A rare penthouse featuring probably the best terrace in Leeds city centre has just hit the market for the first time in twenty years.
The duplex home is tucked away in Balmoral Place at Brewery Wharf and is being sold by Zenko City Living. It stands out for its 1,000 square foot outdoor space, which the current owners spent over £30,000 to create so they could catch both the sunrise and sunset.
This sale highlights the ongoing transformation of the South Bank area. As more people look for high-end urban living, properties like this benefit from the development of Aire Park, a massive green space project that is set to become the new natural heart of the city.
The owners originally bought the property off-plan 20 years ago and have spent years turning it into something unique. Ian Darley, Head of Sales at Zenko City Living, said: “This penthouse is a complete one-off, and this is the first time it’s been on the market, after the current owners bought it off-plan as a new-build, 20 years ago. During that time, they’ve done a huge amount of work to create a truly individual home.”
The owners even added a vertical extension to make room for a master suite on the top floor. Ian Darley added: “This includes adding a brand new vertical extension to accommodate a master bedroom suite, and they’ve invested more than £30,000 in creating a south-facing terrace which enjoys sunrise and sunset views. It also has the added advantage of overlooking Aire Park, which will offer more than eight acres of green space and is quickly becoming the new heart of Leeds’ South Bank.”
While the home is a one-off, there is still room for buyers to put their own stamp on the property. Ian Darley said: “Crucially, there’s still room for buyers to put their own stamp on the property and we’re trialling a number of innovative AI tools with this home to generate a selection of images to help buyers visualise how a new kitchen could look, for example. And for lovers of old school hi-fi, the apartment comes complete with vintage Bang & Olufsen wall-mounted TV and Beosound CD changer.”
The property is on the market for £875,000 and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, secure basement parking, and access to an on-site residents’ gym. Further information is available at www.zenkoproperties.co.uk or by calling 0113 247 0777.
