    SOLD - SUBJECT TO CONCLUSION OF MISSIVES

    Situated on a quiet residential street with unrestricted parking, and with excellent local amenities and transport links around the city, 5 Inverleith Avenue represents a remarkable city home in a highly desirable location.

    Privately situated behind a gated front garden, the welcoming front entrance leads, via an inner vestibule (with an original tiled floor), into a long hallway. Here, a soaring ceiling is framed by a decorative cornice, with soft-toned walls, wood flooring, and original panelled doors. To the front, the impressive living/dining room enjoys generous floor space for comfortable seating and dining furniture. Period details include intricate cornicing and an open Edinburgh press, an ornate feature fireplace and deep bay window overlooking the front garden. Conveniently adjacent, the contemporary kitchen boasts chic white-toned fitted cabinets, with a contrasting worktop, and a range of appliances. There is also room for a small table. An adjoining utility cupboard provides additional storage and space for a washer.

    Two double bedrooms, each with soft-toned décor and cosy carpets for extra comfort, enjoy a quiet position to the rear of the flat. The first bedroom additionally benefits from double fitted wardrobes. The adjoining three-piece bathroom is naturally lit, enjoying suave tiling around the wet areas. Finally, gas central heating ensures year-round warmth.

    Enclosed by a traditional wall and hedgerow, the private front patio garden offers an alfresco haven, perfect for enjoying the evening sun. The enclosed communal rear garden, with a lawn bordered by flower beds, offers a further space for outdoor relaxation. This quiet cul-de-sac setting enjoys unrestricted parking to the front of the building.
