IT’S CUSTOMARY TO toast a new home with a glass of champagne, but the buyer of Apartment 2 at The Stables might find whiskey more appropriate. After all, this distinctive loft apartment is nestled within the walls of a 19th-century distillery.

Blending architectural heritage with modern comforts, Apartment 2 offers a unique living experience in a popular riverside location. Sitting within a quiet, gated development on the banks of the Tolka River, this first floor, three-bed loft apartment spans an impressive 169 m².

Originally built in the 1890s as part of the Dublin Whiskey Distillery, the building was transformed in the mid 2000s. The developers were smart, however, and retained key architectural features like original stone walls and red brick archways, creating a collection of unique loft apartments with character and charm.
