Under Offer

This spacious and characterful three-bedroom duplex flat boasts an enviable central address positioned along a quiet street in the Leith conservation area, with shops, bars, eateries, transport links (including the airport tram), and open greenery all just steps away. The flat is set on the upper two floors of a listed tenement and enjoys abundant period charm, along with stunning panoramic views of the city skyline encompassing Arthur’s Seat. Beautiful authentic features are offset by minimalist white décor that, along with large sash windows, create a wonderfully light and airy interior. Access to a shared garden and on-street parking complement this exceptional property.

The flat is reached via a secure communal stairwell. Welcoming you inside is an airy entrance hall featuring storage and natural pine flooring, a predominant feature in the home, adding warmth to the décor. Leading off the hall is a stunning living room bathed in afternoon sun. A central archway effectively creates two zones, each with a feature fireplace (one with a living-flame fire) and an open Edinburgh Press. Returning through the hall, you reach the second reception room - ideal for formal dining with direct kitchen access and built-in storage. The bright kitchen boasts modern gloss units in vibrant magenta and wood-toned worktops. It is accompanied by a freestanding gas cooker, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a tall fridge freezer.

This flat is completed by a bathroom and a handily separate WC. The spacious bathroom includes a shower-over-bath and a utility area with a freestanding washing machine and a ceiling-hung clothes pulley. The upper level comprises three bedrooms—a principal bedroom with useful storage, a second double with a charming cast iron fireplace, and a third bedroom currently set up as a study. The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing (except in the dining room, kitchen, and one bedroom).

Externally, there is shared access to a neatly tended rear garden, and on-street parking is controlled, ensuring priority for residents.
