McEwan Fraser is delighted to present this superb one-bedroom ground-floor duplex flat to the market. The property forms part of the iconic Playfair development, a modern reimagination of the former Donaldson's school, which has long been recognised as one of the most important landmark buildings in the city. Internally, the property benefits from secure underground parking, and it is presented to the market in excellent condition. This would be an ideal first-time buy or sound investment purchase. Entering the property, accommodation on the lower level includes an open plan kitchen and living room and a WC. The designer kitchen is perfectly formed for a property of this size and includes quality integrated appliances and Corian worktops. The living area has excellent levels of natural light, laminate flooring, and neutral decor. Moving upstairs, the bedroom is a well-proportioned double with a large integrated wardrobe and plenty of space for additional freestanding furniture. The bedroom also gives access to an ensuite bathroom which boasts contemporary tiling and a three-piece white suite with a shower over the bath. Residents enjoy exclusive access to The Playfair's concierge service and several communal spaces, including the boutique Club Room and Chapel Room, where neighbours can meet, work, or relax and unwind in elegant surroundings. Externally, there are 16 acres of grounds to explore, and there is an internal courtyard that has been beautifully landscaped and provides a haven in the heart of Edinburgh city centre. The property is close to the city centre and has easy access to a range of transport links. This apartment also comes with an allocated space in the secure underground car park.
