers, professionals and students.

Close enough to everything.

Different enough from everything else.

Because if you wanted a conventional one-level apartment, Glasgow has plenty of them.

This one has other ideas.
