4 of a kind: Urban apartments for lovers of city life
From a waterfront location in the IFSC to a sunny two-bed with views of the Spire.
WANT THE CONVENIENCE of a city centre location without compromising on space and natural light? We’ve found four Dublin apartments that strike the balance perfectly.
Grand Canal Dock, Hanover Quay – €560,000
With the quays of the Liffey on one side and Grand Canal Dock on the other, 31 The Waterfront certainly lives up to its name. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is a modern property that’s full of character thanks to its thoughtful interior design.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the kitchen/dining area and both bedrooms make this a light-filled space, with ample room for outdoor entertaining on the balcony that stretches the length of the apartment. You’ll be in the city centre in 20 minutes on foot, and the apartment is well served by Dublin Bus and Luas links too.
Clarion Quay, IFSC – €425,000
Another dockside location, this one on the northside of the Liffey, Clarion Quay is tucked just enough away from main traffic routes to feel a little more tranquil than other city centre apartments tend to.
This sixth-floor apartment covers 70 sq metres, with a large kitchen/dining area featuring wrap-around floor-to-ceiling windows and a sunny balcony offering views out to the waterfront and beyond. There are two generous double bedrooms alongside the living area, one with an en-suite.
Gloucester Square, Dublin 1 – €285,000
You’ll be right in the heart of Dublin 1 with this modern two-bedroom apartment situated between Gardiner St and James Joyce St. Overlooking the street below on one side and a enclosed landscaped courtyard area on the other, the Gloucester Square complex feels private despite its central urban location.
The apartment has two exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite, plus there’s a large separate main bathroom. A living and dining area with a kitchen to the front stretches the length of the apartment, and there’s balcony access from both the living room and the bedrooms.
Custom House Square, IFSC – €420,000
Spacious living in the city centre can be a reality, as is clear from this three-bedroom Custom House Square apartment, which covers 75 square metres. The fifth-floor property is accessed via a landscaped courtyard area and enjoys great privacy away from the busy city traffic.
The main living and dining area are situated next to a standalone kitchen, with potential to easily create a larger, open-plan space if desired. A sheltered balcony off the living area brings a great deal of natural light to the room. Spencer House is just metres from the George’s Dock LUAS stop and is close to a range of amenities including Marks & Spencer, Spar, restaurants, a cinema and bars.
