An elegant and flexible first floor apartment on one of the New Town’s most sought-after streets
Description
Occupying the preferred first floor of a handsome Georgian townhouse, this charming apartment enjoys a prestigious position on Great King Street, widely regarded as one of Edinburgh’s most desirable addresses within the city's historic New Town.
The property offers elegant proportions throughout, with exceptional natural light and original period features. Entered via a well-maintained communal stair, the accommodation opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a useful storage cupboard.
To the front of the property are two generously sized double bedrooms, one of which was more recently used as a comfortable sitting room. To the rear, the impressive drawing room-style living and dining room enjoys a sunny southerly aspect and provides a wonderful space for entertaining. A separate kitchen sits just off this room, along with a well-appointed bathroom.
The layout offers flexibility to suit different needs, whether as a spacious one-bedroom home with grand entertaining space, or a two-bedroom city centre residence.
While the property would now benefit from modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity to create a stylish and bespoke home in the heart of Edinburgh.
