Property Description

Occupying a prime position on Bernard Street, this exceptional corner aspect, second-floor flat offers beautifully presented accommodation in the heart of the vibrant Shore district. Combining period character with contemporary style, the flat has been thoroughly and comprehensively renovated by the current owners, and is presented to the market in true turnkey condition. The property additionally enjoys immediate access to an outstanding selection of cafés, restaurants, bars and independent shops, as well as excellent transport links into Edinburgh city centre with tram and bus stops within a one minute walk.

The renovation has been extensive, with the owner, a local architect, carefully modernising the property throughout while remaining sympathetic to its original features and proportions. The property’s Georgian features have been carefully restored, including the cornicing, panelling and double-glazed sash and case windows with fully functional shutters. The result is a home that feels both elegant and contemporary, with high-quality finishes, stylish décor and a wonderful sense of space throughout. Buyers can move straight in and enjoy the property from day one without the need for further expenditure.

A welcoming entrance hall provides access to all principal rooms. The outstanding living and dining room is undoubtedly the heart of the home, benefiting from impressive proportions and large bay windows which flood the space with natural light. This superb reception room offers ample space for both relaxing and entertaining and perfectly showcases the character and scale expected of a period Edinburgh property.

The contemporary kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with an excellent range of fitted units, a bespoke quartz island with ample built-in storage and quality integrated appliances, including a boiling water tap. Offering generous workspace and a practical layout, it is ideally suited to modern living and sits conveniently adjacent to the main living area.

The principal bedroom is an exceptionally spacious double room and benefits from a stylish en-suite with large, walk-in shower and underfloor heating. A walk-in wardrobe provides excellent storage and further enhances the luxurious feel of the accommodation. The second bedroom is another generous double room, making the property extremely versatile and ideally suited to professionals, downsizers, young families, those seeking a city base or buyers requiring guest accommodation or home-working space.

A beautifully appointed family bathroom has been finished to a high standard and serves the second bedroom and guests alike. Completing the accommodation is a useful utility room, providing additional storage and practical laundry space.

With its enviable Shore location, immaculate presentation, generous proportions and extensive renovation by the current owners, 21 Bernard Street represents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey home in one of Edinburgh's most desirable and fashionable neighbourhoods.
