The property

Forming part of a traditional tenement building in popular Polwarth, this outstanding family home comes fully upgraded and completely refurbished, with a loft conversion creating a fantastic four-bedroom third/fourth-floor duplex apartment in the city. The property further boasts brand new fixtures and fittings throughout, including a contemporary kitchen, two luxury bathrooms, and new flooring, all upgraded by prestigious, Edinburgh-based, Birchglen Joinery Limited. The home enjoys appealing neutral décor and comes fully rewired for efficiency. It is also HMO compliant with a sprinkler system throughout – ideal for buy-to-let investors. In addition, it has a prime location beside the Union Canal, within easy walking distance of Haymarket train station, the city centre, and fashionable Morningside. Reached via a secure communal entrance and stairwell, the home's front door opens into an immaculate hallway with crisp white walls and solid oak flooring – attractive features for new buyers that flow throughout much of the property. It offers deep storage before leading into the grand living room, which is framed by a highly ornate feature fireplace and fronted by a bay window. The generous footprint fosters an airy ambience that is further enhanced by the high period ceiling detailed with lavish cornicing. Lots of natural light floods the space creating a cheerful and tranquil setting for everyday living, whilst two Edinburgh Press-type cupboards offer useful display storage. The south-facing dining kitchen is to the rear of the property. Here, modern handle-less cabinets and timber-style worktops are complemented by fashionable, olive green metro splashback tiles, which accentuate the design bringing colour and added sophistication. Appliances are seamlessly integrated for a contemporary finish (ceramic hob, electric oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and built-in microwave). There is also a shelved recess for display storage, under-cabinet lights for mood lighting, and ample room for a family dining table for sociable dinner parties. An open utility room adjoins the kitchen, well-appointed with matching cabinetry and a washer/dryer. Also with a beneficial south-facing aspect and a peaceful rear location, the spacious master bedroom is presented with plush, on-trend carpeting in light grey and with well-proportioned dimensions for bedside furnishings. Finishing this floor is a suave three-piece bathroom, with a double-ended bathtub stylishly enveloped with marble-style wet walling. Upstairs, a naturally-lit landing leads to three additional double bedrooms, all of which are completed to the same exacting standards as the master bedroom. Furthermore, they are brightly illuminated by skylights for an airy atmosphere. An immaculate shower room with a high-spec three-piece suite (including a walk-in shower) completes this outstanding home. Gas central heating (via a new combi-boiler) and double glazing throughout ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. Outside, the apartment has access to a sunny communal garden for summer drinks and barbecues. Controlled parking is also available with a residents' permit (Zone S3). Please note: The living room, kitchen and master bedroom have been virtually staged from actual photographs of the rooms.
