Dalkey downsizing

With a price tag that matches the location, these Dalkey apartments are not just valued on their high-profile address, but come with interesting features such as a wide living room balcony and spacious marble-tiled entrance halls.

These five apartments are made up of one one-bed and four two-beds, and are the final phase of a complex of just 50, which has mainly attracted people who are downsizing locally.

With floor space ranging from 942sq ft to 1,018sq ft for the €385,000 to €475,000 two beds, and 528sq ft for the €285,000 one bed, prices are very much standard in the area over the past year.

The real benefit of the location here is the proximity to the sea, which is just a five-minute walk away, while the development is nicely positioned right between Dalkey and Glasthule villages (and Dart stations).

The units have been finished to a high standard by the original builders (who have since been taken into receivership by KPMG), with underfloor heating, CCTV security, landscaped gardens, underground parking and storage and living room balconies as standard.

The open plan kitchen and living room is the real feature here, with the balcony a highlight of that.

It serves as a great space to entertain and relax with guests – though it wouldn’t really have the space for a large dining table – it is none the less complemented by the balcony overlooking a green area, which can take a small table and chairs for summer sunsets after dinner.

The show apartment is open today and Saturday from 11am -1pm.
