The property

Positioned on Edinburgh's northern coastline, with panoramic views across Edinburgh Marina and the Firth of Forth towards Fife, this modern two-bedroom fourth-floor apartment represents a premium home or buy-to-let investment in sought-after Granton. Residents of the factored development enjoy allocated parking in the secure, underground garage and ample visitors' parking in the vicinity, as well as use of a landscaped communal courtyard. The apartment is accessed by way of a secure shared entrance, and a lift or stairs to the fourth floor. Welcoming you inside is a generous hall with built-in storage and scope for additional hall furniture.Attractive timber-effect flooring and neutral decor create a fresh and airy ambience, and a blank canvas to suit every taste. This minimalist decor continues into the open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, which introduces stylish taupe accent walls. The space falls naturally into dedicated zones for cooking, dining and relaxing - and is dominated by windows and doors onto the private balcony. These yield framed views of the ever-changing seascape, stretching across the marina towards Newhaven, and as far as the rugged Fife coastline. The contemporary kitchen is styled in chic walnut and granite tones, and houses a full complement of integrated appliances. These include: a four-burner gas hob with a stainless steel hood, an electric single oven/grill, a washing machine, and a fridge-freezer. The dining area adjacent easily accommodates a six-seat dining table, while the decked balcony provides a magnificent setting for dining or entertaining al fresco. Returning to the hall, the property boasts two spacious double bedrooms. Both enjoy a sunny, southwesterly aspect and fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom also features direct 'Jack-and-Jill' access to the three-piece bathroom adjacent. The bathroom is immaculately tiled in neutral tones, and comprises a bath, a shower with a glass screen, a wall-mounted washbasin, a hidden-cistern toilet, an illuminated mirror, and a handy shaver socket. Gas-fired underfloor central heating and double-glazed windows ensure outstanding home comfort and efficiency, all year round. The apartment benefits from use of a landscaped communal courtyard and grounds, all of which are maintained by the factor. One allocated parking space is provided in the secure, underground garage and this is supplemented with ample visitors' parking within the development. Positioned some three miles from the city centre on Edinburgh's northern shoreline, historic Granton boasts a rich industrial and maritime heritage, and is undergoing a multi-million-pound transformation into a vibrant new city quarter. The waterfront area has already seen its popularity soar over the last decade, with the arrival of luxury apartments and penthouses, and new commercial, retail and leisure facilities. Residents enjoy a superb range of services and amenities, including Morrisons and ASDA supermarkets. Granton is also within sight of Ocean Terminal in Leith, where you'll find an array of high-street stores, cafes and restaurants, plus an M&S Food, a cinema complex, and a 24-hour gym. Popular with sailing and watersports enthusiasts, Granton is home to two yacht clubs, and offers a wide range of other sport and fitness pursuits: from walking and cycling along the waterfront towards Cramond Beach, to indoor climbing at Alien Rock in neighbouring Newhaven. The property falls within the catchment area for Granton Primary School and Broughton High School. Owing to its northerly setting Granton allows swift access to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh Airport, the M8, and the Queensferry Crossing. The area is also served by public transport links into the city centre and a direct bus to the airport. Granton stands to benefit from the extension of the tramline to neighbouring Newhaven, with the first passengers expected in 2023.
