Part of an attractive leafy development, 90 (Flat 3) Whitehouse Loan is a modern and spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment overlooking Bruntsfield Links. Ideally located to take full advantage of Morningside and Bruntsfield's green spaces, schools, wealth of amenities, and transport links, the property further offers bright and generous accommodation, a private balcony, an allocated residents' parking space with its own EV charging point, and a well-maintained communal garden. We anticipate this beautiful home to be of particular interest to professional couples, downsizers, and young families.

Accommodation

The property is accessed though a secure entry system leading to a communal area with both stairs and a lift.

The accommodation then comprises a reception hall with two convenient adjoining cupboards. Well-proportioned and inviting, the sitting room overlooks the Bruntsfield Links through its beautiful bay window and is further elevated by a feature stone-encased fireplace with a wooden mantle. The public room then leads to a bright dining room with delightful plasterwork along the archway, which could be converted into a third bedroom.

Also enjoying views of Bruntsfield Links, the fully-equipped kitchen/breakfast room showcases wood-style flooring, bold frieze tiling, and quality wall- and floor-mounted units with integrated appliances. With its excellent storage and counter space as well as room for dining, the kitchen/breakfast room forms a warm and intimate hub for the home that is as perfect for family life as it is for slow mornings.

The South-facing principal bedroom benefits from an abundance of light throughout the day and offers two built-in wardrobes. French doors also open onto a lovely balcony with space for a table and chairs, which overlooks the attractive communal gardens. The bedroom is further complemented by an ensuite bathroom with an integrated bathtub, wash hand basin, and wc.

The generous double bedroom 2 also enjoys a sought-after South-facing aspect, bathing the room in light. It further features a practical built-in wardrobe.

Finally, the apartment is completed by a contemporary three-piece shower room with shower, wash hand basin, and wc as well as wood-style flooring.

Garden

Fully enclosed, the lovely West-facing communal rear garden is well-maintained and mainly laid to lawn. Established shrubbery and trees attractively frame the peaceful outdoor space, adding texture, character, and a stronger sense of privacy. An area of gravel also follows the edge of the building and, to the side, a paved patio elevated by potted plants features a seating area.

Parking

The property further benefits from an assigned place with its own EV charging point in the gated residents' parking. There is also permit parking on Whitehouse Loan.
