The accommodation comprises: Hall; Lounge; Kitchen; 2 Double Bedrooms & Bathroom; Gas Central Heating; Double Glazing; Shared rear gardens;. Zone parking. Iona Street lies off Leith Walk, literally opposite Pilrig Church. The thoroughfare is now a vibrant street and the main connecting route between Edinburgh's city centre, Leith, with its highly popular waterfront. In recent years the area has blossomed and now boasts many highly regarded restaurants, cafes, bistros & bars, as well as the Omni Centre and the fabulous state of the art St James Quarter, both a short walk, south from the property. There are traditional local shops, whilst several supermarkets are within easy reach. Buses are plentiful, regular and the city's new TRAM extension now travels down to the seafront at Newhaven, plus, Edinburgh Airport, Hermiston Gate and the Gyle shopping centres, in the other direction. Princes Street, the bus station and Waverley train station are minutes from the property. Neighbouring Calton Hill provides some lovely walks and wonderful views across the city. The location has understandably become highly sought after. On the second floor of a traditional stone tenement, this bright flat has rooms to the front and rear, giving a real sense of space. The common parts of the stair & rear garden are well maintained ( always a good sign ) The flat has been rented out successfully and of course could be again; however, potential owner occupiers will note still further potential to create a comfortable home, with lots of character. A flat across the landing was re-furbished and sold at the end of last year at £290,000!! There is double glazing, gas central heating & residents' zone parking.
