Unexpectedly back on the market.
As featured in ESPC’s Dream Home feature in August 2026, this beautiful and generously proportioned top-floor apartment forms part of an impressive Victorian terrace, quietly positioned in the highly sought-after West End of Edinburgh.
The apartment has been extensively restored and refurbished over the past five years and is presented in excellent condition throughout, offering an elegant blend of period character and contemporary style. Further works have included the renovation of the communal hallway, enhancing the overall presentation of the building.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming and bright entrance hallway complete with skylight, two well-proportioned double bedrooms, and an inviting living room featuring a large bay window and an attractive fireplace with coal-effect gas fire. There is a stylish modern kitchen-dining space fitted with a range of integrated appliances, with the addition of a freestanding washing machine, along with a well-appointed bathroom complete with both bath and separate shower, and two skylights.
The property also benefits from a large attic space, owned by the flat and accessed from the hallway, offering excellent storage and future potential to extend.
Further benefits include gas central heating, superb open views across Edinburgh's West End, and access to the well-maintained shared gardens on Douglas Crescent.
