Property Description
Occupying a commanding top-floor position in one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after addresses, this magnificent three-bedroom apartment offers a rare and compelling combination of elegant period architecture and refined contemporary living.
Enjoying a highly desirable tri-aspect layout, with open and uninterrupted views east and west across the New Town, the property is flooded with natural light and offers an exceptional sense of space, privacy, and outlook throughout.
The current owners have undertaken an extensive and meticulously executed restoration programme, completed with exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship. All works were carried out with the benefit of full statutory consents, resulting in a home of outstanding quality, now presented in immaculate turnkey condition.
Extending to approximately 1,500 square feet, the accommodation is beautifully proportioned and thoughtfully arranged. The impressive open-plan kitchen and living space forms the heart of the home, featuring a working gas fire set within the original marble surround, intricate cornicing, high ceilings, and large sash windows that frame the St Vincent Street outlook. Extensive bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a substantial central island combine seamlessly to deliver both contemporary functionality and period elegance.
The principal bedroom suite provides a luxurious and tranquil retreat, complete with working shutters, a gas fire, a bespoke walnut dressing room, and an elegant en-suite bathroom finished with underfloor heating, high-quality vanity units and fittings. There are two further generously sized double bedrooms, each beautifully presented and offering excellent flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, or home working. The family bathroom has been individually designed to the same exacting standard, with underfloor heating and premium sanitaryware throughout.
A welcoming central flagstone hallway provides a striking focal point, further enhanced by a large hall storage cupboard- an invaluable feature for a city-centre home. The property also benefits from a large private dry-lined cellar, along with access to a communal garden.

Location
Edinburgh’s New Town is one of the city’s most desirable and prestigious neighbourhoods, celebrated for its elegant architecture, leafy streets and exceptional central convenience. The area is characterised by handsome Victorian and Georgian terraces, tranquil mews lanes and a refined residential atmosphere, all just moments from the heart of the capital.
The New Town offers an outstanding lifestyle, with a wide selection of independent cafés, acclaimed restaurants, stylish bars and cultural venues close at hand. Princes Street, George Street and the financial district are within easy walking distance, while nearby green spaces such as Princes Street Gardens and the Water of Leith Walkway provide welcome outdoor escapes.
Transport links are excellent. Waverley Station is a short walk away, offering regular rail services across Scotland and direct links to Edinburgh Airport via the tram. The tram network, bus routes and road connections ensure effortless access throughout the city and beyond.
Despite its central position, the New Town is prized for its peaceful feel, with many quiet streets and secluded pockets that offer privacy rarely found in city-centre living. Combining elegance, convenience and tranquillity, Edinburgh’s New Town remains a consistently sought-after location for professionals, downsizers and families alike.
