    About the property

    This third/top-floor tenement flat offers a sophisticated city home in the heart of desirable Corstorphine. The two bedroom period property boasts classical proportions and exudes understated elegance throughout, blending sympathetic contemporary upgrades with beautiful retained period features. The stylish abode enjoys a traditional baywindowed living room and a modern dining kitchen, and is accompanied by a leafy shared rear garden and access to unrestricted on-street parking.

    Approached via a secure entrance and a stairwell to the third floor, the front door opens into a hallway which sets the tone for the interiors to follow, with a classic neutral backdrop and richly-toned timber flooring. To the right of the hall, a living room is bathed in natural light, from a wide wood-panelled bay window, providing a perfect alcove for seated dining, against a backdrop of city architecture views. Enhanced by tasteful presentation, and promising a delightful setting for relaxing and entertaining, the reception room enjoys a lofty ceiling, with elaborate plasterwork, traditional parquet flooring and an exquisite period fireplace, flanked by an Edinburgh Press. Next door, a sunny dining kitchen, with a handy utility cupboard, is stylish and contemporary, with good cabinet storage and workspace, a Stoves range cooker, and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer, a dishwasher and a washing machine. Boasting views toward the Pentland Hills, the home’s principal bedroom is elegant and spacious, and accompanied by press and wardrobe storage. Equally well-proportioned, the second double bedroom (also with storage) is currently arranged as additional living space, demonstrating fabulous versatility. A recently-refurbished modern shower room completes the accommodation. Gas central heating and double glazing are found throughout. Externally, the flat enjoys a communal rear garden and access to unrestricted onstreet parking. Extras: Included in the sale are all fitted floor coverings, window coverings and light fittings. The fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine may be available by separate negotiation
