This beautiful, impressive and spacious two bedroom, plus box room, property opens into a bright and welcoming lower ground-floor home, offering a superb blend of period charm and modern comfort. Designed by the renowned architect William Playfair, the property has been newly refurbished to a high, modern standard throughout and enjoys both historical significance and refined architectural detail. With a central Edinburgh location, it is a short stroll from Princes Street and St James Quarter, as well as having excellent transport links with trams, buses and Waverley Station nearby. The large entrance immediately sets the tone, with a sense of space and an abundance of natural light creating a bright and airy first impression. The living/dining room is a truly tranquil and standout space, showcasing a wealth of original features including a striking original fireplace and traditional Edinburgh press. Two large, impressive, south-facing windows flood the room with natural light while offering stunning views of Calton Hill. Fresh décor, following a high-standard refurbishment, enhances the sense of space, making this room ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. Just off the living room, a versatile additional room is currently utilised as a home office, benefiting from natural light to create an open and flexible working environment. The separate kitchen is well-appointed and stylish, finished with neutral tones and a tiled splashback. It offers ample storage and workspace, providing a clean and practical setting for everyday use. The property boasts two generously sized double bedrooms, each featuring grand windows that allow natural light to pour in, further enhancing the sense of space and elegance throughout. The windows all have working shutters. The main shower room is well-proportioned and finished in a chic, contemporary style, complete with a large shower. In addition, a separate WC provides a valuable and somewhat rare convenience for a two-bedroom property.
