Drumcondra from €510,000: Sherry FitzGerald New Homes is selling the final phase of 25 apartments at Hampton Lodge, a development in the grounds of a former convent off Grace Park Road and Griffith Avenue in Drumcondra, Dublin 9.

Prices start at €510,000 for a two-bedroom apartment with a study ranging in size from 72-75sq m (775-812sq ft).

A three-bedroom penthouse at €850,000 has 123sq m (1,324sq ft) of space. Underground car-parking - one space for two-beds and two spaces for three-bed penthouses - is included in the price.

There are 110 apartments at Hampton Lodge spread across two small blocks surrounded by five acres of grounds.

The four-storey blocks have deep glass balconies and penthouses with full-height windows. Glass cores provide entry to the triple-height glazed entrance foyers.

Instead of the usual cramped hallways, residents will reach their front doors through internal winter gardens.

Inside, the apartments have an attractive modern design. Floor-to-ceiling windows and patio doors which maximise the natural light will bring in the surrounding views of greenery.

The kitchens have a sleek contemporary look with high gloss cream cabinets with glass insets, granite worktops, stainless steel appliances and recessed downlighters. The bathrooms include thermostatically controlled showers, wall-mounted heated towel rails, floor and wall tiling and downlighters.

Other features include an on-site caretaker and natural gas central heating.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year, according to the selling agent.
