Dublin 24: from €525,000Locals downsizing and parents buying for their children were among early purchasers at Cedar Grove, a small apartment scheme at the Templeogue end of Firhouse Rd, D24. Lisney is the selling agent.
Eighteen two and three-bedroom apartments are distributed among two cedar-clad buildings, three-storeys high and sheltered by mature trees. Five have sold, leaving 13 apartments for sale, including a glamorous three-bedroom top floor unit.
Prices range from €525,000 to €595,000 for two-bed homes of 81.5-117sq m (877-1,259sq ft). The furnished two-bed show unit costs €565,000. There is one three-bed apartment with 121sq m (1,302sq ft) of space, priced at €620,000.
Developer Millanridge and architects Fenton Simons have incorporated a strong specification at Cedar Grove, with large timber windows and inset glass-sided balconies. High gloss ivory and oak kitchens have granite worktops and porcelain floor tiling. Bedrooms come with cream wardrobes. Fully-tiled bathrooms and en suites include under-floor heating and Jacuzzi baths.
Viewers will appreciate smart Le Droff sittingroom fireplaces with marble surrounds and glassed-in gas fires. Recessed lighting is controlled by a dimmer switch panel, to create mood lighting at will. The apartments are also wired for surround sound, cable television, telephone, and digital burglar alarm. Each apartment comes with a private terrace or sit-out balcony with lighting. Landscaping is superb. At the rear, an Italianate courtyard garden with planted pergolas provides a pleasant outlook. The apartments are ready-to-go and buyers can expect to move in as soon as paperwork is complete. Show units are on view today and Saturday.
