Welcome to 16/4 Donaldson Crescent, an architect-designed development centred around one of the most important landmark buildings in Edinburgh, the former hospital and Donaldson’s School built by William Playfair in the 1840s.
The apartment is carefully curated to an exceptional specification, with beautiful interior design and high-end fixtures and fittings. It offers refinement and sociable open-plan living, as well as a state-of-the-art kitchen, and three premium washrooms.
This luxurious city home further benefits from secure private parking, a private terrace, and shared use of the estate’s garden grounds, covering 16 acres.
In addition, it has a highly sought-after location in the Wester Coates conservation area, just a stroll from Edinburgh’s West End and the heart of the city centre.
The apartment is reached via a secure app-controlled video-phone entry system and a lift service.
For maximum comfort, the apartment has double-glazed windows and remote-controlled underfloor heating throughout, which can be zoned per room. The heating is via a communal heating system too, which means homeowners do not need to worry about boiler maintenance, as this is covered by factoring fees.
