16 (2F2) East Norton Place offers exquisite accommodation characterised by classic period features and sophisticated interior design. It further boasts an enviable location within walking distance of Edinburgh city centre, Leith’s thriving amenities, and the rugged crags of Arthur’s Seat.
Upon entering this stunning family home, via a secure communal entrance and shared stairwell, you are greeted by an immaculate reception hall with ample space for storage furniture or indeed an informal dining area. From here, refinished floorboards flow throughout much of the home and into the living room, brightly illuminated by twin sash windows with working wooden shutters. A grand traditional fireplace with period tiling, inset with a cosy log-burning stove, immediately catches the eye. The room has generous dimensions for a wide selection of comfortable lounge furniture, creating a serene reception area. It is further enhanced by crisp white decor and elegant detailing in light blue, as well as period features, including intricate cornicing, an ornate ceiling rose, and two open Edinburgh Press cupboards flanking the fire. In the dining kitchen, crisp white cabinets and chunky wooden worktops incorporate a double Belfast sink, and range of appliances. Additionally, the south-facing room incorporates floor space for an 8+ family dining table and a relaxing window seat with garden views, set within the frame of the sash and case window.
Located throughout this outstanding home are four beautiful, classically-styled double bedrooms, boasting exacting proportions and distinct styling, in addition to bright and airy outlooks. The two-piece bathroom comes fully-tiled in white, and is equipped with a shower-over-bath, a storage-set washbasin installed below a vanity mirror, and an airing cupboard with additional storage above. There is a separate two-piece WC by the home’s entrance. An efficient gas central heating system ensures year round warmth, with traditional sash and case windows for added period charm.
Outside, the city home has access to a south-facing communal garden that is laid to lawn, with colourful planters, vegetable patches, and flowerbeds. Within the building’s vicinity, there is ample, unrestricted on-street parking.
