Flooded with natural light, this superbly spacious and well presented first floor flat forms part of a traditional Georgian building. Finished to a high standard and superbly situated within sight of the fashionable new St James Quarter, the Omni Centre and a tram stop just outside. Early viewing of this fantastic flat is highly recommended.
Entered by way of an impressive, wide communal entrance with polished concrete walls, the flat is situated on the first floor. The front door opens on to a well-proportioned hall. There is a beautiful open plan living / dining / kitchen with engaging wood floors and two large windows offering views the rear of the property, from which the Firth of Forth can be seen on a clear day. Gorgeous wall and base mounted cabinetry is fitted to the rear of the room and incorporates an electric hob, extractor fan, electric oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, in addition to a comfortable, contemporary lounge area.
The large, bright, double fronted master bedroom enjoys south facing views directly onto Picardy Place with ornate cornice work and fitted carpet. The room is currently used as a second sitting room. There is a stylish en-suite shower room with rainfall shower, WC and wash hand basin. There are two further sizeable double bedrooms, both with plenty of space, in addition to a modern bathroom with bath (and shower over), WC and wash hand basin, finished in matching colours to the en-suite.
