This sophisticated four-bedroom penthouse apartment is both strikingly modern and skilfully designed to make the most of a spacious and ergonomic living space encompassing the outdoors. It has been designed to the highest specification and offers stunning entertaining space, bespoke fittings and appliances, underground parking spaces, as well as 360° views of the Dean Valley from wrap-around terraces.
At the heart of the Dean Village is the pastoral Water of Leith – a haven for wildlife including otter, grey wagtail and heron. Sunbury Street is a secluded road situated beside the Water of Leith, with its peaceful walks and semi-rural atmosphere. Whilst enjoying the advantages of this setting, the apartment is within easy walking distance of the cosmopolitan centre of Edinburgh and close to a wealth of cultural and practical amenities – including two iconic modern art galleries and superb private and state schooling.
With exclusive use of the second floor, 26/4 Sunbury Street has been designed for both entertaining and relaxing, with generous rooms that flow from the light and spacious Italian tiled hallway. The apartment is accessed via either a lift or a communal staircase, which opens into the hallway. The living/dining room is exceptionally bright, with its triple aspect windows, and is served by both a south facing balcony and a large west facing sun terrace with views in three directions and a retractable glass awning for inclement weather. Divided by a contemporary gas fire, these rooms, like most of the apartment, employ state of the art technology, including underfloor heating, Lutron lighting and a SONOS sound system.
The luxuriously understated kitchen/ breakfast room benefits from a wealth of natural light from extensive floor to ceiling windows and doors opening on to a further balcony.
Consistent with the rest of the apartment, the appliances are of superior quality and include; a Gaggenau fridge/freezer with ice dispenser, Meile integrated appliances and an Elica extractor fan. The kitchen has a cosy adjoining sitting area, which completes the living space on this floor. The first floor contains three to four private bedrooms, which are enhanced by the same flow and sense of space as the rest of the apartment. The master bedroom comprises a luxurious suite of rooms including a dressing room and a large en suite shower.
This bedroom has a stunning south and east-facing balcony, which traps the morning sun and in keeping with rest of the apartment is flooded with light from the window and sliding doors. There is space for a fourth bedroom or optional study, and two further principle bedrooms with en suite facilities.
In all, the apartment contains four sleek bathrooms, all with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship including feature lighting, beautiful tiling and an LED TV in the master bath area. A utility room with Siemens washing machine and tumble drier, and four secure underground parking spaces with storage complete the accommodation in this magnificent apartment.
