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.
Bruntsfield is renowned for its bustling café culture, artisan shops, and proximity to green spaces such as Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows. 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.
