4 of a kind: Homes with balconies to enjoy the beautiful views

From a two-bed apartment by Malahide marina to a large detached home in Donegal.

ONE OF LIFE’S simplest pleasures is sitting on a balcony with a cup of coffee while taking in a beautiful view.

This week we’re looking at four homes around the country with balconies from which you can do that every day – from a two-bed apartment by Malahide marina to a luxurious residence by the beach in West Cork. 

Malahide, North Co Dublin – €475,000

A two-bed apartment, 377 Malahide Marina is located in the centre of Malahide village. As the name would suggest, it enjoys beautiful views of the marina, while double doors open from the living area to a balcony to allow residents to soak up the sea air whenever they please. 

A new corner kitchen has been fitted in the open-plan living area, complete with sleek cabinets and stylish countertops. There are two double bedrooms in the apartment, with an en suite bathroom in one. Car parking is provided from all residents, although it might not be needed with Malahide Dart station less than a 10-minute walk away.
