Property Description

Set in Edinburgh’s sought-after West End, Flat 1, 1 Melville Crescent is an exceptional ground floor apartment presented in immaculate condition throughout. Forming part of one of the capital’s most admired residential conversions, the property combines elegant contemporary living with the grandeur and character synonymous with this iconic address. The original fit-out by the highly regarded developers Square & Crescent has been meticulously maintained, resulting in a beautifully appointed home finished to an exacting standard.

The property is centred around a magnificent open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, extending to over 26 feet in length. This impressive room offers a wonderful sense of scale and light, creating an ideal environment for both everyday living and entertaining. The stylish bespoke German kitchen is seamlessly integrated into the space and is complemented by high-quality solid worktops, while the apartment’s distinctive curved walls, intricate original cornicing and striking marble fireplace provide a beautiful architectural backdrop, enhancing the room’s elegant proportions and period character.

The principal bedroom is a generously proportioned double room benefiting from a luxurious en-suite shower room and excellent storage. A particularly useful mezzanine level within the bedroom provides superb high-level storage, maximising practicality without compromising floor space. The beautifully appointed bathrooms feature premium Duravit sanitaryware, elegant porcelain tiling and underfloor heating, creating a luxurious and contemporary finish. A practical utility room/WC is conveniently positioned off the hallway, further enhancing the functionality of the accommodation.

A particular highlight of the property is the separate study/home office.

Occupying a highly desirable ground floor position, the apartment offers easy accessibility while retaining the privacy and exclusivity expected of such a prestigious development.
