4 of a kind: Spacious apartments that'll fit the whole family
Enjoy convenience and safety, without compromising on square footage.
APARTMENT LIVING HAS A lot going for it: it’s usually more secure, closer to an urban centre and often cheaper than your standard family home.
In the past, opting for an apartment meant compromising on space, but nowadays you’ll get just as much square footage for your buck as you would with any other property style.
If you’re thinking an apartment could be a good fit for you and your family’s long-term needs, here are four of the most stylish, spacious and well designed options on the market right now…
Ashtown, Co Dublin
Royal Canal Court is a beautiful development in Ashtown, a Dublin suburb that provides quick access to the city. Number 152 is a three-bedroom penthouse, with a large open-plan kitchen/living area and lots of fitted storage.
Coming on the market in turnkey condition, the property also has a balcony that runs the length of the apartment, with a south-facing aspect for sun-soaked evenings.
Barna, Co Galway
Located a 10-minute drive from Galway city centre, Seabury is a gorgeous new development that overlooks both Rusheen Bay and Barna Woods. The best part? It’s located on 6 acres of landscaped gardens.
Number 10 is a 3-bedroom apartment on the first floor of the building, which comes fitted to a very high standard. All the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and the large living room has luxury touches like a feature fireplace.
