4 of a kind: Spacious modern apartments with outdoor areas for entertaining

From a penthouse in Dublin 1 to a luxurious residence in Cork city.

WITH OPEN PLAN living areas, balconies for dining al fresco and, in many cases, the option to live close to a city centre, it’s easy to understand the appeal of apartment living. 

This week, we’re looking at three-bed apartments around the country – from a penthouse in Dublin 1 to a luxurious property in Cork city.

Cork city – €1,000,000

Located in the high-end apartment block of the same name, 19 The Sherkin is a three-bed apartment with a light-filled interior thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedrooms, kitchen and living area. There are multiple high-quality features throughout the property, including a new sound system, semi-solid walnut flooring and a 75″ TV with a custom marble surround.  

The kitchen is fitted with charcoal grey cabinets and silestone worktops, while doors open to a 70ft-long west-facing balcony with a small putting green. There’s also a smaller east-facing balcony. Each of the three bedrooms features built-in wardrobes, with a luxurious en suite bathroom extending from the master bedroom. The apartment is just a 10-minute stroll from Cork city centre and UCC, with an abundance of amenities in close proximity to choose from.

Ashbourne, Co Meath – €275,000

Located in the heart of Ashbourne town centre, 37 The Crescent is a luxurious three-bed penthouse. While living in an apartment often means having access to a smaller outdoor space, No 37 boasts two private sun terraces – one east-facing and one south-west facing. 

The property spans 1,130 sq ft, including a sleek kitchen with navy cabinets and a spacious living area. Each of the three double bedrooms enjoys access to a sun terrace, while the master bedroom features an en suite bathroom. There’s a designated parking space underground, but with such a central location, using a car everyday might not be necessary.

Custom House Square, Dublin 1 – €720,000 

If a city centre location is top of your list while apartment-hunting, 5 Valentia House will tick many boxes. It’s a short stroll from Connolly Station, Grand Canal Dock and O’Connell St, while Grafton St is furthest away at a 20-minute walk. As well as having a central location, the penthouse-level apartment has a south-facing balcony which can be accessed from the master bedroom and the kitchen and living area.

In the kitchen, there are marble counter tops and a dining area to seat at least six, while floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area flood the space with light. Two of the three bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, with stylish wall and floor tiling in both as well as the family bathroom.
