Located just off Great Western Road, a stunning period property has captured the hearts of many, including its current owners, Claire and Alistair Coutts. With its striking stained-glass windows, high ceilings, and feature fireplaces, this home offers a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern living.
Built in the early 1900s, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom residence has been a cherished family home since 2011.
Family-friendly features and a welcoming atmosphere
For Claire, a town planning consultant, and Alistair, a teacher, the property was an ideal choice due to its proximity to both sets of grandparents.
“We were attracted to the property for its location and traditional features, including the high ceilings and the fireplace in our bedroom,” Claire shares. After 13 wonderful years, the family is reluctantly putting their beloved home on the market as they seek a larger space for their growing son, who has now reached an impressive height of 6ft 1”.
Elegant interiors and entertaining spaces
Upon entering the property, visitors are greeted by an attractive entrance hallway that leads to an elegant front lounge, complete with a multi-fuel stove and a beautiful bay window. The formal family dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining, while a cozy snug offers additional relaxation space. The sleek kitchen, featuring an island breakfast bar and French doors leading to the back garden, has been the heart of many family gatherings and celebrations over the years.
Personal touches and modern upgrades
Throughout their time in the property, Claire and Alistair have made significant upgrades, including adding a new shower room and utility room, extending the kitchen, and transforming the loft into a den for their children. Claire, who has a passion for interior design, has infused her personal style into the home, ensuring it is ready for the next owners to simply move in their furniture. The fully-enclosed back garden is perfect for al fresco entertaining, featuring patio areas and a lush lawn.
Prime location with community appeal
One of the standout features of this property is its prime location. Claire emphasizes the convenience of being within walking distance to the city center, while also enjoying the amenities available on Great Western Road. The nearby old railway line provides easy access to Duthie Park and Cults, making it an ideal spot for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
As the Coutts family prepares to say goodbye to their cherished home, they hope it will bring joy to the next family who resides there. The property at 163 Duthie Terrace, Aberdeen, is currently on the market for offers over £360,000.
