Co Dublin/from €250,000: Apartments on the Main street of Rathcoole, selling from plans, will appeal to those familiar with this very attractive Co Dublin village. Kate McMorrow reports.
A full complement of extras such as appliances, floor tiling and fireplaces is another incentive which will entice buyers.
Launching this weekend are 44 two-bedroom apartments at Eaton, on the market with Colm McEvoy Auctioneers of Tallaght.
Prices start at €250,000 for two-bedroom units of 64-76.6 sq m (690-825 sq ft). Developed by Blackchurch Homes and designed by David Pym & Associates and Laughton Tyler Architects, Eaton will include retail units fronting onto Main Street.
Good views of the Dublin mountains will be enjoyed from most apartments and all will have a good south-facing balcony or patio. There is a variety of layouts to choose from within the development.
Decent-sized balconies and large windows giving plenty of natural light are positive features of the design of this contemporary scheme.
A typical two-bedroom apartment will have a good-sized sitting/diningroom with an open-plan kitchen. Integrated appliances including oven and hob, extractor, fridge-freezer and washer-dryer will be included in the sale.
Also standard is a classic-look fireplace with electric flame-effect fire and gas-fired central heating will be installed.
Wall and floor tiling will be provided in a neutral colour in kitchen and bathrooms. Wardrobes will be fitted in all bedrooms, in addition to useful storage off the hallway.
All levels will be serviced with a lift and a visual intercom security system will be provided. Previous projects by developer Blackchurch Homes include The Anchorage in Dún Laoghaire and Willow Grove in Sallins.
The first apartments are expected to be ready to move into by December 2004 according to the selling agent.
Plans will be on view at the new Tallaght offices of Colm McEvoy Auctioneers in The Square this weekend - and the company's Naas office is also taking bookings.
