This two-storey duplex penthouse occupies the top floors of a modern Fountainbridge development, offering bright, open-plan living and a large south‑west facing balcony with cityscape views. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite shower room and there is a second double bedroom, family bathroom and a downstairs WC. The apartment is spacious at about 1,005 sq ft and benefits from underfloor heating and double glazing for comfort.
Practical extras add everyday convenience: a private allocated underground parking space, secure entry with lift access, and an estimated 1,000 Mbps broadband potential. Fixtures, fittings and most window coverings are included in the sale, and the building holds an EPC B. The property is being offered at a fixed price stated as £50,000 below the home report valuation.
Note the ownership costs: a recently appointed factor charges approximately £1,000 per year (Feb 2025) and Council Tax band F is shown as relatively high (circa £3,407.93 for 2025/26, inclusive of water/sewage). The immediate neighbourhood is described as cosmopolitan with many amenities and strong transport links, but local area data indicates a high level of deprivation — worth checking local services and longer-term regeneration plans before committing.
Overall this is a well-equipped city-centre penthouse suited to buyers seeking central living, investment potential or a spacious pied-à-terre, provided they accept the service charge and higher council tax costs.
