ALTHOUGH it has long been part of Dublin, Blackrock has retained its village feel and remains one of the most desireable areas in which to live.
Mount Merrion Avenue is in the heart of this attractive location with its eclectic combination of older family homes, modern houses and contemporary apartments.
Woodview falls into the latter category and No 61 is a testament to modern planning and style.
Originally a three-bed apartment, the current owners have remodelled the 96sq m (1,040 sq ft) space to create a bright airy two-bed home with all modern conveniences.
The third bedroom has been transformed into a state-of-the-art kitchen which sits conveniently off the living/dining area. This ultramodern space boasts German-made streamlined units with stainless steel and chrome fixtures. A Silestone countertop and backdrop of South African hand-made glass tiles complete the look.
The entrance is bright and spacious with thoughtful attention given to providing storage. Recessed lighting and solid oak flooring enhance the airy feel and an intercom with visual display gives access to the front door.
By relocating the kitchen, the living/dining room is now a well-proportioned space with ample room for comfortable living and entertaining. Extra light floods into this room via the double doors leading to a south/west facing balcony.
The two bedrooms are large doubles with built-in wardrobes and views overlooking the communal gardens.
The larger bedroom has an en-suite with walk-in shower while the main bathroom has a bath.
Entry to Woodview is gained from Mount Merrion Avenue into the mature welltended gardens with private courtyard and underground parking.
