No need for any streaming services subscriptions here. The three-bedroom duplex in Smithfield is next door to an independent art house cinema.
When it was built in 2002, it was heralded as one of the new developments that would change the inner suburb of Smithfield.
At the time, the monthly horse fair was still held on the square,e and so the juxtaposition between bareback riders on horseback and 13-storey buildings made for a great contrast.
Address: Apartment 155, Block A, Smithfield, Market, Smithfield, Dublin 7, D07 FA31
Asking price: €595,000
Agent: Kelly Bradshaw Dalton
The 480-unit development comprises duplexes and even some triplexes, featuring floor-to-ceiling glazing, then unheard of, and double-height spaces within.
Apartment 155 is set in the middle of the development in block A.
Dual aspect, the duplex gets a lot of western light and faces across Stoneybatter with sightlines to the treetops of the Phoenix Park.
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence opens into the living room level and has a large guest w.c off the hall.
This is a mixed-height space with a large dining area facing a balcony.
This then soars to a double-height space as you walk into the living room and is washed in natural light thanks to its tall glazing panels.
Two of these are internal and help to wash light into bedrooms one and two on the floor above.
The ceiling height drops as you enter the anthracite-coloured kitchen, well-stocked with storage, its cabinetry set in an L-shape.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two roomy doubles, one of which has an en-suite, and a single that could be used as a home office.
The views west soar above low-rise Stoneybatter.
On a clear day, the amount of sky above your head is magic.
Thanks to the red Luas line stopping at the end of the plaza, the area has become an easy commute from the centre.
Extending to 105 square metres, this is a property big enough for family life.
It could also be a cinephile’s dream.
Located in the heart of Dublin 7, it has independent art house cinema, The Light House, on its doorstep.
You may never need to subscribe to a streaming service again.
The C2 Ber-rated home is seeking €595,000 through agents Kelly Bradshaw Dalton.
There is an option to buy one or two of the car parking spaces for an additional €15,000.
