Dalkey: €1.05mOwners can look down on exclusive Sorrento Terrace from this three-bedroom apartment at 4 Sorrento Heights in Dalkey, Co Dublin.

Lisney is asking just over €1 million by private treaty for the 125sq m (1,350sq ft) apartment which has a balcony that enjoys the morning sun and one of the loveliest views along the south Dublin coast.

Located off Sorrento Road, the development is a short walk from the Dalkey village and the Dart.

The top floor apartment has a spacious entrance hallway with deep storage cupboard. There's an eat-in kitchen with a dining area leading through an archway to a 21ft livingroom that has access to a wide balcony which looks out over the rooftops of Vico Road to the sea.

The main bedroom is a good-sized double facing the sea while a second, single bedroom also has a sea view. The third bedroom, a double, looks out over the communal gardens. There is good off-street car-parking and the well kept scheme attracts a service charge of around €1,800 per annum.

Sandycove €800,000Auctioneers are reluctant to auction apartments in the current market, unless they are special and this is the case with 9 St Helen's, a top floor two-bedroom apartment on the Sandycove seafront that Sherry FitzGerald will auction on May 2nd. The AMV is €800,000.

Resales are rare in this small block which dates from the early 1980s and which won an architectural award when it was first built. The 70sq m (750sq ft) apartment has a large and airy livingroom with a wide bay window overlooking the promenade at Scotsman Bay. There is a working fireplace and plenty of space for both living and dining areas. Across the hallway, the kitchen is also big enough for dining, and it has sliding doors to a deep and sheltered balcony that catches the afternoon sun. The main bedroom is also at the back of the apartment and it too has a balcony and en suite bathroom. A second, smaller bedroom is to the front, with sea views and it has the use of a separate bathroom. There is car-parking to the front and a walkway through to Glasthule village with its shops and cafés.
