**SOLD STC**
Contemporary, high-quality interiors coupled with a prime city location would make this an excellent purchase for city professionals and rental investors. The property, accessed off Easter Road via a secure communal vestibule, opens into an entrance hall where crisp-white décor, complemented by the warmth of solid wood flooring, creates an airy ambiance and sets the stylish theme for the accommodation to follow. Continuing into the living and dining room, a generously-proportioned space is found, filled with an abundance of natural light from large, east-facing twin windows and where minimalist styling enhances the sense of light and space. A notable detail is the recessed open shelving under the windows. A range of relaxing lounge furniture would be comfortably configurated in this generous space, leaving ample room to accommodate a complementary seated dining area.
The adjoining kitchen, enjoying a desirable open-plan layout to the reception area, comes beautifully-appointed with a mix of contemporary timber and glazed cabinets complemented by white granite-styled worktops and contrasting black splashback panels. Incorporated into the design are an integrated oven, a ceramic hob and a statement extractor hood, as well as a freestanding fridge/freezer. The seamless flow of this stylish living space provides the perfect design for the modern lifestyle. Also located on this floor and enjoying a west-facing aspect to the rear of the property is one of the elegantly-proportioned double bedrooms. The quirky design creates charm and character and a built-in open wardrobe adds practicality.
From the hall, a staircase with a contemporary wood/metal balustrade curves down to the lower-ground floor, where a further hall with external access affords access to the second double bedroom, continuing the stylish, spacious interiors. A box room adjoined to the bedroom provides versatile additional space. Completing the accommodation is a luxurious bathroom housing a shower-over-bath with a glazed screen, a fashionable countertop bowl sink, and a toilet, all set against a backdrop of fashionable grey mosaic-style wall tiling. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round warmth and comfort.
Externally, the property benefits from access to an enclosed west-facing communal garden. Ample unrestricted on-street parking can be found in the vicinity.
