Built 94 years ago for one of Aberdeen’s most illustrious families, this art deco gem takes pride of place in one of the city’s most expensive streets.
Ageing like a fine wine, this pink and grey granite beauty in Rubislaw Den North exudes the same charm it once did back in 1927 when the Esslemont family – famed for their luxury city department store – moved in.
With three public rooms, five bedrooms together with the perfect blend of period and modern features including a sauna, it’s no surprise that this home has only changed hands twice in its lifetime.
Drawing room
Setting the tone is the imposing arched entrance door which leads to a vestibule and into a superb reception hall with mahogany panelling and a simple yet stunning art deco mahogany staircase.
The elegant theme continues through in the drawing room and dining room which both have original fireplaces.
At the back of the property is a chic and cosy family/sitting room with a lovely fireplace and French doors out to the garden.
Stylish kitchen
Spacious and stylish, the dining kitchen is ideal for family life especially as patio doors lead straight outside, making it perfect for alfresco dining.
Brimming with character, this grandiose home also has a plethora of quirky details including a useful utility/boot room and original butler’s pantry.
Upstairs, an upper landing with a large, arched leaded window, leads through to the attractive en suite master bedroom.
Also on this floor are two further double bedrooms and family bathroom with a separate shower along with guest double bedroom with en suite at the back.
Master bedroom of dreams
A concealed staircase leads to the attic bedroom which has en suite facilities and a sauna.
This area could potentially be transformed into a teenager’s den, gym or master bedroom.
Gardens
Outside, the plush property is set within well established grounds while there is off-street parking for several cars.
Meanwhile, the back garden is fully enclosed with a raised seated patio for alfresco dining and a summerhouse.
In addition, there is a granite built single garage with pitched roof.
Other key features include gas fired central heating, sash and case windows, most with secondary glazing, and a security alarm system.
Central location
Location wise, the home enjoys a quiet yet central location, just a 10-minute drive from Union Street and the city centre.
There is also easy access to Anderson Drive, the airport and hospital as well as local nurseries and schools.
