32 Carrick House, Monkstown, Co. Dublin

A unique property in the heart of Monkstown Village. This is a rare chance to acquire a stunning modern penthouse apartment with great light, high ceilings, excellent finishes and superb views of the sea and historic surrounding neighbourhood.

32 Carrick House is a practically modern build property, constructed in 2006 on the top floor of a well established apartment building, literally in the heart of Monkstown Village. This fourth floor two-bedroom penthouse apartment is serviced by a modern lift and well maintained reception area and stairwell. Sharing the floor with just one other apartment, this is a wonderfully quiet property. Entering the apartment you are met by a rich solid walnut parquet floor which runs throughout the hallway and seamlessly into the living room. From the first entrance, your attention is drawn by the light flooding in from the double-aspect living room and kitchen.

Entering into the living space, you will be impressed by the sheer height of the ceilings, giving the room a great feeling of space which complements the light from the spread of windows and double doors facing out onto the terrace. The living area is centred around a freestanding stove and fireplace. From the main windows and full length terrace you overlook the beautiful grounds of the nearby St. Patrick Church and Rectory and beyond that a stunning vista over the rooftops of Monkstown and a clear glimpse of Dublin Bay and Howth.

Accessed from the living room is the practical U-shaped kitchen, with a large South-facing window flooding light into both rooms. The kitchen includes fitted units, integrated appliances such as fridge-freezer, electric hob, oven and dishwasher, with walnut-style cabinet doors and concrete style worktop and flooring.

The apartment provides two bedrooms, both looking out over the terace towards that terrific view. The master double bedroom is a generous size, with built-in wardrobes and a stylish ensuite bathroom with shower. The second bedroom is also a double bedroom, which would suit a double or single, this second bedroom has a large walk-in storage wardrobe and a mezzanine bed/play/storage area. Furthermore, off the central hallway, there is a spacious family bathroom with bath, wc and basin, plus additional storage and utility rooms, providing valuable additional storage space.

Finished to high modern standards, including Gas Fired Central Heating, and high quality External Insulation and Wired Fire Alarms throughout, this is a wonderful apartment in a very desirable apartment building. The development also includes ample car parking, locked bike shed, plus a lovely hidden garden behind the building, including slide-swing set play area and well-maintained lawns. The complex has a well-run and active residents committee which keeps the place in excellent condition and with a positive budget & healthy sinking fund. Service charge of €2,250 per annum includes bins/waste etc.

Monkstown is one of Dublin’s most desirable village, with arguably some of the best shops, restaurants and boutiques in the city. It is a popular spot with all these amenities on your doorstep, plus access to the beautiful coastline of Dublin Bay. Transport links are excellent, with the Salthill & Monkstown DART station a 5 minute walk from the property, with regular trains into the city throughout the day. There is also an excellent set of bus routes along the road nearby, including the useful Aircoach direct to Dublin Airport.

This is a uniquely positioned and exceptional apartment which is a must see if you are looking for an accessible and luxurious property in the centre of Monkstown.
