The property

Situated in the capital's vibrant Leith area within minutes' walk to the Shore's waterside, this extensively renovated two-bedroom, second-floor flat boasts immaculate decor and contemporary finishes, whilst still retaining a wealth of characterful period features. Presenting a perfect city home for professionals or a young family, the property also comes with access to a shared garden and unrestricted on-street parking nearby. Entered via a communal stairwell with secure entry, the flat opens into a large, high-ceilinged reception hall. Presented in neutral tones enhanced by stripped original doors, elegant cornicing and attractive solid wood parquet flooring (which flows seamlessly through to the living room), the hall gives an excellent first impression of the appealing interiors to follow. On the right, a wonderfully bright and spacious living and dining room awaits. Enjoying a sunny southwest-facing aspect and partial views of Calton Hill from its twin windows, this welcoming reception area offers flexible floor space for lounge furniture and a seated dining area. Finished in stylish grey decor accompanied by crisp-white finishings (including tall skirting boards), the living room also features two traditional Edinburgh Presses and original cornicing, adding a touch of period charm to the space. Next door, the crisp and contemporary kitchen is equipped with a range of white cabinets supplemented by spacious solid wood worktops and stylish marble-tiled splashbacks. A selection of integrated appliances includes an eye-level electric oven, a gas hob paired with a gleaming extractor hood and a dishwasher; this leaves space for a tall, freestanding fridge freezer and an undercounter washing machine. The flat houses two perfectly- presented double bedrooms. Both bedrooms enjoy immaculate decor enhanced by stylish white-washed wood-styled flooring, and they both offer generous floor space for freestanding bedroom furniture. Finally, a pristine bathroom (with luxurious underfloor heating) comes replete with a shower-over-bath with a glazed screen and stylish wall tiling, and a contemporary WC-suite. Gas central heating and double glazing throughout ensure optimum comfort and efficiency all year round. Externally, the property benefits from access to a shared rear garden.
