The final 15 apartments at a redbrick apartment development on Stoney Road, Dundrum, are being released by Vincent Finnegan Ltd this week, priced from £260,000 (€330,130) for two-bedroom units.
Altamont Hall, once the home of former Ireland rugby international Karl Mullen, is a three-storey scheme in two separate blocks, surrounded by mature cedars and horse chestnut trees. Chief among its attractions will be proximity to Dundrum village and the impending LUAS, and the fact that it will be within easy striking distance of the Southern Cross motorway when it is completed.
One block will be ready in three weeks' time, the other at the end of May, according to the selling agent. The apartments on sale from today are the final few in the 52-unit scheme, which has been selling quietly by word-of-mouth over the past three months.
The lower-floor apartments are all two-bedroomed and vary in size and lay-out from 750 sq ft to 850 sq ft, with fitted wardrobes, en suite shower-rooms and natural timber window frames. Most have sit-out balconies. Kitchens have beech-look cupboards with chrome accessories and there are classic fireplaces fitted with coal-effect electric fires.
The two 1,800 sq ft three-bedroom penthouses cost £395,000 (€501,550). Sloping ceilings, separate kitchen/diningrooms, good-sized sittingrooms and two dual-aspect balconies are special features of these top-floor apartments.
The grounds at Altamont Hall are being re-landscaped, but many of the original mature trees have endured and these create a good deal of privacy. Parking is underground for one of the blocks and in the grounds for the other.
