Property Description

An outstanding top floor apartment forming part of a traditional tenement building, superbly located in the heart of highly sought-after Portobello. This beautifully presented three-bedroom home enjoys breathtaking direct sea views from all windows, looking across Portobello Beach towards both North Berwick and Fife, and across to Arthur’s Seat and Leith. With both spectacular sunrises and sunsets on view, the apartment offers a truly unique coastal living experience.

The property is private, quiet, and in excellent condition throughout, combining generous room proportions with a wealth of elegant original period features, including detailed cornicing, hardwood flooring, high ceilings, and a bright stairway enhanced by a newly refurbished cupola. A welcoming hallway leads to an east-facing, bright and airy sitting room featuring a multi-fuel stove, perfect for cosy evenings while enjoying uninterrupted sea vistas.

The spacious kitchen/dining room is ideal for everyday living and entertaining, complemented by a walk-in pantry and excellent storage options. The principal bedroom is a spacious double, accompanied by two further good-sized double bedrooms. A stylish bathroom and a separate utility room complete the accommodation.

Externally, residents benefit from easy access to the beach, excellent local shops, cafés, and transport links. The property also falls within the catchment area for the highly regarded Towerbank Primary and Portobello High School. This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a prime home in one of Edinburgh’s most vibrant and friendly coastal communities.
