2 bedroom duplex apartment for sale

This third/fourth-floor duplex apartment benefits from high-end contemporary interiors and all the charms of period architecture – the spacious rooms with high ceilings and a flood of light from traditional sash windows. The end result is an outstanding city apartment that is immaculately presented. Set within a redeveloped 200-year-old A-listed Georgian building (circa 1790) in the prestigious New Town conservation area and UNESCO World Heritage Site, it forms part of one of the most significant examples of British urban planning, and is complete with a beautiful façade of droved Craigleith sandstone ashlar and polished dressings. The home features a stylish open-plan reception area and high specification breakfasting kitchen, two double bedrooms, and an opulent bathroom equipped with a four-piece suite. Highly sought-after, this property also boasts an exclusive location in the capital, just a brief stroll from all the city centre offers.

Reached via a shared entrance and well-kept communal stairwell, the home’s front door is on the second floor, opening to stairs leading up to a third-floor hall. The hall offers a warm welcome and a glimpse of the high-quality interiors to follow.

The open-plan kitchen/living/dining room is carefully coordinated to create a refined and elegant reception space, benefitting from crisp neutral décor and the warm glow of a herringbone floor. It is a suave minimalist-inspired aesthetic that is further enhanced by a wonderful array of traditional 12-pane sash-and-case windows, alongside additional Velux rooflights for an unbelievably bright and airy ambience. It has spacious dimensions for both lounge and dining furniture, and a built-in cupboard for on-hand storage.

With a mix of white and wood-hued cabinets, the high-specification kitchen perfectly complements the styling of the reception area, accentuating its sophisticated aesthetic. It is arranged in a galley style and boasts luxurious quartz worktops, with one side doubling as a 4-person breakfast bar for quick meals and socialising whilst cooking. Furthermore, it has a deep walk-in cupboard for additional storage and high-end integrated appliances for a sleek and streamlined finish.

The two double bedrooms both maintain the home’s meticulous attention to detail, each room enjoying attractive neutral décor and plush carpets for underfoot comfort. The second bedroom is on the upper floor boasting access to eaves storage. It also has a clever partition to look out over the living area, allowing dual-aspect light to bathe the room for an added airy ambience.

The spacious family bathroom, with underfloor heating, has a pristine aesthetic with neutral decoration and premium tile work. It also has a luxurious four-piece suite which is comprised of a hidden-cistern toilet, a washbasin, a towel radiator, built-in storage, a deep double-ended bathtub with a handheld shower, and a double walk-in shower enclosure with handheld and overhead rainfall showers.

Extras: all fitted floor coverings, window blinds, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances (gas hob, oven and microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher) to be included in the sale. The furniture is also available by separate negotiation.

Just a brief stroll from Princes Street Gardens and the tranquil Water of Leith walkway, the property is ideally positioned for some of Edinburgh’s best loved green spaces. It ensures ample opportunities to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital. Furthermore, homeowners have access to the private Queen Street Gardens for a modest yearly subscription.
