Penthouse with panoramic views

DALKEY: €495,000:A SMART modern fitout, great storage and excellent views are the main attractions of a three-bedroom penthouse apartment on the market in Dalkey, Co Dublin.

Castlepark Court is a small development of nine apartments as well as this penthouse opposite Barnhill Stores at the junction of Castlepark Road and Barnhill Road.

Agent HT Meagher O’Reilly is looking for €495,000 for the 102sq m (1,103sq ft) unit, a price which includes flooring, blinds, curtains and electrical appliances. Seven of the nine apartments were sold for a receiver earlier this year, after going on the market at prices from €275,000. All the units had been rented since the building was finished in 2008.

The penthouse is still in showhouse condition. The main room, looking up Castlepark Road towards the Dublin mountains, is surrounded on three sides by floor-to-ceiling windows, all opening onto a large terrace. This nearly wraps around the whole top floor.

A smart kitchen/diningroom on one side of the main living space looks up to Killiney Hill, while the livingroom on the other looks across the sea over Dún Laoghaire towards Howth. The kitchen has a granite countertop, integrated Neff appliances, and there’s a wood-effect gas fire in the livingroom. There are polished porcelain tiles everywhere except the bedrooms.

All three bedrooms have fitted walnut wardrobes with plenty of space. The main bedroom has a good-sized en suite which, like the main bathroom, has underfloor heating.

The apartment is on view this Saturday from noon-1pm.
