18/1 Calton Hill, Calton, Edinburgh, EH1 3BJ

Closing Date Set- Friday 7th November 12pm

Tucked away in the centre of the city, located on the iconic Calton Hill is this stunning two bedroom apartment, finished to an impeccably high standard throughout. The property has been lovingly and significantly renovated to create sophisticated spaces, complimented by tasteful décor and notably impressive finishes. Externally, the building has benefitted from major upgrades in recent times. New lime render has been applied to both the front and back of the building and upgrades have been made to the roof.

The front door opens onto an attractive hallway with Amtico flooring and a storage cupboard. Quietly situated to the rear is the impressive, generously proportioned sitting room / dining room where panelled walls and a striking marble fireplace with open flame gas fire creates a superb focal point. With plenty of space for dining, this beautiful space is a wonderful place in which to relax.

The sleek lines of the wall and base mounted kitchen cabinetry are brought together by the elegant silestone worktops and splashbacks, well-lit with both ceiling and counter top lighting. Fitted with a large dual fuel range cooker, the kitchen also incorporates Siemens appliances (a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine). The outlook is towards the communal garden area.

Flooded with natural light from large, dual aspect windows, the master bedroom is a sumptuous space, with an attractive fireplace and extensive fitted wardrobes. To the rear is a second double bedroom with a feature wall. Located off the second bedroom is a striking, contemporary en-suite with a large walk in shower, WC and wash hand basin. Last but by no means least is the luxurious bathroom with a rainfall shower over the bath, WC and wash hand basin and cabinets below, surrounded by large marble effect ceramic wall tiles and hexagonal mosaic marble floor tiles.

All rooms benefit from working shutters and central heating system which was upgraded with new radiators and a new boiler in recent years (controlled by Google Nest).

There is a charming mid level shared garden terrace, which allows for an al-fresco dining experience in good weather. Permit holder parking is available on the street outside.
