Situated within a contemporary development in the heart of Fountainbridge, this particularly spacious one-bedroom apartment enjoys a superb location just moments from the Union Canal, excellent amenities and transport links.

A full-height window draws in excellent natural light, while the contemporary kitchen is fitted with sleek cabinetry, generous worktop space and a range of quality integrated appliances including a dishwasher, electric oven (newly installed June 2026), microwave, electric hob, extraction fan and fridge freezer.

The generously proportioned double bedroom with ample space for freestanding furniture also benefits from a large built-in wardrobe with integrated drawer storage.

The stylish, partially tiled bathroom is fitted with a modern three-piece suite with waterfall shower over the bath, complemented by extensive built-in storage.

Further benefits include gas-fired hydronic underfloor heating with independently controlled zones and modern double glazing.
