A duplex apartment in the Shrewsbury Park development in Ballsbridge, is for sale by private treaty through Jackson Stops with a guide price of £520,000. Number 60 Shrewsbury Park has two bedrooms, an impressively elegant and high-ceilinged entrance hall, two good-sized reception rooms as well as a dressingroom and a utility room. The development itself is off the Merrion Road and is accessed via electronic security gates. It is made up of townhouses and apartments set in landscaped grounds which have matured well over the years.
An architectural feature of Shrewsbury Park is the turret-style additions to some buildings. This duplex for sale has a "turret" which gives the livingroom inside an extra sunny seating area thanks to a deep bay window alcove. The livingroom has a coal-effect gas fire surrounded by a Georgian-style fireplace and windows opening on to the iron-railed balcony, which has floor-mounted lights. The diningroom, separated from the livingroom by double doors, also has glass doors leading to the balcony.
The double-height entrance hallway features a marbled floor and a curving, blue-carpeted stairwell. There is a cloakroom under the stairs and, at the end of the hall, an inner, lobby-like area which doubles as a utility room. The second bedroom is at this level and it is a double room with an en suite shower room, as well as built in wardrobes, shelving and powder-blue carpeting.
The kitchen, off the entrance hallway, is comprehensively fitted and features an integrated dishwasher, de Dietrich hob and griddle, and American-style fridge freezer with drink and ice dispenser. The tiled splashback has an amusing, hand-painted scene of the Poolbeg chimneys, Sandymount Strand and Howth Head.
The first floor is taken up by the main bedroom suite which enjoys views of the Dublin mountains. The bedroom is a large square-shaped room with a separate well-fitted dressing area. A panel inside a wardrobe comes down to reveal a door to the eaves storage, which virtually circles the apartment. The en suite bathroom has a corner bath, separate shower, bidet, lavatory and wash-hand basin. The carpeting up here is beige and the walls white.
The duplex has underground parking for two cars.
