The well-presented home represents a fabulous proposition for first-time buyers, professionals and rental investors alike.
Approached via a bright shared stairwell with a secure entry phone system, the front door opens into an airy, high-ceilinged hall with built-in storage. On your right, an open-plan reception area and kitchen represent a wonderful space for everyday living, dining and entertaining. A feature fireplace, flanked by an Edinburgh press with hidden storage, creates a lovely focal point for arranging comfortable lounge furniture and a deep window recess lends itself perfectly to a seated dining area. Neatly tucked into an alcove, the kitchen is appointed with a range of timber cabinets, open shelving and ample workspace, further equipped with appliances. A walk-in pantry houses a washing machine and provides excellent additional storage. Across the hall, and bathed in morning sunshine, a generous double bedroom is brimming with period charm. Varnished pine floorboards are accompanied by tasteful decor and an original cast-iron fireplace is set against a striking feature wall presented in a sympathetic William Morris design. Plentiful space is available for freestanding items of bedroom furniture. Completing the accommodation, a bright shower room features a vaulted, wood-panelled ceiling, black and white vintage style floor tiles and houses a WC, a pedestal basin and a glazed shower enclosure.
Double glazing is found throughout the flat and an efficient combi-boiler was installed three years ago. Externally, residents enjoy access to a shared garden and drying green in addition to unrestricted on-street parking.
Situated just two miles from the city centre, this popular area is focused around the bustling Easter Road, with its eclectic array of independent shops, pubs, cafés, and eateries. Further amenities, incorporating high-street retail outlets and supermarkets, can also be found in nearby Meadowbank Shopping Park. For local outdoor recreation, the area enjoys scenic open spaces such as Lochend Park, Leith Links and Holyrood Park, home to Edinburgh’s iconic Arthur’s Seat. Due to the area’s easterly location, Portobello’s much-loved sandy seafront is also just a short bus ride away. Sports enthusiasts are well-catered for at Leith Victoria, Jack Kane Sports Centre, Portobello Swim Centre, and The Royal Commonwealth Pool, whilst Meadowbank Sports Centre is under refurbishment. With Easter Road adjoining the A1 thoroughfare, the area benefits from excellent transport links across the city and further afield, including 24-hour bus services.
