Granite gem: With five bedrooms, a home office, a bar and a large back garden, 62 Hammerfield Avenue ticks all the right boxes. Photos supplied by Aberdein Considine.

With its very own prosecco palace, this five-bedroom home granite home is the toast of the town.

Sparkling from top to bottom, this stunning semi-detached home in Hammerfield Avenue – close to the Deeside Line – has been renovated to offer the very best in open plan family living.

But it’s the outdoor summer house that really raises the bar.

Featuring graffiti style décor and neon pink lights, the bespoke bar is where the party is at.

The summer house has been transformed into a prosecco bar.

Murder mystery night

Over the years, Louise Thomson and her husband John have enjoyed many memorable parties at their contemporary home.

“We organised a murder mystery party for one of John’s birthdays with a studio 54 theme,” says Louise, who works as a recruitment consultant at Wood Group while her husband John is self employed at JST bathrooms.

Built in the late 1930s, it was the location and the individual look of the home that first attracted the couple to the property.

The herringbone flooring is one of the striking features in the elegant lounge.

Sun trap of a garden

After 10 years and many good times, the couple, who share their home with their little ones, Elle, six, and three-year-old Theo, have put their wonderful property on the market as they move to be closer to family.

“We’re really going to miss the open plan living space which has been great for us as a family as it’s really easy living,” says Louise.

“We’ll also miss the garden – it is a sun trap!”

This garden was made for al fresco entertaining.

Super king master suite

The blood, sweat and tears that Louise and John have poured into revamping this granite gem of a home is evident throughout.

From the open plan dining kitchen/family and dining area to the super king sized master suite complete with balcony, every inch of this home has been meticulously designed with luxury family living in mind.

“It was a total renovation project as we added a double storey extension complete with a master bedroom with en suite and a dining/family area,” says Louise.

“We also added a garage, an outside summer house, and we re-landscaped the back garden.”

Wake up raring to go after a cosy sleep in this fantastic bedroom.

Open plan dining kitchen

Undoubtedly the heart of the home, the open plan dining kitchen/family area is particularly impressive with bi-folding doors out to the back garden as well as a feature wine wall and wood burning stove.

Meanwhile, family movie nights can be enjoyed in the elegant main lounge.

Perfect for growing families, the home also has a fifth bedroom which is currently used a playroom.

The open plan dining kitchen is sleek and sophisticated.

“The layout of the house is likely to appeal most to buyers as it’s a great open plan living space especially the kitchen/dining/living area,” says Louise.

“I think people will also like the enclosed garden with private driveway and garage.”

Working from home

Those who work from home are also well catered for as one of the bedrooms has been transformed into a home office.

Although the family have loved everything about their amazing home, it’s the property’s fantastic city centre location in Mannofield which they have enjoyed the most.

“What we’ve enjoyed most about living here is the location as it’s great for all ameneties; cafes, walks and Duthie Park is around 30 minute’s walk along the railway line from us.”

The open plan dining/ kitchen and family area is made for relaxing.

Herringbone flooring

Families are also sure to be attracted to the large back garden where there is a lawn, patio and the fantastic summer house.

“I think the property would suit a family or a couple looking for their next property step on the ladder as it’s a great family house with all the perks of city centre living,” says Louise.

Other key features include three bathrooms, herringbone flooring, off-street parking, a single garage with an electric up and over roller door and under floor heating in the shower room.

This bright and modern room is the perfect home office.

Location wise, Hammerfield Avenue enjoys the best of both worlds as long walks or cycles can be enjoyed along the Old Deeside Railway Line which is accessed at the bottom of the street while all the buzz of the city centre is just a stone’s throw away.

And with plenty of schools, shops and just 30 minute’s from Duthie Park, the location is family friendly.
