A distinctive home in Dundee, situated on Harestane Road, has recently been listed for sale, captivating potential buyers with its unique bar area. The property, which features three bedrooms, is structurally sound but requires significant refurbishment, something that the marketing agents, McEwan Fraser Legal, highlight as an opportunity for imaginative buyers. They suggest that, with the right investment, it has the potential to transform into a stunning family home in a sought-after location.

Upon entering, prospective buyers will find a spacious hallway leading into a generously sized living room, while the kitchen, characterised by bright red units and a breakfast bar, adds a splash of colour to the home. A few steps down from the living room, the bar and games room beckons, accentuated by pink carpets and modern LED lighting. This fun and unique space is likely to become a focal point for gatherings. Additionally, the ground floor hosts a master bedroom and a family bathroom featuring an inviting large corner bathtub, perfect for relaxing after a busy day.

Moving to the first floor, two further double bedrooms, a walk-in cupboard, and a WC provide ample space for a family. The home is complemented by front and rear gardens, as well as two driveways and a garage, enhancing its appeal as a family residence. On the market for offers over £215,000, it is noteworthy that this property stands out amid other offerings in Dundee, such as a luxurious two-bedroom apartment or a five-bedroom penthouse boasting views of the picturesque River Tay.

Further afield in Dundee, a penthouse apartment in Riverside Drive lists for offers starting at £270,000 and features luxurious living with spectacular views of the River Tay.

As the real estate landscape in Dundee evolves, the unique home on Harestane Road offers an intriguing prospect for buyers hunting for a blend of character and potential in a city rich with diverse options—ranging from luxury apartments to unique period homes—catering to a wide array of tastes and budgets.
