From school to penthouse: This €1.5m conversion in Dublin 8 is a unique city pad
1 St Kevin’s Place is part of what was known as Saint Kevin’s National School.
LOCATED OFF CLANBRASSIL Street in Dublin 8, 1 St Kevin’s Place might just be the dream luxury city centre pad.
On the market for €1,500,000, the three-bed penthouse is one of four apartments in the period property formerly known as Saint Kevin’s National School.
No 1 is part of an exclusive gated development comprising only three houses and the four apartments, making for a private and secluded place to call home.
The accommodation spans 2,691 sq ft across two floors, while there’s also a private roof terrace of 860 sq ft.
Stepping inside, the entrance hallway with floor-to-ceiling windows leads to the main living accommodation. The interior echoes a New York loft, with features including 24ft high ceilings, exposed timber beams and exposed brickwork.
With three exceptionally large picture windows, the living room enjoys ample natural light. The brickwork and beams give a charming and welcoming feel, while modern touches – such as feature wall panelling – add a sense of luxury.
There are three large double bedrooms on this level, plus two en suite bathrooms and the family bathroom. Each bedroom benefits from a modern and stylish design, whether it be wall panelling or sleek sliding wardrobes.
There’s access to the roof terrace from one of the bedrooms and from the hallway, with plenty of space out here to dine, unwind and to entertain.
Moving back inside, a feature staircase leads from the living room to the spectacular kitchen and dining room. The kitchen features on-trend grey units and a white centre island with stone worktops, while in the dining area there’s space for a table to seat at least six. There’s a small balcony off the kitchen, as well as a utility room.
No 1 is ideally located for those who want to be in the heart of the action, with St Stephen’s Green just a 15-minute walk away. There is no shortage of restaurants and bars to enjoy nearby, with Camden Street, Grafton Street and the South Circular Road all within walking distance.
If you’re looking for a luxury penthouse in the heart of the capital, it might be hard to beat 1 St Kevin’s Place.
