DUBLIN 14 FROM €399,500A NEW SCHEME of apartments has a good mature Dublin 14 address, a top-quality finish and its own putting green.

Hazelbrook is a development of 54 good-sized apartments built on an infill site on Upper Kilmacud Road.

Just up the road from Goatstown, the scheme has a good Dublin 14 location and is in striking distance of Dundrum, Stillorgan and Sandyford.

The city centre is 25 minutes away, thanks to the Luas stop at Kilmacud, which is in walking distance.

The first 20 apartments go on sale today and selling agent Hooke MacDonald will be opening two show apartments on site to give buyers a flavour of what is on offer.

Prices start at €399,500 for 47sq m (510sq ft) one-bed apartments. Two-bed units with 73-83sq m (790-895sq ft) are from €479,500.

Given the suburban location, prices and generous size of the apartments, it is likely that Hazelbrook will appeal predominately to the trade-down market in the area.

Aided by parents, first-time buyers keen to purchase in the neighbourhood where they grew up, may also be interested. Cavan-based Lomac Developments and RKD Architects have put a lot of effort into finish and design at Hazelbrook.

The show apartments are bright, well designed and attractive. Layout is fairly standard but the proportions are relatively generous.

Accommodation in the two-bed units includes a decent entrance hall, a large open-plan living-kitchen-diner and two large bedrooms.

Kitchens have cream German Wellmann fitted units with lots of storage, granite worktops, Miele appliances and a nifty light-cum-shelf over the sink.

The living area has lots of glazing which opens out onto a large terrace.

Bathrooms and en suites have heated towel rails, good quality built-in vanity units with shelving and attractive tiling.

Living areas have mood lighting, and SmartHome cabling gives the option for all sorts of entertainment needs such as multi-room audio, home cinema and internet access.

Common areas have extra touches, such as an eye-catching fountain at the entrance and a small putting green.

A bin and bike shed minimise clutter.

Each apartment comes with one car-parking space. Large underground lock-up rooms are available to rent.
