Portobello Moorings is the ultimate in cool
Valerie Shanley



PORTOBELLO has that fashionable ring to it, just like its London namesake. This large, two-bed duplex apartment in The Moorings development in Dublin 8 lives up to its chic address on the Grand Canal bank and has an interior that name-drops the sort of contemporary labels familiar to any self-respecting interiors' fashionista.

Cool Finnish good looks are there in inviting 2Cool Design two- and three-seater sofas.

Jasper Conran table lamps create just the right mood, all to the soundtrack of a state-ofthe-art Bang & Olufsen homeentertainment system with multi-room speakers.

Solid walnut flooring in reception areas, alternating with deep-pile carpeting in the bedrooms, add to the feeling of stylish city living in a readymade city pad.

Entrance is through a gated courtyard with cut-stone paving, a central water feature and raised flower beds.

A flight of steps leads to the front door of No 40, and then into the large, bright hallway . . .

currently enhanced with the owner's glass console table and print collection.

The reception hall immediately indicates that this is a spacious apartment . . . the overall floor area is circa 103sq m (1,108sq ft).

A guest cloakroom is tucked away to one end of the hall, while to the left is the fully fitted, modern kitchen with integrated appliances.

A bay window, with French doors onto a small balcony overlooking the courtyard, makes for a bright dining area.

The rear reception room is the heart of this city home and is big enough to accommodate those key designer labels as well as a good party . . . the room spans the entire width of the apartment.

Upstairs off the landing are two double bedrooms (originally configured as three rooms) fitted with extensive built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom is en-suite and there is also a separate full bathroom.

Price: 785,000 Agent: Felicity Fox 01-6334431
