Zensational penthouse apartments

Miller Homes has released onto the market one of the penthouse apartments at the Aalto, Zen Buildings. Named after Alvar Aalto, one of the greatest designer/architects of the twentieth century, the building showcases the best in contemporary design. From the show-stopping glass walled reception onwards, its combination of sleek specification and stunning spaces sets it apart.

Take the lift to the top of the building and you will find Apartment Type 1 – the penthouse - the only home of this design available at Zen.

Enter its long hallway and the size and grandeur of this home becomes apparent. Stretching before you is the entrance hall, running to the master suite at the end. Before then, to the left, is the generous second bedroom which extends to over 15’, the useful store and the opulent bathroom.

At the end of the hallway is the large, square master bedroom. The near side of the suite is the luxurious en-suite shower room, designed as a haven from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The far side of the bedroom leads to the capacious decked terrace, which runs outside the master bedroom and lounge.

The open plan living space is reached via double doors from the hallway. This impressively spacious room, like the master bedroom, is flooded with natural light from its patio doors. An elegant heart of the home, it celebrates the sleek modernism that Aalto pioneered.

Sue Warwick, Sales and Marketing Director of Miller Homes, said: “With such a special location amongst the mature trees of the conservation area of Heaton, we were determined that these homes would match the prestige of the area.

“So the architecture allows this apartment to be incredibly spacious. But more than that, it is extremely light and incredibly elegant.

“To match this, we have included an extraordinarily luxurious specification. So the kitchen includes integrated appliances by Zanussi the bathroom uses beautiful contemporary sanitaryware by Ideal Standard.

“The decked terrace gives unsurpassed views over the landscaped gardens and trees and beyond to the hills. And yet it is within walking distance of Bolton town centre. This penthouse is so special in so many ways. It truly celebrates the brilliance of Aalto - by recreating it.”

The penthouse is priced at £275,950.

Launched last month, 6 of Aalto’s 21 apartments and penthouses have already sold. Further details are available from Zen’s Marketing Suite located on Overdale Drive and is open from Thursday to Monday from 10.30am to 5.30 pm. For further details, visit Millerhomes.co.uk.
