The property

Set on the second floor of an exclusive, contemporary development in Portobello, this beautifully presented apartment enjoys two bedrooms, an open-plan living area, and two bathrooms, all enhanced by stylish, modern interiors. The apartment also benefits from access to a fabulous roof terrace with sea views, as well as a secure allocated parking space. A shared entrance with a secure video entry system and a lift or stairs lead to the apartment on the second floor, where the front door opens into a long hall with built-in storage, including a large cupboard with space for a study area, immediately setting the tone for the interiors to follow with tasteful, neutral decor and warm wood-styled flooring. Following the hall along to the end, you reach the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, an ideal open space for everyday family life and entertaining alike. The room is illuminated by generous glazing, including French windows ornamented by a Juliet balcony, and the living area offers excellent flexibility for lounge and dining furniture. In the adjoining kitchen, a wide range of modern matte-white cabinets are framed by spacious grey worktops and an on-trend mustard yellow accent wall. Neatly integrated appliances comprise an oven, a microwave, an induction hob, an extractor hood, a fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher, whilst a washer/dryer is housed in a utility cupboard in the hall. The apartment accommodates two double bedrooms, both continuing the stylish presentation of the preceding accommodation with their own individual, contemporary decor and the same wood-styled flooring. The sleeping areas both incorporate built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors and the principal boasts an en-suite shower room with a large shower enclosure, a basin set into vanity storage, and a WC. Finally, a bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a vanity unit with an inset basin, and a WC. The apartment is kept warm by a gas heating system and benefits from double-glazed windows. Externally, the development offers a fabulous roof terrace with sea views, as well as secure bike stores and a secure, gated private car park with an allocated space for the property. Extras: all fitted floor coverings, window blinds, light fittings, integrated kitchen appliances, and washer/dryer will be included in the sale. Factor: The development is managed by Myreside Property Management for an approximate quarterly fee of £240-£250. Located approximately three miles northeast of the city centre, the desirable suburb of Portobello enjoys the best of both worlds: a quaint seaside ambience with the perks of city life right on its doorstep. Set beside a long sandy beach and promenade, within sight of Arthurs Seat and within minutes of the picturesque East Lothian countryside, it is easy to understand why this is one of the capitals most popular postcodes! The area is served by a fantastic range of local services and amenities, with more extensive shopping facilities available in Musselburgh or Fort Kinnaird just a short drive away. Or for a more local, traditional shopping experience, the bustling High Street is lined with a charming array of shops, including cafes, restaurants, galleries, independent retailers, bakers, butchers, and greengrocers. For sport and fitness enthusiasts, Portobello Swim Centre boasts swimming facilities, a well-equipped gym, and a varied programme of fitness classes, as well as Edinburgh's only public authentic Turkish Baths. Portobello offers a superb choice of schools in both the public and private sector. The area is extremely popular with commuters owing to its excellent public transport links into the city centre, as well as its proximity to Edinburgh City Bypass and the A1.
