Description
Description
74 (2F1) Thistle Street is an attractive and contemporary two bedroom second floor apartment. The property is in a fantastic position; it is in the heart of Edinburgh's city centre, with some of the best restaurants, bars and retail shops it has to offer just moments away.
This stunning second-floor apartment is set within a classic Georgian tenement, blending period charm with carefully curated interiors. The current owner has thoughtfully designed the space, creating a stylish and unique home with superb entertaining areas and well-balanced bedrooms.
The apartment showcases exquisite attention to detail, featuring elegant décor, restored four-panel vintage doors with period bronze fittings, and antique-style dimmer switches. Natural textures flow throughout, with seagrass flooring adding warmth and character. A newly installed gas central heating system, complemented by reclaimed cast iron radiators, ensures modern comfort while preserving the building’s heritage.
The highlight of the home is the spectacular double-length reception room, bathed in natural light from three large sash windows with beautifully restored wooden shutters. This expansive space is perfect for both relaxing and entertaining, effortlessly accommodating both a sitting and dining area.
The characterful kitchen is a standout feature. A striking stainless steel free-standing unit, exposed copper pipework, and vintage brass taps create a bold aesthetic, complemented by high-quality integrated appliances.
The bathroom is bathed in natural light from a south-facing window with bespoke working shutters. A classic free-standing cast iron bath serves as the centrepiece, paired with timeless period-style fittings to create a serene retreat.
The generously proportioned principal bedroom, positioned at the rear, benefits from two south-facing windows and an array of bespoke fitted wardrobes. It leads to a strikingly designed study, which offers flexible use as a dressing room, additional bedroom, or potential en suite. A further charming double bedroom is located at the front of the property, complete with restored wooden shutters.
This exceptional home perfectly balances period elegance with contemporary design, offering a truly unique living experience in a sought-after location.
