BLACKROCK - €495,000:Douglas Newman Good is handling the sale of 17 Maretimo House, a ground-floor home in a small block of apartments on Newtown Avenue, just on edge of the village.

It's a spacious flat with 60.3sq m (650sq ft) of space, much of it given over to a good sized livingroom overlooking a private patio which in turn leads to communal gardens with direct access to the seafront.

The front door opens into a good sized hallway, leading to an inner hall with built-in storage.

The livingroom and open-plan kitchen make up one long room with floor-to-ceiling windows looking across the sea to Howth.

With so much space given to the livingroom, the two bedrooms are both on the small side, and they share a bathroom.

One is slightly larger than the other and has access to the patio.

The gated grounds include designated parking; the Dart is a short walk away.
