4 of a kind: City centre homes with plenty of living space

No cramped studio flats here.

CITY LIVING MAY be expensive, but it certainly has its perks: short commutes, fantastic nightlife, and a choice of schools and colleges, to name but a few.

With many choosing to live in Ireland’s cities to be close to work, it can be tricky to find a place, especially if you’re looking for somewhere with more than one bedroom.

Here are four of the best on the market right now.

Grand Canal Dock, Dublin 2

This three-bedroom home is located on Albert Place East, close to Dublin city as well as the smaller suburbs of Sandymount and Ringsend. It’s a surprisingly spacious home, spanning two floors; it also has timber flooring and large windows throughout.

There’s an open fire in the living area, one of the many features that give the home a period feel – it was built in the nineteenth century. A terraced area is located just off the property, and on-street parking is available, too.

Offers open at €775,000.

Docklands, Dublin 1

Canon Hall is a development that overlooks the Docklands area of Dublin, so this two-bedroom apartment couldn’t really have a better location. The apartments have contemporary kitchens and stylish living spaces, and make the most of their compact space.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a southerly aspect ensures that the apartment gets plenty of light, and there’s balcony access, too. Secure parking is also available with this apartment.

Prices for Canon Hall apartments start at €330,000.

Number 9, Croit Na Mara is a two-bedroom apartment located in Salthill, just a 20-minute stroll from Galway city. Number 9 is on the ground floor, and boasts plenty of luxury features, from oak flooring in some rooms to large sliderobes in the bedrooms. Croit Na Mara also has beautiful southerly views of the sea from its terraced area.

Salthill is a lovely seaside town, close to the city while still retaining its own character: Croit Na Mara is also a two-minute walk to the beach.

Number 9 is on the market for €280,000.

Waterford city may not be quite as large as Dublin or Galway, but the accomodation here is just as high quality – and significantly cheaper.

Solid wood flooring can be seen in the property’s living room, as well as a lovely open fireplace. The kitchen/dining area is open plan and spacious, and outside, the garden has been professionally landscaped.
