On August 16th, 2024, Edinburgh's prestigious Dean Village witnessed the unveiling of a stunning penthouse, priced at £3.1 million.
This exclusive four-bedroom property, developed by AMA Homes, is located in a prime area of the city, renowned for its historical significance and picturesque surroundings.
Nestled within the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the penthouse is part of AMA Homes' latest development, Village View, which occupies the top floor of a former Edwardian coach works. The penthouse spans an impressive 3,443 square feet, offering residents breathtaking treetop views over the tranquil Water of Leith and the charming cobbled streets of Dean Village.
The penthouse's expansive main public room is a highlight, featuring interconnected spaces that are bathed in natural light from large skylights and windows facing south, west, and north. The kitchen is designed with sleek, modern units and high-end appliances, complemented by a spacious breakfast bar and a separate utility room. The dining area is elegantly separated from one of the lounge spaces by a dual-aspect feature fireplace, adding warmth and sophistication to the living area.
The principal bedroom suite is a haven of luxury, with multiple fitted wardrobes and ample space for additional furniture. The ensuite bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a walk-in shower and a freestanding bath beneath a distinctive circular window.
This unique penthouse also offers the convenience of direct lift access and includes a private underground parking space, ensuring both luxury and practicality. Located just a 10-minute walk from Edinburgh's vibrant city centre, Dean Village combines the charm of a serene village with easy access to world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
Behnam Afshar, Group Marketing & Sales Director at AMA Homes, expressed his excitement about the penthouse: "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."
The Village View development, of which this penthouse is the centrepiece, comprises 45 contemporary apartments and three townhouses. The first phase, Douglas House, is a carefully restored building dating back to 1898. AMA Homes has preserved many original features, such as the striking windows in each apartment. This historic building now houses 13 two- and three-bedroom apartments, with five offering private terraces.
Designed with a focus on open-plan living, each apartment in Village View is unique, combining modern conveniences with the charm of a historic building. The development also includes secure underground parking and lift access, making it an attractive option for downsizers seeking a tranquil yet luxurious city home.
Afshar adds: "The development's sought-after location, exceptional design, and unique living spaces make it an especially appealing choice for those looking to downsize from a larger family home."
Prices for a two-bedroom apartment start at £800,000, with three-bedroom apartments ranging between £1,200,000 and £1,796,000. The penthouse is available for £3,100,000.
AMA Homes has also partnered with acclaimed Edinburgh artist and hairdresser Jason Miller, showcasing his artwork in the Village View show home.
Village View apartments are being marketed jointly by Rettie and Murray & Currie, with viewings available by appointment only. Sarah Curtis, Director of New Homes at Rettie, highlighted the development's prime location and luxury appeal: "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."
Steven Currie, Director at Murray & Currie, added: "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 center living without compromising on comfort or style."
