An upscale flat situated within Cairn’s prestigious Donnybrook Gardens development, located in Dublin 4, has now been made available on the second-hand market. Covering 124 square metres (1,335 square feet) and with an A Ber rating, this primary level flat boasts a high-end interior.
The flat, numbered 43 Donnybrook Gardens, was originally purchased by an industrious professioanl pair in March of 2023. They are now intending to move into a more spacious property within the same vicinity. Though the Property Price Register listed the sellling cost as €990,110, factoring in the 13.5% VAT levied on newly built properties, the actual expenditure for the owners would have neared €1.24 million. The flat is now on sale for €1.2 million via DNG and is ready for immediate occupation.
Originally marketed as having two bedrooms plus a study, the generous dimensions of the study technically qualify it as a third bedroom. However, due to its elongated structure, it is more ideally suited as a study and seating area. This space is adjacent to the open-plan kitchen-cum-living area and provides a charming spot to work from, benefitting from seamless access to the encompassing balcony via a retractable glass door.
The kitchen oozes modern charm with its sleek handleless furniture and a central island separating it from the dining and living spaces. Additionally, the overhead twin pendant lighting adds a touch of elegance.
The open-concept space has a strategic layout placing the dining area centrally with the living area opposite the kitchen. Generous illumination provided by the French doors leading from the kitchen to the balcony, and another broad sliding door from the living area, creates a naturally lit environment.
The flat encompasses two sizeable bedrooms, one of them being the principal room, which includes an en-suite bathroom. There is an additional main bathroom along with a practical utility space positioned adjacent to the kitchen.
With the owners’ demanding work lives resulting in them leaving early and arriving late, the property shows no signs of wear. This property will likely be an appealing option for those considering downsizing their homes, particularly if they’re moving from wealthier areas in the capital.
The development avails numerous advantages to its inhabitants, including a round-the-clock onsite gym, a lounge for residents to socialise, and numerous community events like cocktail nights, as mentioned by the owner. Furthermore, it also provides a 24/7 concierge service.
Outdoor amenities comprise well-maintained shared lawns as well as a herb and vegetable garden, allowing residents to enjoy homegrown produce in lieu of visiting the supermarket.
Every flat in Donnybrook Gardens comes with its own assigned parking spot, along with a storage cubby and the right to use a communal bicycle shed. For mobility purposes, there are multiple bus services passing through the area heading to the city centre. Plus, the Sydney Parade Dart Station is approximately a 20-minute walk away.
