Description
Mason Estates are delighted to bring this bright, light filled penthouse apartment on the banks of the Royal Canal to the market. Conveniently located a stone`s throw from Croke Park, and Drumcondra train station, this large one-bedroom apartment has been maintained to a very high standard, is presented in excellent condition, and provides a private comfortable living space in the heart of Dublin 1.
Portland Lock, built in 2005, and designed by O`Dwyer & Associates Architects, is a development of 49 apartments, located just off Dorset Street. Number 38 is one of two penthouses in the block of 8 apartments, that with their southwest/northeast aspect ensures great light in the property throughout the day.
This spacious apartment briefly consists of; an entrance hallway with a hot press on one side that houses the water tank/cylinder and pump, and a separate storage cupboard on the other side. On the left of the hallway is the large double bedroom, with views of Croke Park, and opposite this is the bathroom, with a bath, extendable shower door, an extractor fan, and good storage. Moving on through the apartment is the large bright living space. The high-pitched ceilings give a great sense of space and there is ample light flowing from the Velux windows and balcony doors, which make this a warm apartment. The kitchen is adjacent, and while compact, has all mod cons, and could easily be modernised and updated. The property is wired for high-speed internet, has electric heating and comes with a decent D1 BER rating which could be increased to a B1, with grants available for these works. There is one secure underground parking space and free on-street parking outside.
Please note, this is a third-floor apartment with no lift, as a result the management fees are very modest @ circa 1300 pa.
The location is excellent, with Drumcondra Village a ten-minute walk north and O`Connell Street a fifteen-minute walk south of the property, while it is less than a ten-minute walk to The Mater Hospital. The property is surrounded by a host of excellent amenities, parks and sports & social clubs and the area is well serviced by public transport with Drumcondra rail station a five-minute walk and the 1, 16, 16D, 19, 33, 40, 40B, 40D, 41, 41B, 41C, 41D, 109X & 980 bus routes all on your doorstep. It is close to DCU, within walking distance of the Botanical Gardens and provides ease of access to Dublin Airport. The M50 tunnel in the East Wall is a ten-minute drive.
In short, this a fabulous apartment in a very convenient location and viewing is highly recommended. To arrange a viewing please contact Ryan O`Shaughnessy of Mason Estates or contact the office on 01 2951001. Viewing is by appointment only.
