A three-bedroom Dalkey apartment with superb views over Dublin Bay is expected to fetch around £380,000 (€482,500) at a Gunne Residential auction on October 9th.
This larger than average apartment is in Sorrento Heights, an attractive scheme set high on Dalkey Hill, leading off Sorrento Road.
A-top floor unit with its own front door, number 17 has around 1,200 sq ft of space, including a terrific balcony overlooking all of Dalkey and the sea beyond. Inside, the main rooms are focused on the views. The 20 ft livingroom has a wide picture window, a side window and glazed door which offer the same wonderful outlook.
Recent refurbishment by the present owners include outfitting the kitchen in Shaker-style beech units, installing double glazing, remodelling both bathroom and en suite shower room and redecorating throughout.
The front door opens on to a large light-filled open plan hall/lounge/dining area and working kitchen. One wall of the hall is furnished with a built-in ceiling-height bookcase. The colour scheme of white and beige combines with a high ceiling for a spacious, easy feel.
The tiled kitchen is equipped with cooker and multispeed extractor fan, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There is a cloakroom off the hall.
The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes, and the tiled en suite shower room has a power shower. One of the remaining two bedrooms is wired for use as a home office. The main bathroom has a bath and pedestal basin in white, framed by blue mosaic tile shelving.
Outside, there is a choice of two communal car parks. A path winds through landscaped communal gardens to the front door. There is an adjacent store house.
