A unique three-bedroom property in the Viewforth area has joined the market, described as an ‘exceptional and contemporary duplex apartment’.
Many across Edinburgh will be familiar with the building, with memories of their teenage years housed in the former Boroughmuir High School. These days, when people fall asleep in the walls of the structure it’s in their beds - not during geography.
After the school moved to a new building in 2018, the building was transformed into 87 apartments with the development completed in 2021. Flat 81, at 26 Viewforth, is fitted with modern decor and offers views across the area.
