With only 2 properties remaining in the first phase, interested parties should get themselves down to Cruden Homes' Genesis development before it's too late.

The first phase of the Genesis apartments, comprising 118 new homes in Edinburgh's up-and-coming Forthquarter area of Granton, has been a phenomenal success. On completion, the whole development will boast 250 apartments.

With high standards of specification, including integrated kitchens, Porcelanosa tiling in the kitchen and bathroom areas and double glazing throughout, it's little wonder that these properties have been snapped up.

Most of the apartments feature balconies or stunning bay windows, affording fabulous views over the Firth of Forth and the city, whilst almost all of the ground floor properties have private terraces, the perfect spot for alfresco dining during the summer months. There's ample parking for all residents and every home benefits from a secure entry system as well as ensuite facilities in all of the two and three-bedroom apartments.

The two and three bedroom duplex penthouses remaining are fully floored with stunning views across Edinburgh. With prices from £180,000, viewing is highly recommended to see the fantastic style and space you can afford for your budget so close to Edinburgh's vibrant city centre and trendy Leith shore area.

Genesis is the ideal base for any first-time buyer, young professional or self confessed urbanite keen to have a chic pad that is close to the buzz of the city centre. Edinburgh plays host to a huge range of bars, restaurants, clubs and retail outlets, so there is something to suit every taste.
