Property Description
12 Merchiston Avenue is a superb detached Victorian family home extending to approximately 3,405 sq ft, set on a prime, tree-lined street in the heart of Merchiston. The property has been fully, extensively and sympathetically renovated and modernised in 2020, combining elegant period proportions with a high-quality contemporary finish throughout.
The ground floor offers a well-balanced layout ideally suited to modern living. A welcoming reception hall leads to a bright baywindowed sitting room to the front, while a separate dining room to the rear provides a more formal entertaining space. The standout feature is the impressive open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, extending to over 30 feet, with a central island and ample space for family dining and entertaining, with direct access to the garden. A family room, additional bedroom/study, utility room, WC, shower room and useful storage complete this level.
Upstairs, the first floor hosts a generous principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom, alongside two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second floor provides two additional double bedrooms, a shower room and eaves storage, offering excellent flexibility for guests, older children or home working.
Merchiston Avenue is a highly regarded, tree-lined street set within the heart of the prestigious Merchiston district, one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential areas. The property enjoys a peaceful and established setting while being within easy walking distance of the vibrant amenities of Morningside Road, widely recognised for its excellent selection of independent retailers, cafés, restaurants, and quality supermarkets.
The area offers an attractive blend of suburban tranquillity and city convenience, with a strong sense of community and an abundance of everyday amenities close at hand. Nearby Bruntsfield and Morningside further enhance the lifestyle offering, providing a variety of specialist shops, leisure facilities, and popular dining spots.
