Estate agents list the £65,000 flat as “a world of contemporary elegance” with a “bloodstain” on the floor, with a “masterpiece” kitchen, a lounge that’s “an oasis of relaxation” and laminate flooring that’s “a… touch of sophistication”.

Apartment seekers were left at a loss after realtors made an apartment with “blood” on the living room floor sound like “downtown New York.”

The two-bedroom property in Garthamlock, Glasgow, drew mockery on social media after it appeared to have suspicious stains on the carpet – but was sold as “a world of contemporary elegance” by optimistic sellers.

Real estate agents describe the modest dwelling as, among other things, a “world of contemporary elegance,” “an oasis of relaxation” and a “haven of luxury.”

But there is evidence that the apartment is being renovated – with smeared paint and a ladder leaning against the wall.

Meanwhile, in the center of the bedroom’s white carpet is a questionable spot of red — which could draw buyer’s attention away from other positives like the modern wallpaper and walk-in closet.

Despite its rather unremarkable exterior and ordinary interior, real estate agent Harbor Property marketed the home as “a world of contemporary elegance.”

The apartment features gleaming hardwood floors that usher the potential buyer into an unfinished living room.

To put it bluntly, “Enter a world of contemporary elegance with this exceptional two bedroom penthouse nestled in the heart of desirable Garthamlock.”

“The spacious lounge is an oasis of relaxation with ample space for your lifestyle needs.

“The laminate flooring adds a touch of sophistication, perfectly complemented by a large window that fills the space with natural light and creates an inviting ambiance that is truly second to none.”

“For the culinary enthusiast, the well-equipped kitchen is a masterpiece of design and functionality.

“Both bedrooms are generous in size, offering a tranquil haven for rest and relaxation. Bedroom one delights with soft carpets that add extra comfort to your private retreat.

“Bedroom two, on the other hand, features laminate flooring, providing a sleek and stylish space that can be easily adapted to meet your changing needs.

“The fully tiled bathroom is a haven of luxury, featuring a pristine white lounge suite and power shower.

“Outside, a communal garden beckons, providing a tranquil space for leisurely strolls or lively gatherings with friends and family.

“Embodiing the spirit of modern city living, this top floor apartment also has excellent freeway access, making your daily commute a breeze and opening the door to endless exploration and adventure.”

“Don’t miss the opportunity to make this exquisite two bedroom apartment in Garthamlock your new home.”

There is further evidence that the apartment underwent a renovation before it was sold.

The walls appear smudged in places and a ladder is leaning against the back wall of the living room, suggesting there is room for more paint.

More stains can be seen on the back walls of the kitchen before house visitors are led to the first bedroom.
