IN OUR WEEKLY cross-section of Ireland’s property market, we look at four homes in different price ranges, from all corners of the country.
Here’s what caught our eye this week…
Foxrock, Dublin 18 – €785,000
Located in a gated complex just a few minutes walk from Foxrock Village, this four-bedroom luxury duplex apartment is immaculately presented throughout. Downstairs is a large reception room, a kitchen, living and dining space, a utility room and a guest bathroom. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms, plus an en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom.
The fact that the property is set over two floors gives it a homely feel, but with all the benefits of apartment living, including a gym and sauna on site for residents, a concierge desk, underground parking and lock-up storage. The Hollybrook complex has landscaped gardens throughout, with water features, topiaries and shrubs.
Kenmare, Co Kerry – €595,000
This two-bedroom penthouse apartment strikes a perfect balance between modern living and rural tranquility. Situated on the grounds of the Park Hotel in Kenmare, The Retreat is one of 18 luxury apartments on the hotel’s 12 acres of parkland.
The living and dining area have floor-to-ceiling windows, making for a beautiful and bright space for relaxing among the lush green scenery. There’s a fitted kitchen with granite worktops, plus a family room, a south-facing terrace and a private rooftop terrace. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms with showers. Homeowners can make use of the hotel’s five-star facilities, including spa access, housekeeping service, linen service and more, though charges do apply for some services.
Portmarnock, Co Dublin – €260,000
This two-bedroom top-floor apartment would be an ideal choice for a first-time buyer, a young family or a potential landlord looking for an investment. The apartment has its own front door, and along with a kitchen/living/dining area, spacious bedrooms and bathroom, it also has two balconies looking over the complex’s gardens.
The Kilns development is just on the outskirts of Portmarnock village, with two national schools a short walk away and a creche onsite. Both the DART and Dublin Bus provide easy access to the city centre and beyond, and you can be on the M1 or M50 within 15 minutes.
Tower, Blarney, Co Cork – €245,000
This three-bedroom townhouse is an end-of-terrace property with a garden to the rear and two on-street parking spaces. The timber-fitted kitchen has a large dining area, and a separate living room space opening onto the garden. Upstairs are the three bedrooms, with zoned underfloor heating.
Tower is a five-minute drive from Blarney village where you’ll find supermarkets, four schools, sports clubs, restaurants, pubs and of course the famous Blarney Castle and Blarney Woollen Mills.
