MONKSTOWN €845,000:AN ATTRACTIVE two-bedroom apartment in the Salthill development facing the sea in Monkstown has come on the market, through Lisney, asking €845,000.

The dual-aspect unit is on the second floor of the Cosgrave-built development, which dates from the early 1990s and which was predominantly bought by owner-occupiers rather than investors.

Number 98 is a spacious unit with balconies at either end which bring the total living space to 133sq m (1,430sq ft).

The layout will appeal to downsizers because of the big livingroom, which has a raised fireplace and custom-built shelving, which allows plenty of space for furniture.

Double doors lead out to the smaller of the balconies which overlooks Dublin Bay. The larger of the two balconies leads off the large kitchen cum diningroom and

the view here is across the grounds of the development and also towards Seapoint. At 22ft by 13ft the kitchen has plenty of space for a table and chairs, as well as a large breakfast bar. The working area of the kitchen has cream- painted units topped with black granite.

Essentially this is an apartment for a couple, or an affluent singleton. The main bedroom is a reasonably sized double with access to the smaller balcony, and its own ensuite.

The second bedroom is used as a study, with custom built shelving and storage, a built-in desk and access to the larger balcony. There’s a full bathroom leading off the spacious entrance hall which is tiled in marble.

Salthill is a well-kept scheme with good communal gardens, and both surface and underground parking. It is managed by Wyse Property Management and number 98 attracts a service charge of €3.250 per annum.
