Bright Dún Laoghaire apartment with views of the big blue

If you like sea views, then 16 Harbour View is a compelling offer. The three-bedroom apartment is on the sixth floor of the seven-storey development Harbour View, a residential and commercial mixed-use site jointly built in 2007 by Earlsfort Developments and Bennett Construction. Milano restaurant, at its base, is a key commercial tenant.

Number 16 is in a block to the rear, and from its floor-to-ceiling livingroom windows the vista is the stone exterior of St Michael’s Hospital and the big blue beyond.

The three-bedroom apartment has a kitchen/ diningroom/livingroom with glazing on three sides. It is open-plan and spacious, and a wall of glass frames the view. There are no curtains here, just fine venetian blinds. When the windows or either of the two vertigo-inducing Juliet balconies are open, you can hear the lanyards clinking in the breeze.

The U-shaped kitchen has good counter space and vanilla gloss units. A small breakfast bar in the same laminate counter top divides the cooking area and the livingroom. This room has a westerly aspect and a sheltered enclosed balcony.

Entrance

The apartment entrance is situated beside the lift, but there is only very low noise transference. The apartment has three double bedrooms. One adjoins the livingroom and would make a lovely second living area. (It seems a crime to squander the view to sleep time.) It has direct access to one of the apartment’s two balconies and a full internal en suite.

At the far end of the apartment is the master bedroom, a sunny dual-aspect room that has plenty of storage. It has a shower en suite and a door leads out to the property’s second balcony, where you get the morning sun and views of Dún Laoghaire’s roofscape.

The apartment also has a small utility room with space for a clothes horse – a big plus as it keeps the living space laundry-free.

The property, which comes with one secure and designated underground parking space, measures 116sq m/1,248sq ft. It is asking €795,000 through agents SherryFitzGerald. Service charges are currently €2,920 per annum.

If rented, the property would achieve a rental income of €3,750 per calendar month.
