Description

DNG are delighted to present No. 1 The Friary Apartments, an exceptional and architecturally striking two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse apartment with a stunning mezzanine level, currently in use as a third bedroom. Presented in immaculate turn-key condition, this unique residence has been stylishly upgraded throughout and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a design-led home in the heart of Temple Bar. Upon entering, you are greeted by a bright and welcoming hallway finished with warm timber flooring, setting the tone for the quality and style evident throughout. The property opens into a truly impressive open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, enhanced by double-height ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The living area is both contemporary and inviting, featuring a sleek modern finish complemented by a striking exposed red brick feature wall and carefully curated décor. The space flows seamlessly into the dining area, positioned beside large floor-to-ceiling windows with a charming balcony aspect, flooding the room with light and offering an ideal setting for entertaining. The kitchen has been beautifully upgraded and centres around a stylish island unit with integrated appliances and a statement stainless steel extractor hood. Finished with high-gloss cabinetry, tiled splashbacks and ample storage, the kitchen combines both form and function to an exceptional standard. A standout feature of this home is the impressive mezzanine level overlooking the main living space. Accessed via a modern staircase with glass balustrade, this versatile area is currently utilised as a third bedroom and benefits from excellent light and a unique vantage point over the apartment below. Bathed in natural light, the space seamlessly connects to the outdoors through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, which open directly onto a private rooftop terrace. There are two spacious double bedrooms at main level, both finished to a high standard. The main bathroom is equally well-appointed, featuring modern tiling and quality fittings. This property is further enhanced by its stylish interior design, clever use of space, and high ceilings which create a sense of volume rarely found in city apartments. Located in one of the most vibrant and dynamic districts in Dublin near City Hall & Dublin Castle, the property is set within walking distance of the top educational, commercial and leisure facilities including Trinity College, the Royal College of Surgeons, Grafton Street, DIT, the Luas, Temple Bar, Christchurch Cathedral and St. Stephen's Green. The area is well served by all social and essential amenities including many delightful establishments such as Dollard & Co, Roberta's, Elephant & Castle, Queen of Tarts, Bad Bobs, The Temple Bar Pub, Vintage Cocktail Club, The Clarence Hotel & Dublin's Creative Quarter.
