Sandyford/from €320,000: The last 32 apartments at Castle Court, Sandyford, Dublin 18, go on sale today with the Hooke & MacDonald agency.
All the apartments in this phase are good-sized two-bedroom units. Prices start at €320,000 for 66-75 sq m (710-805 sq ft) of living space and completions are expected from early 2005 onwards.
Castle Court is part of the Kilgobbin Wood development and one of its chief selling points is proximity to a good commuter infrastructure.
The M50 motorway is a few minutes' drive and the Luas terminus at Sandyford is within walking distance of the entrance gates.
Construction is well-advanced at Kilgobbin Wood and landscaping in the form of wooded parkland is taking shape. The apartments are designed to take advantage of views of the Dublin mountains and of the planted areas within the estate.
The blocks are designed, Parisian-style, with mansard roofs and exteriors of brick and blue-black slate. Large balconies are folded into the roof line in top floor units, adding visual impact.
Specification is high, with a good number of extras included as standard. Good quality kitchens come with a full range of appliances. Sittingrooms include limestone fireplaces and central heating is natural gas. Main bedrooms have an en suite shower room and wardrobes are fitted in all bedrooms.
Designed by architects Frank Elmes & Co, a typical apartment has an open-plan sitting/diningroom with the kitchen off this. The two bedrooms open off the L-shaped hallway, with the main bathroom opposite. Apartments will be painted throughout in neutral ivory.
Among developer Deane Homes's previous projects are Foxrock Woods in Foxrock, Tudor Grange in Rathfarnham, Cumberland Oaks in Churchtown and Orchard in Lucan.
