Description

2 South Learmonth Gardens offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented three-bedroom duplex apartment, with panoramic views across North Edinburgh. Immaculately presented throughout, this elegant home will appeal to a wide range of buyers due to its prime, peaceful location.

Occupying the first and second floors of a handsome period building, the property is accessed via a well-kept shared entrance hall, shared with just one other home. The first floor comprises the main living and entertaining spaces, including a grand drawing room, a sleek kitchen, and a spacious dining room. The upper floor hosts three well-proportioned double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and ample storage. Additionally, all original sach and case windows have been recently replaced with timber frame double glazing.

The apartment further benefits from a substantial loft, currently used for storage. Subject to the necessary planning consents, there is exciting potential to extend into this space and create further accommodation. The drawing room is a truly elegant space, featuring generous proportions and charming period details. Original wooden flooring, ornate cornicing, working shutters, and a large bay window flood the room with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere aided by a cosy gas fire. Built-in shelving currently forms a striking library wall, enhancing both function and aesthetic.

The contemporary kitchen has been finished to a high specification, with underfloor heating, granite worktops, a central island with breakfast bar, and a range of integrated appliances. A large south-facing window ensures the space enjoys plenty of natural light, making it a bright and sociable hub of the home.

The adjacent dining room is equally generous in size, offering an ideal setting for both relaxed family meals and more formal entertaining.

A wide, elegant staircase with original iron railings leads to the upper floor, where a stunning cupola floods the landing with light. All three double bedrooms are beautifully proportioned. The principal bedroom enjoys a sunny south-facing aspect and a modern ensuite shower room with underfloor heating. The second and third bedrooms benefit from uninterrupted northerly views, among the finest in Edinburgh. Additionally, the second bedroom features a spacious walk-in dressing room.

Also on the second floor is a wonderfully spacious family bathroom. Gorgeous design and tiling with roll top bath, complemented by underfloor heating, make this a comfortable highlight of the home.

A shared basement cellar with metal waterproof bike shed is an additional bonus.

Externally, residents' permit parking is available on application, and owners also enjoy access to the beautifully maintained and secluded Learmonth Gardens.
