About
Set within an elegant traditional stone-built Georgian tenement, this beautifully presented two-bedroom, second (top) floor flat enjoys a prime position in Edinburgh's sought-after Trinity area—just north of the city centre and moments from the waterfront and charming Newhaven Harbour.
The welcoming hallway offers excellent storage, including a spacious built-in cupboard, and features a secure entry system, space for outerwear, a ceiling-mounted drying pulley, and a classic pendant light fitting.
To the front, the generously sized living room is flooded with natural light and showcases timeless period features, including a feature fireplace, ornate cornicing with a ceiling rose, and varnished hardwood flooring.
Adjacent, the contemporary kitchen is also front-facing and fitted with stylish modern units, marble-effect worktops, a sink with drainer, and quality appliances including an integrated oven and gas hob, as well as a freestanding washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer.
Both bright and spacious double bedrooms are quietly situated to the rear, overlooking well-maintained communal gardens.
Each room is carpeted and fitted with pendant lighting, offering a peaceful and private retreat.
A modern bathroom completes the accommodation, featuring a three-piece suite with a mains shower over the bath, a frosted front-facing window, water-resistant tiled flooring, a heated towel rail, and ample built-in storage.
Additionally, a versatile box room off the hallway benefits from a skylight and wood-effect flooring—ideal as a home office, dressing room, or additional storage.
