This exceptional, historically significant three‐bedroom apartment occupies the third floor of an iconic B Listed New Town landmark plain classical style building, built between 1906 and 1907 and is one of the first residential buildings in Edinburgh specifically designed with a lift. Its commanding corner position maximises natural light and delivers uninterrupted views across the city skyline, to the north and west. With its impressive scale and architectural presence, the building forms a striking piece of streetscape within one of Edinburgh's most eminent addresses.

The black and white chequered tile floor of the communal entrance hall passes the porter's bothy and leads to either the Edwardian lift or the staircase that spirals it. The front door of the apartment opens into the vestibule that leads into the hall that is panelled to dado rail height and has two built in cupboards. The spacious living room has a spectacular four panel bow bay window alongside a further large west facing window. This impressive room retains its cornicing and carved wood mantlepiece with cast iron insert and fire grate. Equally striking is the west‐facing second bedroom or dining room. Its grand proportions, traditional architectural finishes and natural light create an exceptional setting for entertaining. The 'U' shaped, naturally lit kitchen has an abundance of wall and floor mounted storage with down lit work surfaces, incorporating a multi-functional peninsula table, aqua blue splash backs and upstands and a full complement of integrated appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen, a small utility room, equipped with a sink, houses both the washing machine and the gas fired combi boiler.

The principal bedroom features a walk‐in wardrobe and two further additional built‐in wardrobes, while enjoying the added luxury of its own en‐suite tiled bathroom, complete with a three‐piece suite and a shower over the bath. One wall of the further bedrooms is finished with rich dark wood panelling and matching built‐in shelving flanking a fireplace, with embossed metal insert, creating a striking focal point that genuinely reflects the room's Edwardian character. Depending on the requirement for bedrooms, it could return to its original use as a study. The final bedroom will comfortably fit all the necessary free-standing furniture. A naturally lit shower room completes the accommodation. The apartment has a modern gas fired central heating system and traditional sash and case windows.

There is a separate private storeroom at basement level and a single car parking space.

The block is managed by James Gibb and regular communal charges approximately £1300 per year. Those looking to offer should confirm the most up to date costs via their solicitor.
