From the moment you step through the door, this is a property that impresses. A two level duplex set within The Otto, one of Hackney's most striking developments, it carries genuine presence; slick, versatile and unmistakably special, with direct views over Hackney Downs from both levels.<br/><br/>Step inside and the ground floor makes its intentions clear from the outset. A striking entrance opens into a generous open plan living space that simply flows; a beautifully fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, an elegant dining area and a spacious reception that invites you to settle in. But it is the sense of volume that truly sets it apart; soaring ceilings and floor to ceiling windows fill the space with light and frame uninterrupted views over the park, the kind of bright, open outlook you simply will not find living in Central London. It is a space made for entertaining and effortless hosting, yet it turns its hand just as naturally to quiet, everyday living. A cloakroom, a separate laundry room and excellent storage complete the ground floor, before an impressive staircase draws the eye upward.<br/><br/>On the upper level, the home unfolds in two directions. To the left, a principal bedroom with its own en suite sits alongside a family bathroom. To the right, two additional rooms provide great versatility, to be used as two bedrooms or indeed a guest bedroom paired with a further sitting room or home office, flexing exactly as needed. A first floor balcony ties it all together, accessible from all three rooms; the perfect spot to take in those uninterrupted park views.<br/><br/>It is this versatility that sets the property apart. It would suit the young professional seeking a slice of impressive city living; the family craving the feel of a house with the ease and security of a turnkey home; or the frequent traveller who values a lock up and leave lifestyle backed by a professional concierge.<br/><br/>The Otto is a beautifully considered development, and residents enjoy a genuinely elevated set of amenities. A professional concierge looks after the day to day, while a residents' wellness and gym room, a stylish residents' lounge and a communal roof terrace offer space to unwind, work out or entertain beyond your own four walls. Secure underground bike storage and parking complete a package built around modern, connected living; all wrapped within a secure, well managed building that lets you come and go with total peace of mind.<br/><br/>This is Hackney at its best. Set directly opposite Hackney Downs Park, a swathe of open green space right on the doorstep, the home offers the rare luxury of parkland views in the heart of one of London's most creative and vibrant neighbourhoods. It is a genuinely friendly, community minded pocket, moments from the independent cafés, restaurants and shops that give the area its buzz, with London Fields, Dalston, Stoke Newington and Chatsworth Road all within easy reach. For connections, Hackney Downs, Rectory Road and Clapton stations are all close by, putting the City and beyond within quick, easy reach. Funky, characterful and effortlessly cool; this is a place that lets you live the very best of East London life.<br/><br/>Quote Reference: 822105
