Stepaside: from €355,000Buyers have an opportunity from today to view show units in the final phase of Wingfield, a development in the foothills of the Dublin mountains at Stepaside, Co Dublin.
Sherry FitzGerald New Homes is handling sales for the last 17 two-bedroom apartments at this Liberty Homes scheme. Construction work is complete and buyers can move in right away.
Larger than average sizes and plenty of extras are strong selling points at Wingfield. Prices start at €355,000 for the smallest two-bedroom apartments, ranging in size from 79-84 sq m (851-900 sq ft). Two-bedroom apartments with two reception rooms and up to 162 sq m (1,747 sq ft) of space start at €435,000. Penthouses of up to 107 sq m (1,150 sq ft) cost from €625,000.
Wingfield shares a main entrance with Cairnfort, an established development off Enniskerry Road in the village. Owners have started to move into earlier Wingfield phases and the site is beginning to look settled. Exteriors are designed by architects McCrossan O'Rourke Manning in an unusual blend of contemporary and traditional, with multiple windows and penthouse balconies set into a mansard roof.
Kitchens by German company Wellman are uncompromisingly modern, with a Neff oven and hob and Siemens extractor hood included. Low voltage recessed lighting and under-counter lighting are also part of the package. Bathrooms have sleek modern sanitary ware, chrome fittings and mosaic tiling, with mirrors and downlighting.
With views across to Howth and the Dublin mountains from the upper floors, it made sense to create a residents' roof garden with raised flower beds and seating areas. Green areas around the blocks will be landscaped in a style to suit the architecture.
Buyers will be mindful of Stepaside's proximity to the Luas terminal and the M50 interchange at Sandyford. A new Dundrum shopping centre due to open in the spring will include a 10-screen cinema, theatre and a number of leading UK chain stores.
Previous projects by developer Liberty Homes include Clarion Quay and Gallery Quay in Dublin's docklands.
