About this property
Luxury home | Heart of town | Parking | Juliet balconies overlooking park
Superb modern home, uniquely benefiting from having the University, the Old Course, and the town’s shops and cafes within a short 5-10 min walk, yet having the convenience of dedicated indoor parking. The bright apartment has 5 sets of Juliet balconies overlooking the park and the picturesque Lade Braes walk.
Parkview sits in a tranquil location with easy parking via remotely operated doors and easy access to a small exclusive development with stair or lift access to the first floor apartment. The south facing contemporary apartment is light and spacious with floor to ceiling windows throughout the living area and both bedrooms. Parkview has been completely renovated with new luxury furniture and all the latest high tech gadgets - superfast unlimited fibre broadband WIFI, 2 smart 4K ultra HD TV's with Netflix, Amazon Prime etc, Alexa voice activated music via Echo speaker - as well as all the necessities; washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, coffeemaker, hairdryer.
The property has an open plan kitchen dining and living area with a contemporary fire providing the focal point and the south facing wall being framed with 3 double floor to ceiling sets of doors opening out to the park. The marble dining table and Dalton leather seating provides comfortable dining for 4 and 5 with a squeeze!
The living area is furnished with a blend of Arne Jacobsen inspired individual seating and modern leather sofas.
The property has 2 bedrooms: one with a kingsize bed and the other can be set up as twin or super kingsize. There are two deluxe bathrooms, one ensuite with a large shower while the second offers both shower or bath options. A comfortable fold out bed is available to provide sleeping for a fifth guest. Luxury Egyptian toweling and fine bedding is provided throughout.
The owners` 2 bicycles are available for use to allow guests to explore the town including a new mountain e-bike to provide a boost should you decide to venture further afield to discover the wider area.
A wee selection of Malt Whiskies is also available to hopefully help finish off a perfect day in historic St Andrews!
This property is relatively new to the market, however the family has another gem in the heart of St Andrews, standrewsbolthole.com, which has been a tremendous success with all guests awarding 5 star reviews!

About the host
Hosted by Adam Forbes
Our family purchased an apartment called the Bolthole in the heart of St Andrews several years back for use by all the family and to share with visitors to the town. It has been a great success (standrewsbolthole.com) as the reviews will testify.
When we saw this unique second property for sale, which had the benefit of both central location to ensure St Andrews could be explored by foot but also the convenience of dedicated parking, we couldn't resist.
This property is now run and managed independently by our son Adam.
We try to offer maximum flexibility with arrival/departure - a small key store is located outside allowing access to the keys at your convenience.
Adam stays a little over an hour away in Edinburgh.
All going smoothly, everything in the property should be self explanatory or contained in the information booklet. However, should there be any queries or problems we can be contacted 24 hrs a day and there is a lady in St Andrews available on call to sort out any problems requiring immediate assistance.

Why they chose this property
Our family and guests enjoy the property because of its close proximity to the heart of St Andrews but yet with its own dedicated parking combined with the benefits of being both modern and luxurious.
What makes this property unique
The property has all the latest technology - high speed fibre broadband, 4G HDR Ultra TV with Netflix, Amazon, Voice activated sound system and fully equipped kitchen. But the real special feature of the property is the bright sunny south facing aspect flooding the property with open views of the park and immediate access to the historic Lade Brae walk - these can be enjoyed on foot or by borrowing the owners 2 bikes, including a modern e-bike to help you up the hills! The quality of the finish testifies to this being our own family get-away rather than a stark commercial economic proposition.
