Property Description

Nestled in the very heart of Bruntsfield, one of Edinburgh’s most vibrant and sought-after neighbourhoods, this beautifully presented two-bedroom first-floor flat offers an exceptional opportunity to secure a home in a prime city location.

Set within a traditional tenement building on Gillespie Place, this charming property is in excellent condition throughout, combining classic proportions with stylish modern finishes. The flat boasts a well-balanced layout, perfect for both comfortable living and entertaining.

At the heart of the home is a generously sized living room, filled with natural light thanks to its large sash windows. The adjacent kitchen/dining area is equally spacious and well-equipped, featuring ample storage, generous worktop space, and a contemporary finish – ideal for cooking and hosting. The separate utility, complete with second oven, hob and sink, is a fantastic and very practical addition.

There are two double bedrooms, both well-proportioned, with Bedroom 1 positioned to the rear and Bedroom 2 facing the front. A stylish shower room, separate WC enhance functionality, while built-in cupboards provide valuable storage. Of special note: due to its orientation, the building does not directly face another residential building. As such, the windows front and back are not overlooked.

With excellent public transport links and top-rated schools nearby, this flat is perfect for professionals, couples, or investors seeking a well-located home in one of Edinburgh’s most desirable areas.
