Couthy, homey, cosy & intimate 2-bedrmd, 1st flr flat, oppo the tranquil Water of Leith.

Description

"I’ve really loved living here – it’s a beautiful space and I’ve felt very lucky to call it home."
When this property last came up for sale, there were over 30 notes of interests and more than half of these turned into offers, such is the appeal of the flat, literally across the road from the tranquility of the Water of Leith.
Press the intercom buzzer for 60/3 and you’ll enter a traditional common entrance and stone staircase up to the first floor, where the flat is located on the left.
Once inside, you’ll head along the hallway into the Front Room (15m2). It is tastefully decorated and furnished, a lovely room to relax in after a day’s work - sit down with a glass in hand or place it on the coffee table or one of the sideboards. You will be relaxing in a place of warmth and intimacy, an ambience, which extends throughout the flat. A table & chairs beside the window is the ideal place at which to eat as the window faces south over the road to the wooded Coalie Park and, just beyond, the tranquil Water of Leith.
The double glass doorway leads into kitchen - and if you don’t fancy cooking dinner, there are many restaurants within several minutes’ walk, offering cuisine of a wide variety (and prices to suit all occasions and all budgets). The kitchen is easy to cook in with everything to hand. Comprising attractive darker grey wall and floor storage units, the white tiles in between provide a pleasing contrast.
You’ll enjoy cooking (there is an excellent sufficiency of utensils to help prepare delicious meals!) on the electric hob or baking in the fan-assisted oven. There is a tall, combined fridge freezer and washing machine. The window, which also overlooks the Water of Leith, is situated between the double glass door and the GCH boiler.
Between the front room and the flat’s front door is the bathroom. It houses a shower and shower curtain above the bath and toilet on the rhs. A mirror is placed above the sink. Leaving the bathroom, cross the hallway and before you reach the two bedrooms, there is a cupboard (floor to ceiling) on the left. It has some shelving and ample storage space.
A few steps from the cupboard leads you to Bedroom 1 (10+ m2). It comprises a double bed, bedside cabinet and a good sized fitted wardrobe. A wooden slatted blind covers the window, which, like Bedroom 2, overlooks the block’s small, partially wooded back garden.
Adjacent to the cupboard the second bedroom (just shy of 10m2) is L-shaped. A wardrobe with two lower drawers is on your left-hand side, with the double bed and bedside cabinet further round. A modern Wellington chest of drawers is placed beside the window, which has a roller blind.
The flat is brilliantly placed with the waterfront and various parklands nearby. You can enjoy a stroll along the peaceful Water of Leith walkway. If you want to jog along to the promenade at Portobello Beach, you’ve got less than 3 miles to run.
To give a flavour of other amenities close by. First, eateries – daytime cafés, bistros, restaurants (including Michelin starred), all within a few minutes' walk away. For a drink out, just pop along to the Roseleaf Bar.
Secondly, retail shopping – apart from the usual places (lots of units in Ocean Terminal), there is an established outdoors & sports wear shop a 3 minute walk away. If you need to be fitted out for formal day and evening kiltwear, an old established kiltmaker, the same distance.
Other attractions include the cinema in Ocean Terminal, the Royal Yacht Britannia and slightly further afield football and rugby grounds offering up highly competitive games.
The flat is an ideal property for two professionals or couple, all non-smokers. In addition to excellent transport links into the city (and nearby arterial routes leaving the city) there is free on street parking nearby. The tram stop is not too far away - taking you up into the centre of town or out to the airport and your flights off to some exotic location.
