Douglas Crescent, Edinburgh, EH12 5BA

16 GF Douglas Crescent is a beautifully presented three-bedroom ground and lower ground apartment in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End, complete with a private south-east-facing garden. Fully refurbished in 2018 by the current owner, the property was upgraded throughout with new electrics, gas, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, and decoration, creating a stylish turnkey home. The grand drawing room sits at the front of the ground floor, showcasing elegant Victorian features including a bay window with working shutters, soaring 4m ceilings with ornate cornicing, and a marble fireplace. Modern touches, such as a solid wood floor and wood burner, add warmth and character. To the rear, the principal bedroom enjoys tranquil garden views and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. A separate WC completes this level. On the lower ground floor, a stunning kitchen spans the width of the property and opens directly to the garden via patio doors. Fitted by Kitchens International, the kitchen features a quartz marble-effect worktop and high-quality Siemens and Liebherr appliances, as well as a Quooker boiling water tap. Adjoining the kitchen is a cosy snug with gas fire, ideal as a dining or family space. A wide hallway provides a further dining area, with flexibility to reconfigure the layout. Two double bedrooms with soft carpet flooring are located at the front of the home, alongside a contemporary shower room with WC and underfloor heating. The property offers excellent storage, including several built-in cupboards and a lined, powered under-pavement cellar. Outside, the private garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with a patio for outdoor dining, mature shrubs and planting, grass lawn and a garden shed at the far end.
