Loft-style living in Dublin 8

One-bed warehouse apartment for €345,000

When the Warehouse launched in the late 1990s it was hailed as a blueprint for New York loft-style living.

The properties in the former clothes factory are growing old gracefully and several of the one-bedroom units have sold in the last two years achieving prices between €285, 000 and €312,500.

Number 19 is one such one-bedroom property. Situated on the first floor it has a large dual aspect open-plan kitchen, dining livingroom and large industrial-style windows facing east and south and adding lots of solar gain to its C3 Ber rating.

The Siematic kitchen has stainless steel counter tops and a small island.

This part of the floor is tiled, as is the entrance hall but the rest of the room has a slightly raised wooden floor that has been stained a warm honey colour. A single support column breaks up this large space.

The current owner uses a mobile bookcase as a room divider to partition the kitchen and sitting areas.

A narrow but long, east-facing, balcony is accessed off the sittingroom.

The apartment has a guest toilet and utility room.

The large bedroom, which has fitted wardrobes, faces north and overlooks the internal courtyard which means it will be relatively quiet at weekends, except for the chiming of the bells of nearby St Patrick’s Cathedral.

The property, which measures about 110sq m (1,184sq ft), is being sold without a car parking space.

Annual service charges currently stand at €2,700.

The apartment is asking €345,000 through Colliers International.
