CLOSING DATE FIXED - FRIDAY 7TH JULY AT 1PM

Offering spacious and flexible accommodation over two floors, this main-door duplex apartment is arranged over the ground and first floors of an established modern development in Granton and accommodates four bedrooms, a large reception room, a dining kitchen, a separate utility room, and two bathrooms (plus a WC), as well as a private, south-facing balcony, a private garden, access to a shared garden, and private residents’ parking.

Situated on tree-lined Waterfront Avenue, part of Granton’s regenerated waterfront, this main-door duplex apartment was extensively refurbished several years ago by the current owner and has been exceptionally well-maintained since, offering a wonderful city home in a true move-in condition. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home has a sociable semi open-plan layout on the ground floor and flexible bedrooms on the first floor that can be used in a number of ways, culminating in a desirable city abode in an enviable location.

Entrance – Welcome to 43 Waterfront Avenue

The home’s private front door opens into an airy, welcoming hall with a WC and a large, shelved storage cupboard, with additional shelved storage under the stairs. The hall immediately sets the tone for the accommodation to follow, with crisp-white décor and Porcelanosa floor tiles, both of which flow throughout the ground-floor accommodation.

Living/dining room – Perfect for entertaining and dinner parties

The hall flows freely into a large reception room at the end, representing a generous space for everyday life and entertaining alike. The current owners have hosted an event for 60 people in this room previously, offering endless opportunities for the space and sure to appeal to those who love to host and entertain. The room continues the immaculate presentation of the hall and features French doors opening onto the rear garden, ideal for alfresco dining and summer barbecuing.

Dining kitchen – Well-appointed cooking space with dining area

The dining kitchen is also spacious and airy, and offers ample room for a casual seated dining area, catering for morning coffee, relaxed weeknight meals, and socialising while cooking. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of Leicht gloss-white wall and base cabinets designed and installed by Kitchens International, coordinating Corian worktops, and integrated appliances comprising an oven, microwave, warming drawer, gas hob, extractor hood, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and a Quooker boiling water tap. It is supplemented by a large separate utility room with additional cabinetry, space for freestanding appliances, handy storage, and a clothes pulley.

Bedrooms – Tranquil and versatile sleeping areas

The sleeping accommodation can be found on the first floor, approached via a staircase and airy landing with a deep linen cupboard. The bedrooms consist of four good-sized doubles. The principal bedroom is accompanied by a built-in wardrobe, boasts a private, south-facing balcony, and has direct access to the family bathroom, whilst the second largest double also has an en-suite shower room. The third and fourth bedrooms are being used as a studio and a sitting area respectively, highlighting the home’s versatility.

Bathrooms – Stylish and functional washrooms

The en-suite shower room and the family bathroom are both beautifully presented with high-quality Duravit sanitaryware and Porcelanosa tiling. The en-suite comprises a large enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a basin with handy vanity storage, a hidden-cistern WC, and a chrome towel radiator. The bathroom comes complete with a Duravit AirSpa bathtub, a separate oversized enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a WC-suite with vanity storage, and a tall chrome towel radiator.

Gas central heating (powered by a new boiler with a 10-year guarantee) and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.

AREA
Once a major industrial hub driven by a busy port, Granton, like much of Edinburgh’s shoreline, has seen significant redevelopment in recent years. The area is fast becoming one of the most sought-after postcodes in the capital owing to luxurious residential developments and stunning views of the Firth of Forth, and the property lies just over three miles from the city centre, reachable in under 15 minutes by bus or car. Although much of old Granton has now disappeared, its quaint harbour and listed industrial landmarks are charming reminders of its rich and vibrant heritage. Granton is served by a superb range of local services and amenities including a large Morrisons supermarket and petrol station (under a 10-minute walk or two-minute drive), a 24-hour ASDA in neighbouring Newhaven and Ocean Terminal shopping centre (10-minute drive), which is home to an array of high-street stores, a multi-screen cinema and a selection of family restaurants. The area boasts several cultural and entertainment venues, with some fantastic venues already established and some due to open soon, including Pitt Street market (which is moving venue in August), Wasps Artists’ Studios, and Granton Gasometer, making the area a fabulous cultural hub. With a wide variety of leisure activities right on its doorstep, Granton has something for everyone: from tranquil strolls along the waterfront promenade towards Wardie Beach and picturesque Cramond to exhilarating sailing and water sports at the marina. The property boasts a wealth of greenspace enviably close by, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy spending time in nature and perfect for dog owners. The property is within the catchment area for Granton Primary School, Broughton High School, St David’s RC primary School, and St Augustine’s RC High School, and is well placed for some of the finest independent schools in the country. Thanks to its northerly location, the property enjoys swift and easy access to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh Airport (28-minte drive) and Queensferry Crossing (37-minute drive). Comprehensive public transport services (including the tram line which will eventually pass very close to the property and bus stops just outside the development) and a vast cycle path network also provide fantastic links into the city centre and beyond.
