Light and beautifully presented, one-bedroom, first-floor flat, forming part of a traditional stone-built tenement - with leafy, secluded views to the rear.
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Hillside area, moments from Edinburgh centre and the St James’ Quarter.

Leading into the living room, the space is finished with light and tasteful décor, complemented by contemporary flooring and further features.
Set just off the living room, the kitchen is finished with granite-effect countertops and a stylish splashback, along with a stainless-steel sink with drainer, integrated oven and gas hob with canopy above, washing machine and fridge/freezer.
The bedroom has been finished with matching flooring that flows seamlessly from the hallway, while large windows allow the space to benefit from plenty of natural light throughout.
Just off the bedroom is a convenient box room, providing additional flexible space suitable for extra storage or similar uses.
The hallway further benefits from a useful storage cupboard as well as a convenient WC.
Completing the property is the shower room, which features a two-piece suite including a separate shower cubicle.
Hillside is a sought-after residential area known for its elegant period architecture and excellent location within easy walking distance of Edinburgh city centre.
