This studio apartment extending to 43sq m (463sq ft) is set on the first floor of St Kevin's Church on the South Circular Road. The property, which dates from 1883, was the first church-to-apartment conversion in Ireland. The design, by architect Mary Donohoe, ensured that period features took centre stage, and in No 21, it is the large Gothic window that adds character.
