Dublin 8: €1.3m: A three-bedroom loft penthouse in one of the city centre's hippest apartment developments comes to the market this week with a €1.3 million price tag.

HOK is handling the sale of 41 The Warehouse, Clanbrassil Street, Dublin 8, which is in the former Crowe Wilson clothing factory. The apartment development of 41 units has many Manhattan loft hallmarks, including higher than average ceilings, large windows and terraces with views over the city.

The largest unit in the development, number 41 has 237 sq m (2,550 sq ft) of space. The apartment also has three generous-sized private balconies and a terrace. Number 41 was acquired by its current owner, an architect, as an empty shell and transformed into a smart city pad defined by light and space.

Original 1950s solid oak parquet floors are found throughout the penthouse and a Japanese stained oak floor-to-ceiling wall running the length of the apartment not only provides oodles of storage space but also cleverly conceals doors into other rooms.

Crisp white walls and the use of opaque glass throughout the apartment maximises the light. An open-plan lounge, diningroom and kitchen is exceptionally spacious. Taking full advantage of the views over Dublin city's rooftops, the lounge area has large windows and is dual aspect.

A hidden door leads to a cloakroom, utility area and family bathroom which has porcelain tiles and separate shower and bath.

A stylish stainless steal and granite kitchen has Smeg appliances and limestone splashback.

Off the kitchen area is a large main bedroom with room for couch and table. Hidden doors lead to an en suite with terracotta tiles and a walk-in wardrobe. Upstairs a second living space is currently home to a pool table and has more views over the city. Glass doors lead onto a large terrace, where dining out is an option. Two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower/bath complete the layout upstairs.

The management charge of €4,700 for the apartment, which is 10 minutes from St Stephen's Green, includes a 24-hour concierge service and car-parking.
