Concierge service for the well-heeled
June Edwards



A QUICK flick through the fancy brochure for this apartment development, and you know pretty soon it's not quite for your average firsttime buyer, but rather for the more well-heeled young buyer!

Developed by Glenkerrin Homes, The Grange, a large scheme of 500 one, two and three-bed apartments and penthouses on the corner of Stillorgan Road and Brewery Road is one of the most prestigious apartment schemes to come on the market this season.

And with prices ranging from 425,000 to 1.15m, it's predictably impressive, with it's New York-style 24-hour concierge service. Not only will your friendly concierge greet you when you get home, he will even book taxis, theatre tickets, take in deliveries, arrange apartment cleaning and dry cleaning services for you, and even direct your friends to the special barbecue area, which you can reserve for your own private party. The developers also plan an on-site deli/bakery for the development.

Designed by architects O'Mahony Pike, this is a contemporary building with classic-style interiors. Mature chestnut and sycamore trees were retained around the perimetre of the site, giving both privacy and a settled feel to the scheme, while each unit has a good-sized balcony, big enough for outdoor eating. Lots of glazing has been used throughout, to give good natural light to all apartments.

One-beds range in size from 50sq m to 59sq m (543sq ft to 634sq ft), while two-beds vary from 70sq m to 84sq m (753sq ft to 903sq ft), and three-beds are from 91sq m to 111sq m (976sq ft to 1196sq ft).

Well laid out and finished to a high standard, apartments here all have higher than average ceilings, floor to ceiling windows and French doors, while designer-type kitchens are custom-made and include all integrated appliances.

Kitchen units come in a choice of plain, timber or cream gloss, while glassfronted cabinets are lit from inside, and worktops are engineered quartz stone.

Bathrooms are ultra-contemporary and include fitted shelving and top-of-the-range tiling, while many of the three-bed units also include a small home/office.

Entrance halls are really impressive and spacious with excellent storage. Apartments also include a video entry-phone and a direct line to the concierge.

Price: one-beds from 425,000, two-beds from 605,000 and three-beds from 710,000 to 1.15m.

Agent: Hamilton Osborne King 01-6181300.
