DUBLIN 2 €1.45M: THIS IS THE way to do high-rise living successfully. The penthouse apartment at 30, Block 3, Gallery Quay in the Dublin docklands sits on the corner of the block with one side overlooking Grand Canal Dock and the other looking across Pearse Street and over Dublin to the mountains.

To take advantage of the sky scape there are four balconies, one lower level roof terrace (and access to the whole roof if you dare), and an upper roof garden reached via an 'eeyrie' in which it would be wonderful to sit and read.

At the edge of the roof garden there is even a garden gate, to a walkway around the front of the building,

The three-bedroom apartment, with good storage and an open-plan living/kitchen area, has been spruced up by its architect owner. Features include suspended ceilings with lighting above, smart home technology and a bespoke kitchen.
