Arklow: The first penthouse apartments at the Arklow Marina Village scheme in Arklow, Co Wicklow are being released this week through joint agents Sherry FitzGerald New Homes and Sherry FitzGerald Myles Doyle with prices starting at €320,000.
Adjoining Arklow harbour and a few minutes walk from the town centre, Arklow Marina Village enjoys views of the Avoca river, the local marina and the sea.
Set in seven mainly three-storey blocks, the development is extensively landscaped with lots of water features.
With 121 sq m (1,300 sq ft) of accommodation, the penthouses offer large light-filled accommodation - some of them have spacious curved wraparound balconies.
Penthouses come with fitted kitchens, ash doors, a feature fireplace with gas fire insert, gas-fired central heating and the main bedroom en suite.
The external elevations incorporate circular-shaped end units in each block - reminiscent of a lighthouse in keeping with the maritime setting - so some penthouses have curved walls with 180-degree views of the surrounding area.
Arklow is a busy town with plenty of pubs, hotels and restaurants. A number of start-up enterprises have chosen to locate in the town recently adding to the local buzz.
In addition, with the ongoing upgrading of the N11, the area will be easier to reach from Dublin in the near future.
A limited number of two-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom townhouses and duplexes, and four-bedroom townhouses are still available at Arklow Marina Village.
The two-bedroom apartments have 65-70 sq m (700-750 sq ft) and are priced from €190,000.
Three-bedroom duplexes of 105 sq m (1,130 sq ft) cost from €245,000 while three-bedroom townhouses of 115 sq m (1,235 sq ft) are priced from €310,000. Four-bedroom townhouses of 159 sq m (1,710 sq ft) cost from €340,000.
Show units at Arklow Marina Village will be on view this Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Completion dates for this phase run from now till summer 2004.
