Mason Estates are delighted to bring this bright, light filled penthouse apartment on the banks of the Royal Canal to the market. Conveniently located a stone's throw from Croke Park, and Drumcondra train station, this large one-bedroom apartment has been maintained to a very high standard, is presented in excellent condition, and provides a private comfortable living space in the heart of Dublin 1. Portland Lock, built in 2005, and designed by O'Dwyer & Associates Architects, is a development of 49 apartments, located just off Dorset Street. Number 38 is one of two penthouses in the block of 8 apartments, that with their southwest/northeast aspect ensures great light in the property throughout the day. This spacious apartment briefly consists of; an entrance hallway with a hot press on one side that houses the water tank/cylinder and pump, and a separate storage cupboard on the other side. On the left of the hallway is the large double bedroom, with views of Croke Park, and opposite this is the bathroom, with a bath, extendable shower door, an extractor fan, and good storage. Moving on through the apartment is the large bright living space. The high-pitched ceilings give a great sense of space and there is ample light flowing from the Velux windows and balcony doors, which make this a warm apartment. The kitchen is adjacent, and while compact, has all mod cons, and could easily be modernised and updated. The property is wired for high-speed internet, has electric heating and comes with a decent D1 BER rating which could be increased to a B1, with grants available for these works. There is one secure underground parking space and free on-street parking outside. Please note, this is a third-floor apartment with no lift, as a result the management fees are very modest @ circa €1300 pa. The location is excellent, with Drumcondra Village a ten-minute walk north and O'Connell Street a fifteen-minute walk south of the property, while it is less than a ten-minute walk to The Mater Hospital.
