Prime f lats come with choice
Sarah Devine discovers city apartments ready to be designed to your own luxury standards
MNM Developments’ Marionville at Meadowbank stands apart for quality and style and, by offering a choice of finish with each property, the homeowner can truly make it their own.
The last few remaining apartments at the Marionville Road site in Edinburgh are masterpieces of modern luxury with the hightech fittings and a bespoke finish which is typical of MNM’S projects.
Some of the Marionville properties have impressive views over Arthur’s Seat, Lochend Park and the Firth of Forth.
MNM Developments director Michaela Teague says: “The views can be amazing as there is nothing in front of you or behind you.”
In each apartment the open-plan kitchen and living area has been crafted to capture the best of the property’s surroundings.
The bespoke Schüller kitchen includes brand-name appliances such as a washing machine and dryer, dishwasher and integrated fridge and freezer.
Teague says: “The owner has the choice of their kitchen.
“We have a selection of options for the doors, handles and worktops and the layout is established, but if the client wants to add extras or change the layout slightly, such as by adding a breakfast bar, they can work with our supplier Riddle & Coghill in Leith.
“With them, they can design a layout that suits the individual.
“They have that option to create a bespoke kitchen.”
Silestone worktops come as standard and provide the properties with a “high-end feel”. In keeping with the ultramodern design, the penthouse apartments have been pre-wired for Sonos sound with speakers placed subtly throughout the kitchen and living room ceilings.
Home Technology Integration on Corstorphine Road is available to set up tailored audio for the purchaser.
With choice being at the heart of the properties, a selection of six hardwood floors and carpets are also included in the price.
Teague adds: “If there is not anything that they like, which is very rare, they can then go to Style Flooring for more colour options that are within the budget.”
The spacious bathrooms and master bedrooms’ ensuites include Hansgrohe fittings and chrome towel warmers for added luxury and there are 20 Porcelanosa tile options.
The design of the development is very security-conscious and the apartments are entered through a video entry system.
They come with underground car parking and bike storage, both accessed through an electronic system.
Close to the heart of the city centre, Marionville is ideal for young professionals and downsizers alike and, in one of the city’s most up-and-coming areas, it is perfect for investors.
Teague says: “You’ve got Meadowbank Stadium nearby which is just being refurbished and there’s housing going in there as well with another site next door to that.
“Once they are built up, the prices on that road will actually change, so this is like an early bird option.
“You’re close to the city centre but without the city centre prices and for something that is such highspec with an underground car park, the security on offer and the costeffective features we have installed, you would pay much more in the city centre.”
With the best of location, technology and design, the apartments are innovative spaces that offer luxury without the city centre price tag.
