Niksen Property

Set within a well kept traditional tenement on Balfour Street, just off Leith Walk, this immaculate top-floor flat has been recently refurbished throughout, creating a bright, beautifully presented home with a fresh and contemporary feel.

At the heart of the property is a generous dining kitchen, with plenty of space for both everyday living and entertaining. The newly fitted kitchen is smart and considered, while the adjoining dining area gives the room a relaxed, sociable feel.

The living room and bedroom both enjoy views across the immediate area, taking in the well-tended allotments and, beyond, the Edinburgh skyline with Arthur’s Seat visible to the east.

A well-proportioned double bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, complemented by a newly refurbished bathroom. Fresh carpets and newly decorated interiors throughout complete the sense of a home that is ready to move straight into, with little left for the new owner to do.

Perfect for a first-time buyer, pied-à-terre or city professional, this is a particularly appealing one-bedroom home that combines the character of a traditional tenement with the comfort and finish of a recent refurbishment.

Life on the edge of Leith Walk places some of Edinburgh’s best independent coffee shops, restaurants, neighbourhood bars and cultural venues within easy reach. Excellent tram and bus connections make travelling across the city straightforward, while the Playhouse, St James Quarter and vibrant Leith are all close by. Yet, despite being so well connected, the flat itself feels removed from the bustle, offering a quiet place to come home to at the end of the day.
