Penthouse with mountain views for €1.3m

Built by Cosgrave in 2002, Gracepark Manor is a development situated behind the Regency Hotel on the old Swords road, on the airport side of Drumcondra. Number 401 is a penthouse that crowns a redbrick-facaded property to the front of the development.

A private lift rises to a lobby, off which is an eat-in kitchen with cherry units and polished black granite countertops. This interconnects with the striped- wallpapered livingroom, which boasts a feature round window.

The rooms have a great sense of space and share an east-facing balcony, which looks towards the houses on Gracepark Road.

Past two long narrow rooms (one a sizeable utility-cum-pantry, the other used as a study) is the property’s formal drawingroom. It has a soaring vaulted ceiling, solid walnut floor and a marble fireplace bookended by two sets of double doors that open onto a brick-fronted balcony facing west.

There are impressive views across the city to the Dublin Mountains.

This room has a second balcony, which it shares with two of the property’s four bedrooms. All of the bedrooms have balcony access, and the master and second bedrooms even have access to a second outdoor space, which is perfect for low-maintenance potted shrubbery and greenery. Each bedroom has an en suite.

Number 401, which comes with a private double garage, is for sale for €1.3 million through SherryFitzGerald.
