21/7 Marchmont Road is a beautifully proportioned top floor flat forming part of a traditional tenement building in the heart of highly desirable Marchmont.
The flat has been comprehensively upgraded in recent years, with improvements including a newly installed kitchen, contemporary shower room, replacement flooring and a modern boiler. The result is a bright and colourful home that successfully balances modern specification with retained period features.
The bay-windowed sitting room is an elegant and generously scaled space, with decorative cornicing, high ceilings and a traditional fireplace enhancing its character. The attractive bay window offers a view towards Edinburgh Castle and the impressive proportions allow for both comfortable seating and entertaining.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully redesigned to provide a modern and highly functional space, fitted with contemporary cabinetry and quality appliances. A recessed nook within the kitchen offers the perfect spot for informal dining or a cosy sitting area, adding versatility and charm to the layout.
There are two generous double bedrooms and the box room off the sitting room provides valuable additional accommodation, ideal as a home office or study. A stylish shower room, finished to a high standard, is situated off the welcoming central hall which is also home to two substantial storage cupboards.
Further benefits include gas central heating, a well-kept shared garden to the rear, and residents' permit parking.
