Dublin: 2 bedroom apartment, €550k
This Dublin apartment is high-rise living for those without a head for heights. The 2 bedroom apartment is on the first floor of Ardoyne House and perfectly located in Dublin 4- Herbert Park with its formal landscaped gardens, bowling green, tennis courts, playgrounds and playing fields is just across the road.
As well as the 36 acre city park on the doorstep, Ardoyne House benefits from it’s close proximity to Donnybrook, Ballsbridge, South Docklands IT Hub, Merrion Square and Fitzwilliam Square.
The Dublin apartment is conveniently located and bright but could do with a bit of modernising inside.
