Extending to 98sq m, this three-bedroom duplex apartment won an architectural award in 1993. A blend of style and comfort, it has tall ceilings thanks to its location within a Victorian house, with six units in total. Bathed in light due to a large bay window, the C1-rated unit has a designated car space and is situated within a stone’s throw of Dún Laoghaire and Glasthule villages.

  • Plus: Lovely period features and three bedrooms in great location
  • Minus: As there are a number of steps, it may not suit those with impaired mobility
