Almeida Street, Islington, London, N1

This impressive five storey home, sitting off Upper Street, has undergone a full and meticulous renovation and remodelling. The owner has incorporated luxury, high end appliances and fittings including Jim Lawrence, Beata Heumen, Rose Uniacke and Fisher & Paykel to offer a stylish contemporary feel with period elegance. Unusually for Islington homes, the staircase sits at the rear of this house, which means the rooms throughout not only have high ceilings but are both long and wide. Over the lower ground level is a fabulous open plan kitchen and dining room, running back over 27’ with a fully fitted and integrated kitchen and separate laundry room. To the rear, double doors lead out to a new wrought iron staircase that lead up to a large, South facing, courtyard garden. There is ample living space with a double reception on the ground floor, again with doors leading to a terrace and the courtyard, and a large full width elegant reception over the first floor. Both these rooms have high ceilings and original features, including cornice and fire places. Over the top two floors are the bedrooms. Of note, is the stunning open plan primary bedroom suite with a bedroom area to the front, a long run of deep wardrobes and a fabulous bath and shower area. At the top of the house there are two double bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings and a Jack & Jill bathroom. This is a true ‘turn-key’ house and has to be seen.
