Genesis

The birth of a new phase at Genesis

Cruden Homes launches phase two of its popular Forthquarter development with the opening of two new show apartments.

In the beginning, there was the initial phase of Cruden Homes’ hugely successful Genesis development in the popular Forthquarter area of Granton in Edinburgh. Now, the award-winning housebuilder has thrown open the doors not only to a new phase, but to two stunning show apartments, designed to showcase all that can be achieved within one of these inimitable homes.

The two-bedroom show apartments have been expertly dressed by Innov8 Interiors to perfectly contrast and complement one another through varied styles and palettes.

Whilst the first property, a spacious duplex, is decorated in contemporary monochrome tones with cool green hues, the second is decked with vibrant fuchsias and oranges, making sure that there is a style to suit a wide variety of tastes.

Both of the apartments feature fabulous, fully integrated kitchens with quality Porcelanosa tiling and spacious living areas, ideal for entertaining guests.

Hazel Davies, sales & marketing manager for Cruden Homes (East) Ltd, explains the concept behind opening two show apartments: “We were keen to have two show apartments at Genesis to ensure that they would appeal to a range of potential buyers and to showcase the variety of property layouts on offer. Whilst the spacious duplex with its low-key, sophisticated colours may be perfect for young professional couples looking to settle in their first home together, the second apartments brilliant pinks and oranges would be suited for chic young urbanites seeking a funky city pad.”

Comprising one, two and three bedroom apartments and duplexes, most of the properties in phase two of this gorgeous development 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 warmer 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.

Hazel Davies adds: “The ongoing appeal of Genesis almost certainly lies in the fact that the homes are reasonably priced, yet do not compromise on style, space, specification or location. 

“The development is the ideal base for any buyer looking to have a stylish hub that is close to the buzz of the city centre. Edinburgh city centre and the nearby shore area of Leith both play host to a huge range of bars, restaurants, clubs and retail outlets, so there is something to suit every taste.”
