Three dream penthouse apartments to buy in Dublin right now

Apartment-living suits some people more than others. If you love being in the heart of the city, aren’t keen on gardening, and/or want beautiful views from a height, penthouse living might be for you. Penthouse apartments typically differ from other units within a building, both in their design and features. Some include a balcony, others have additional bedrooms or living space. In some cases, they ooze luxury. Below are three examples of dream penthouse apartments available to buy in Dublin City right now.

15 Embassy Court, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 – €2,100,000

This three-bedroom penthouse apartment at 15 Embassy Court comes fully furnished, with two private underground carpark spaces. It also features a remotely accessible CCTV security system and a 15 square metre storage locker. According to Savills New Homes, the penthouse comprises of an entrance hallway, a large kitchen and lounge area, separate dining room, family bathroom, three bedrooms (one ensuite), and a spacious mezzanine level which is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen features all mod-cons; including a double door fridge with separate freezer drawers, oven, microwave, induction hob, coffee maker and warming drawer. However, the real selling point is the balcony. Unlike most city centre homes, a generous south-west facing balcony of approximately 200 square feet provides ample space for al fresco dining.
