The nearby Shore is bursting with excellent restaurants, including Michelin Starred The Kitchin by Tom Kitchen, many seafood specialists, and plenty of cosy Scottish pubs. You can even dine on board 'The Fingal', an incredible floating hotel.

Ocean Terminal, Leith's stylish shopping centre designed by Sir Terence Conran undergoing an extensive renovation that should offer even further amenities, is nearby with a variety of stores, restaurants, a multi-screen cinema complex and the Royal Yacht Britannia moored alongside. The recent addition of the Port of Leith Distillery provides a stunning hospitality addition in the form of the world's first vertical distillery.

The immediately accessible Leith Links provide superb local open green spaces and the nearby 18-hole, par-67 Craigentinny Golf Course caters to every skill level.

There are excellent road and public transport links both into town and out to the city bypass and East Lothian. The tram network passes close by with the nearby The Shore tram stop providing direct transport to the city centre and Edinburgh Airport.

Just 1.1 Miles from the sea at Portobello, an easy walk allows those living in this location enjoy seaside living and escape the city without compromising on immediately accessible amenities.

Description

Flat 25, 19 Pillans Place is positioned on the fifth floor of a contemporary Edinburgh development. Beautifully presented throughout, this two-bedroom apartment offers a rare combination of stylish modern living, high-quality finishes, and impressive panoramic views across the city skyline - best enjoyed from your own private balcony.

With an allocated parking space, a spacious internal layout, and excellent access to Leith's vibrant amenities, this home is ideally suited to professionals, first-time buyers, or anyone seeking a refined city lifestyle.

Stepping into the apartment, you are welcomed by a bright and spacious foyer, thoughtfully designed to create an immediate sense of calm and quality. From here, all rooms are easily accessed, giving the property a natural flow that feels inviting, practical, and well considered.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully balanced open-plan living space, designed for modern living, entertaining, and relaxation. With a generous footprint that seamlessly combines the living, dining, and kitchen areas, this room is flooded with natural light thanks to its elevated fifth-floor position and the elongated windows. The space also offers direct access to a brilliant private balcony. Each window and the balcony itself provide a new perspective across the expansive panorama of the Edinburgh skyline and the Pentland Hills.

Accessed directly from the living area, the private balcony is a standout feature of the apartment. Generously proportioned, it easily accommodates outdoor seating, creating a superb extension of the living space. From here, the views across the Edinburgh skyline form a captivating backdrop - whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, unwinding after work, or hosting guests on a summer evening. Apartments offering this combination of elevation, outlook, and uninterrupted views are rarely available in the city.

The stylish kitchen is incredibly bright from the large windows and is fitted with modern cabinetry, sleek worktops, and integrated appliances, providing a fresh and highly functional space that requires no upgrades. Thoughtfully planned storage and workspace make it equally suited to everyday cooking or more ambitious entertaining, while the neutral, high-quality finish ensures the design will remain timeless for years to come.

The principal bedroom offers an impressively spacious retreat, with proportions that exceed expectations for modern apartment living. With ample room for a king-size bed, bedside furnishings, and a full suite of wardrobes, it functions as both a luxurious sleeping space and a serene personal sanctuary. It is complemented by a beautifully presented en-suite shower room fitted with high-quality fixtures.

The second bedroom is equally appealing - a well-sized double that can effortlessly serve as a stylish guest bedroom, a home office, a creative studio, or a flexible multi-purpose space. Its long, adaptable layout lends itself well to a variety of furniture arrangements, making it a valuable addition to the home.

The main bathroom is finished with contemporary sanitaryware and clean, modern tiling, creating a relaxing and refined environment for daily routines.

Completing the property is a highly practical walk-in storage cupboard located in the hallway, providing generous additional space for household essentials.

Externally, residents have access to a large, open green space, managed by the factors. Off street parking is also available.
