Enjoying a prime address in Edinburgh's vibrant Leith district, this superbly generous four-bedroom (plus a box room) third-floor duplex flat enjoys fantastic shopping and recreational amenities right on its doorstep, including the open green space of Leith Links and the Shore's exclusive bars and eateries just a short stroll away. Set within a B-Listed Victorian tenement, the flat is characterised by a versatile arrangement of generously-proportioned rooms, appealing neutral decor and numerous well-preserved period features. Accessed via a communal stairwell with secure entry, the flat opens into a spacious hall laid with plush carpeting which features through much of the property. Lit by double windows retaining their authentic working shutters, the living room allows for a variety of furniture configurations and is elegantly accentuated by ornate cornicing and a ceiling rose. Across the hall, benefiting from the afternoon sun is an attractive contemporary style kitchen. An array of stylish crisp-white wall and base units are pleasantly complemented by the warm tones of wood-effect worktops and flooring. An integrated oven, an electric hob and a dishwasher accompany a freestanding fridge freezer and a washing machine. Also located on this level are two of the four double bedrooms on offer, the largest of which incorporates a selection of characterful features namely a classic Edinburgh press for display storage, a window with working shutters and decorative cornicing. The bedroom to the rear benefits from the property's sunny south-westerly aspect. On the fourth floor, a landing affords access to excellent storage, with a deep store cupboard and a box room, as well the two remaining bedrooms and a bathroom.

Finally, a spacious bathroom comes replete with a WC, a pedestal basin and a bathtub with an overhead shower. Gas central heating and double glazing throughout ensure a warm, energy-efficient climate all year round. Externally, unrestricted on-street parking can be found in the immediate vicinity.
