With four and five-bedroom houses and three-bedroom apartments selling from £335,000, the final phase of St Gabriel's, Cabinteely, will go on sale this weekend. Although the first phase of this Shannon Homes scheme was launched just six months ago, the long run-in time before planning permission was granted meant the site was well-landscaped before building began.
Earlier buyers, mostly young professionals with families, have moved in and the development has a surprisingly mature look. On sale this weekend are three four-bedroom semis of 1,340 sq. ft, priced from £335,000 to £350,000.
Four spacious five-bed detached houses of 2,500 sq. ft cost from £600,000 to £650,000.
There are landscaped gardens front and back, solid beech or cherry-wood kitchens and 9 ft high ceilings. Internal doors, skirtings and architraves are in hardwood. The five-bedroom houses have a wonderful main bedroom under the eaves with a dressing-room, walk-in wardrobe and a triangular picture-window set into a deep bay.
There are 20 two and three-bedroom apartments for sale. Two-bed units of up to 900 sq. ft cost from £220,000 and three-bedroom units of 1,100 sq. ft are from £250,000
to £300,000. Two penthouse apartments with 2,400 sq. ft of living space cost £550,000 and £575,000.
The price includes a state-of-the-art kitchen with granite worktop, polished wood floors, large balcony off the main bedroom and sitting-room and two en suite bathrooms. The original grounds of St Gabriel's have been preserved as much as possible. The agents for the scheme are Hooke & MaDonald.
