About this listing
A striking, light-filled two-bedroom top-floor apartment in an exceptional city-centre location on Chambers Street, directly opposite the National Museum of Scotland.
Set on the top floor of a distinctive building with lift access, the apartment has a wonderful penthouse-style feel, with high vaulted ceilings, exposed roof beams, Velux roof windows and extensive glazing. The elevated position provides fantastic views across Chambers Street and the National Museum of Scotland, while flooding the main living space with natural light.
The heart of the apartment is the impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Bright, airy and unusually spacious, it offers a comfortable lounge area with a large corner sofa with chaise, which can also be used as a sofa bed for occasional guests, TV and coffee tables, together with a dining area positioned beside the windows.
The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped for longer stays and includes an induction hob, gas oven and full-height fridge, as well as good storage and worktop space.
There are two bedrooms. The main bedroom is comfortably furnished with a double bed and storage, while the second bedroom provides additional sleeping accommodation together with a dedicated desk/workspace, making the apartment particularly suitable for professionals, academics or anyone working or studying from home.
The bathroom has a bath with shower over, WC and wash basin.
The apartment has recently had new carpets fitted and is offered furnished, with everything needed for a comfortable medium- or longer-term stay.
The location is difficult to beat. The National Museum of Scotland is directly opposite, with the University of Edinburgh, Old College and George Square only moments away. The Royal Mile, Grassmarket, Princes Street and Waverley Station are all within easy walking distance, while the surrounding Old Town offers an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, shops and cultural attractions.
Despite its extremely central position, the apartment's top-floor setting creates a bright and elevated living environment above the heart of the city.
