Welcome to 4/12 Old Tolbooth Wynd, an exceptional penthouse apartment set within Edinburgh’s historic Old Town — a truly rare opportunity to enjoy contemporary living amid the city’s most iconic surroundings.
The home unfolds over two impressive levels, designed to maximise light, space and the breathtaking views. The true standout feature is the spectacular outlook across the city, taking in Calton Hill and Arthur’s Seat in all their glory. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the sitting room frame these magnificent views, creating a living space that feels both uplifting and serene.
Off the sitting room lies a sleek, modern kitchen, thoughtfully designed with ample storage and workspace. From the sitting room, a staircase leads to the mezzanine level, perfect for an office space, where the private balcony offers an elevated vantage point to fully appreciate the stunning views of Edinburgh’s skyline and surrounding landmarks.
The accommodation comprises two generous double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, ensuring both comfort and privacy. In addition, the property boasts vast storage space — an exceptional bonus in this part of the city — offering enormous potential for conversion into additional living accommodation such as bedroom with ensuite, home office, gym, or studio subject to Planning Permission.
With two allocated parking spaces in a secure car park, breathtaking views, a stylish modern interior and remarkable scope for expansion, this penthouse represents a rare chance to create your own bespoke sanctuary in one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after addresses.
