With proximity to schools and local amenities, as well as being perfect for access to the city bypass and Edinburgh city centre, 79 Baberton Mains Drive is an ideal family home for those seeking a relaxed suburban lifestyle.
The beautifully appointed accommodation is characterised by large windows, giving rise to a home with a light filled airy ambience. Nestled back from the road behind a landscaped front garden, the front door opens into a bright reception hall framed by a decorative cornice, and with ample space for furniture. Enjoying an open outlook to the front, the living room offers space for a choice of lounge furniture centred around a contemporary, marble hearth with an inset gas fireplace. A wide archway connects this semi-open plan room to the dining area. A wall of windows incorporates double patio doors, creating an open flow into the south-facing rear garden. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with floor and wall mounted units, with wood cabinet doors, granite-styled worktops, and integrated appliances. A garden outlook is augmented by a glazed door, creating an additional useful link to the rear patio. From the central hall, the staircase (with under-stair cupboard) leads to the naturally lit first floor landing with three double bedrooms. All boasting fitted wardrobes and ample space for bedroom furniture, they share the same tranquil decor and airy ambience of the ground floor accommodation. The luxurious, fully tiled family bathroom has a bath with shower over, and WC-suite, incorporating a vanity unit. Gas central heating and double glazing throughout ensure year-round warmth within this family home.
To the rear, the sunny garden comes with a paved patio and expansive enclosed lawn. A driveway provides off-street parking, and a large garage (also accessible from the garden), offers undercover parking and useful additional storage.
