A striking duplex apartment in the RIBA award‑winning Otto Building, arranged over the fourth and fifth floors with direct, westerly views across Hackney Downs. The large, open-plan living floor is bright and airy, with oak floors, underfloor heating and triple-glazed floor-to-ceiling doors leading to a private balcony. The contemporary kitchen includes integrated SMEG appliances, reverse-osmosis drinking water and a soft water system that helps protect appliances.
Sleeping accommodation occupies the lower level and includes two generous doubles, both with en‑suite bathrooms. The principal suite features a bespoke LEMMA Italian walk‑in wardrobe and a bath plus double shower. Thoughtful fittings include Luxaflex thermal blackout blinds, natural fibre carpets and plentiful built-in storage, making this a low-maintenance, high-spec home.
Residents benefit from strong communal amenities: concierge, private gym, secure cycle storage, lift access, and a large fourth-floor communal terrace that sits right on the edge of the park. Transport links are excellent with multiple Overground and rail stations within a short walk and easy routes into the City.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (long lease remaining) with a ground rent of £375 and council tax described as above average. Heating is provided by a community scheme rather than an individual boiler. The neighbourhood is lively and inner‑city; while local amenities and schools are strong, the wider area is recorded as having high deprivation and average crime levels.
