Pretty price tag for New York City loft-style apartment in downtown Kilmarnock

Fancy owning a New York loft-style apartment but for a fraction of the price and closer to home?

Then this trendy four-bed in the heart of Kilmarnock could be what you’re looking for.

On the market for offers over £125,000, this top-floor flat on Nelson Street is a real gem.

The property, whose exterior shape is similar to that of New York City’s wedge-shaped Flatiron Building, boasts a fascinating piece of history belonging to the town.

The apartment is located within the former Kilmarnock Standard building and was once the old printing room where thousands of reams of paper would run through the machines weekly, delivering the latest news to the people of the town.

A nod to the property’s past is retained in the stunning original exposed beams throughout.

The property is deceptively spacious, with the accommodation extending to; a welcoming hallway, bathroom with walk in shower, two good sized bedrooms (both with built in wardrobes) and the open-plan living kitchen area, complete with breakfast bar and bi-folding doors out onto a balcony.

There are a further two bedrooms at the rear of the lounge, one of which could be utilised as an additional TV room or home office.

The property’s location is a stone’s throw away from bustling John Finnie Street, which boasts shops, pubs and restaurants.

It may not be in the Big Apple, but if it were there’d be a couple of zeros added on the end of that price tag!

Offers over £125,000. Contact Slater Hogg & Howison, Kilmarnock, on (01563) 623008.
