14/5 McDonald Road, Bellevue, EH7 4LZ

The property

One of just six flats in the building with only one flat per floor, 14/5 McDonald Road is presented to an immaculate, move-in standard throughout. Owing to convenient lift access, the property would suit a variety of buyers: from young professionals and downsizers to buy-to-let investors. Accessed via a secure shared foyer with stairs and a lift to the upper floors, on the fourth floor the front door opens into a spacious hallway. Here a good-sized utility cupboard conceals a washing machine and combi-boiler, plus additional storage. The kitchen, living room and dining room is bathed in light from a southwest-facing Juliet balcony. Partially enclosed by a convivial peninsula, the contemporary walnut-effect kitchen is paired with stone-effect work surfaces and houses a full complement of Smeg integrated appliances. The remaining floor space represents a versatile living/dining area set against a stunning backdrop. The double bedroom adjacent enjoys the same southwesterly aspect and views courtesy of another Juliet balcony. Its fresh and airy feel is enhanced by contemporary sage and white decor and the room features a mirrored wardrobe. At the other end of the hall the master bedroom is presented in rich charcoal and white hues and boasts fitted wardrobes, an additional built-in storage cupboard, and an en-suite bathroom concealed behind a mirrored sliding door. A further Juliet balcony affords natural light and benefits from full morning sun. Completing the accommodation is the three-piece shower room off the main hallway, which is immaculately tiled and features a wall-mounted vanity with an inset basin, a hidden-cistern WC and glazed shower compartment. The property further benefits from gas central heating and double-glazed windows. Externally controlled parking (Zone N1) is available by way of residents' permit (subject to the standard annual fee) and there is also pay and-display parking. Residents also enjoy use of a secure bike store to the rear of the property. Bellevue is a popular residential area located on the east of the city's New Town and sits at the top of Leith Walk.
