A magnificent penthouse in one of Edinburgh’s most exclusive residential areas has been released for sale with a price tag of £3.1 million.
Located in the city’s highly desirable Dean Village, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this four-bedroom property by AMA Homes has breath-taking treetop views over the picturesque Water of Leith and the village’s charming, cobbled streets and captivating stone buildings.
The jewel in the crown at AMA’s latest collection of new homes at Village View – the penthouse stretches out across the top floor of a former Edwardian coach works.
Set over 3,443 sq ft, the spectacular penthouse apartment offers an expansive main public room – a series of interconnected spaces, flooded with light from substantial skylights and windows to the south, west and north.
The vast kitchen has a range of stylish units and high specification built-in appliances, as well as a sizeable breakfast bar and separate utility room, while the dining room is separated from one of the lounge areas by a dual aspect, feature fireplace.
The principal bedroom suite is exceptional, with multiple fitted wardrobes, and lots of space for additional furniture, while the large ensuite includes a walk-in shower and freestanding bath beneath a feature circular window.
This unique penthouse also has lift access directly into the apartment and comes with a private underground parking space.
Just 10 minutes’ walk from the city centre, Dean Village, near the city’s upmarket West End, has all the charm of a friendly village, but with world-class shopping, dining and entertainment on its doorstep.
The Water of Leith Walkway meanders through the village, offering quiet paths, beautiful architecture and wildlife – creating a tranquil haven in the city.
Behnam Afshar, AMA Homes group marketing and sales director, said: “This magnificent penthouse will really take your breath away. The light floods into the public room from every angle, and the views over Dean Village are incredible.
“Village View has taken 17 years of careful planning to create and the new and converted development now provides a rare opportunity to live in one of the most sought-after areas in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.”
This incredible penthouse is the centrepiece in the Village View development which provides a selection of 45 contemporary apartments and three townhouses, with the penthouse stretching across the top floor.
The first phase, Douglas House, is a careful conversion of a building that dates back to 1898. AMA Homes has retained many of the original features including striking windows in every apartment.
This historic building now offers 13 two- and three-bedroom apartments, five of which enjoy private terraces.
Sensitively designed with a focus on open plan living, each unique apartment features a spacious public room, incorporating the kitchen and areas for relaxing, and dining.
Offering the opportunity to live in an historic building, but fitted with every modern convenience, as well as secure underground parking and lift access, these apartments are expected to appeal to downsizers looking for a tranquil, luxurious city home.
Behnam adds: “Whilst the development has attracted a variety of buyers who have purchased off plan, it’s sought after location, exceptional design and unique living spaces make for an especially appealing choice for those looking to relieve themselves from the burden of a larger family home.”
Prices for a two-bedroom apartment start at £800,000 with three-bedroom apartments from between £1,2000,000 and £1,796,000. The penthouse is priced at £3,100,000.
AMA Homes has partnered with acclaimed Edinburgh artist and hairdresser, Jason Miller, and are displaying his artwork in the Village View show home.
Village View apartments are being jointly sold by Rettie and Murray and Currie and are available to view by appointment only.
Sarah Curtis, director of new homes at Rettie, added: “The development not only offers luxury living, but also sits in a prime location on the edge of Edinburgh’s thriving West End, with views overlooking the picturesque Dean Village, making it the perfect location for those wanting a taste of everything Edinburgh has to offer.
“Combining contemporary new-build blocks with the conversion of an Edwardian former coach works, the development is finished to a high standard throughout, with the penthouse being the real highlight.”
Steven Currie, director at Murray and Currie, commented: “As the market has continued to improve, we have witnessed a growing demand for high-quality, luxurious living spaces. This trend is especially notable among downsizers who want to enjoy the benefits of city centre living without compromising on comfort or style.
“The housing market in Edinburgh remains robust, characterised by a strong interest in premium properties, and AMA’s Village View development perfectly encapsulates the mix of luxury and convenience that buyers are looking for in the heart of the city.”
