With a price tag of £1.65 million (€2.1 million), the penthouse at Coliemore in Dalkey is among the most expensive to come on the market this year, but can boast of the most impressive seafront location and best views in south Dublin.

On the site of the former Dalkey Island Hotel at Coliemore Road, this upmarket development sits on the waterfront with panoramic views stretching across Dublin Bay to Howth. In addition to the penthouse there are also eight two-bedroom apartments for sale, with prices ranging from £550,000 (€698,356) to £725,000 (€920,560). Ross McParland in Donnybrook is the selling agent.

Coliemore is a modern four-storey complex, with an oval-style atrium foyer with a marble floor and walnut and chrome finishings. Two lighthouse towers are the dominant design feature of this nautical-style building, which is set back from the road on the cliff edge. Accessed from Coliemore Road, the complex shares an entrance with Kish restaurant. Both developments are owned by businessman Jim Delaney. Parking is provided underground.

The eight apartments range in size from 1,010 sq ft to 1,290 sq ft and are at ground and first-floor level. While all the apartments have two bedrooms and the same high-quality finishings, no two have the same floor plan. Large windows and high ceilings are some of the prominent design features. Bathrooms have Jacuzzi baths, and the main bedroom en suite has a power shower large enough for two. An Italian limestone floor is a feature of the bathrooms and kitchens, while there are two large walnut veneer cupboards in the hallway.

The penthouse unit has three bedrooms and is more than double the size of the standard apartments with 2,200 sq ft of space. Two of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms. Overlooking Dalkey Island, the vast living area of the penthouse is a bright, modern space.
