Property Description
An incredibly rare property due to the Main Door entrance, beautiful private front garden, exceptional finishes and the innovative extra apartment (internal).
Prominently positioned at the top of Polwarth Street is this spectacular three bedroom main door apartment, with a private hedged front garden that discreetly conceals this elevated ground floor property from view, and an incredible underfloor cellar store benefitting from full ceiling height and electrical power supply.
The property offers expansive accommodation and has been configured and decorated to an outstanding standard, with notable distinguishing elements including a luxurious bespoke In-Frame dining kitchen with Arabescato marble, meticulously laid herringbone solid wood flooring, high ceilings, period cornicing, and charming stained glass features. The aforementioned cellar store is accessed via floor hatch and staircase from the dining kitchen and is a seldom found and immensely practical asset for any home.
Polwarth Street enjoys a particularly peaceful setting while being just moments from an excellent range of amenities, including immediate access to Hyndland Secondary School and train station, as well as an unrivalled series of shops, parks, sports clubs, and cafes nearby (there is a Sainsbury's Local, as well as two parks, and the Novar Drive Espresso Bar, just around the corner from the property). Hyndland itself is a vibrant and well established community that continues to attract a wide range of discerning buyers, particularly professionals seeking convenient access to the city centre and nearby hospitals, as well as those in search of a more manageable sized home that still offers privacy and convenience.
Altogether, this is an exceptional West End home that combines elegant period grandeur with modern functionality in one of the most sought after residential pockets.
