Situated on the fourth floor of a traditional tenement building in the highly sought-after Old Town district, this appealing two-bedroom flat offers spacious accommodation and an enviable city centre location, perfectly suited to professionals, first-time buyers, investors, or those seeking a centrally located Edinburgh home.


The property enjoys a practical and spacious layout with well-defined living accommodation throughout. The welcoming entrance hallway provides access to all rooms and includes useful storage space. To the front of the property, the bright open plan sitting room/dining kitchen, creates an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is arranged along one wall, maximising floor space and natural light from the large windows. There are two well-sized double bedrooms, each offering ample space for freestanding furniture. The principal bedroom benefits from particularly generous dimensions, while the second bedroom would work equally well as a guest room, home office, or study.
