The property

Enjoying an enviable position at the southern end of a B-listed Victorian school conversion, this breathtaking duplex apartment is defined by spectacular triple aspect windows to the east, south and west. Finished to a flawless standard throughout, the cohesive interior design concept of natural oak, crisp white and glass heightens the sense of space and light. A secure entry phone system allows access to the shared foyer, and from here the front door swings open to reveal the impressive hall. Floored in solid oak paired with crisp white walls, the hall provides a tantalising preview of the accommodation to follow. As you pass the stylish floating staircase, the space suddenly opens up into the magnificent living area. A stunning example of modern ‘broken plan’ design, the minimalist kitchen is tucked neatly on the right hand side, and cleverly screened from the main living area by a half height wall. The sleek handleless kitchen is topped with solid slabs of black granite, and houses a full range of integrated appliances. From here three steps ascend to the staggering double-height living room and dining room. Flooded with light from dawn ‘til dusk, this breathtaking blank canvass offers 33 square metres of flexible space for various configurations. The ground floor also accommodates a well-proportioned double bedroom with a fitted wardrobe; a generous single bedroom/snug; and the luxurious three-piece shower room. The contemporary staircase leads up to the mezzanine balcony, whose glass balustrade creates an illusion of floating above the main living area below. With fabulous natural light and endless scope for various uses, the space would make a fantastic study, home office or library. The landing beyond accommodates two further double bedrooms, which boast ample fitted storage and share the immaculate three-piece bathroom. Designed to match the shower room downstairs, the bathroom features a coordinating vanity unit, a wall-hung WC, a large bath and a towel radiator. The apartment benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout, and all the windows are fitted with electric-controlled blinds for maximum comfort and privacy. The development enjoys well-maintained communal areas, and is just five minutes’ walk from Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows. The property benefits from zoned permit parking (S1) and metered parking in the immediate vicinity. Renowned as a vibrant and sought-after suburb, Marchmont offers a variety of lovely period properties, leafy areas and outstanding retailers. Situated opposite the Meadows, this property is within easy walking distance to the historic Old Town, the New Town, Waverley Station and Edinburgh’s best universities. £570,000. EPC BAND D.
