Sandyford: from €455,000An opportunity to buy into the successful One Beacon development in Sandyford, Dublin 18 has been created with the launch of the last eight apartments through Sherry FitzGerald New Homes.
This Landmark Developments scheme incorporates a hotel, medical and dental clinics, a creche, retail units and 55 own-door apartments. Work is well advanced on a 145-bed public/private hospital due to open in late 2006.
For sale today are six two-bedroom apartments of 77-79sq m (780-800sq ft) priced from €455,000. Two three-bedroom apartments of 1,139sq m (1,150sq ft) cost from €650,000. These apartments attracted much attention when launched last spring and everything on offer sold out in a short time.
One feature that appealed was the ability to access the apartments via a lift in the hotel lobby or through a dedicated apartment block entrance. Proximity to Sandyford and Stillorgan Luas stops was another strong selling point.
The final eight units currently for sale were retained by the developer and not on the market at that time. Styled by John Rocha and designed by Traynor O'Toole Partnership, the exterior blends wood, stone and glass with good use of light, water features, plants and commissioned pieces of art.
Contemporary and ultra-smart, the interiors are finished to a very high spec. The price includes smart home wiring with sockets in each room. Dual-aspect views into a courtyard and to the mountains provide good natural light.
Porcelain tiles are laid in the entrance hall, kitchen and bathroom and wall tiling (where appropriate) is also supplied. Kitchens by Dutch company Keller have high gloss cream doors, marble and timber block worktops and a full range of electrical appliances.
Bathrooms feature porcelain tiles and are fitted with a bath and double-sized shower. Two-bedroom units have an en suite shower off the main bedroom while three-bedroom apartments have shower rooms off the two largest rooms. Wardrobes are built-in.
Balconies or terraces are also provided at One Beacon. The eight apartments are ready to move into as soon as paperwork is completed. Viewing is today until Saturday.
