FEBRUARY HOME OF THE MONTH





1/3 Albyn Place is a stunning, Eastern-inspired apartment forming part of an elegant, listed Georgian block at the western end of Queen Street.

A zen-like ambience pervades the apartment and begins in the tasteful, tranquil hallway with its polished stone-flagged floor and Oriental objets d’arts.  This leads to an impressive drawing room with east-facing windows over Queen Street Gardens.

 

The large drawing room boasts dramatic proportions yet manages to exude warmth, comfort  and intimacy.  Elegant downlit storage surrounds a cast iron feature fireplace which achieves the perfect harmony between the period and the contemporary.  An elegant feature wall provides warmth and drama and makes a stunning backdrop for more Eastern-inspired objets d'art.  The elegant yet comfortable sofa grouping provides an ideal spot for conversations with friends or sprawling to watch the discreetly placed plasma screen. 

The arresting kitchen/dining area houses a sleek, cutting-edge Miele kitchen.  Despite being highly functional, the room remains elegant, uncluttered and tranquil.  Soft inset lighting and understated décor are the perfect foil for breathtaking views across the water toward the kingdom of Fife.



The fourth bedroom has been transformed into a luxurious mini-gym and the decadent main bedroom sports its own corner Jacuzzi – perfect for soaking those tired muscles!





The glossy tour de force which is the main bathroom has sleek, stylised fittings from  top designer Phillippe Starck and softly muted brushed steel tiling.
