Wonderfully positioned only minutes walk from bustling Leith Walk, Pilrig Park, and the brand new tram stop at Balfour Street, this bright two-bedroom maisonette in a peaceful Leith residential street is in move-in condition.

The front door of this new build home opens into a ground floor hallway with a soft calm colour palette. Here you will find a useful storage cupboard and stairs carpeted in a dove grey leading to the accommodation on the first floor.

At the top of the stairs across the first-floor hallway lies the living room. This is a generous and inviting room flooded with light thanks to full-height windows and a west-facing aspect over the Leith skyline. With a neutral décor including wood-effect flooring, it has a relaxed ambience, and the layout allows for a versatile furniture configuration. Adjacent to the living room is a sunny modern kitchen with shaker-style wall and floor units finished in a warm honey tone alongside complementary black marble effect worktops, a colourful splashback, and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, gas hob, extractor hood, and oven. Its size allows for casual dining for two.

To the rear of the property are two peaceful east-facing double bedrooms. The principal is spacious with plentiful natural light from two full-height twin windows. With a tasteful interior it boasts built-in mirrored wardrobes, wood-inspired flooring, and a stylish en-suite shower room complete with a curved enclosure, chrome towel radiator, WC, and washbasin built into vanity set against white metro tiles. Next to the principal double bedroom is the second light and airy double. Currently in use as a good-sized and bright study, it benefits from an appealing interior with wood-inspired flooring, a built-in cupboard, and a statement accent wall.

Finished in an elegant monochrome the family bathroom contains a high-quality white suite including a bath with a wall-mounted shower, WC, and washbasin. The black grid framed shower screen is a sophisticated touch and elevates the luxurious feel of the space.

Externally the property benefits from secure underground residents’ parking. Gas central heating and double glazing are fitted throughout to ensure optimum comfort and efficiency.
