WELL-designed homes, competitively priced, and in a great location, close to shops, schools and within easy reach of the city centre, developers Glenkerrin Homes are hoping to impress this weekend with the launch of 14 houses and apartments at St Edmunds in Palmerstown.
Situated just seven minutes walk from Liffey Valley Shopping Centre . . . with its 90 high street shops and 14screen cinema . . . in the grounds of the former St Loman's Hospital, St Edmunds is a stylish 500unit mixed residential development of large modern one, two and three-bed apartments; two, three and fourbed duplexes; and two, three and four-bed houses with prices to suit first-time buyers, traders up and families.
Interior design is high spec and boasts a list of impressive features such as tiled floors in kitchens, bathrooms and ensuites, gas-fired central heating, solid white interior doors, bespoke built-in wardrobes in all bedrooms and modern sanitaryware.
Kitchens feature top of the range appliances, including a four ring gas hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge freezer, and all have granite worktops.
Designed by McCrossan O'Rourke Manning, great emphasis has been placed on maximizing space and light, so windows in units are bigger than average with apartments boasting large wrap around balconies and extensive floor to ceiling glazing.
The show units, which are on view this weekend, have been sumptuously styled by Arlene McIntyre of Ventura Design and feature lots of cool shades, gorgeously tactile fabrics and a warm mix of materials. Even if you're not interested in buying they're definitely worth a visit . . . if just to steal some design ideas.
St Edmunds is serviced by good public transport and a QBC and the planned extension of the Luas line should make commuting to the city centre even quicker.
