Asking price: €475,000 Agent: Sherry FitzGerald (01) 837 3737

If you want to feel on top of the world, this penthouse apartment comes with a wraparound balcony from where you can gaze down over the lakes and walkways of Santry Park below.

At 1,400 sq ft, it’s a good deal bigger than an average three-bed semi, about 300 sq ft in fact and in one of north Dublin’s most convenient locations.

Local amenities include Gulliver’s Retail Park, Ikea and the Omni shopping centre, while the city centre is a 15-minute drive away and Dublin Airport is a mile down the road, meaning you could still walk it with your wheely case in the event of a taxi no-show.

Temple Gardens is part of the Northwood development built by Morrison Homes in the early Noughties. One of its most famous former residents is author Cecilia Ahern, who bought her first home here (PS: she loved it) before moving across to nearby Malahide.

Launched in 2004, the apartments were designed to make the most of natural light. Banks of floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the surrounding parkland with its mature oak and sycamore trees, landscaped lawns and walled garden.

The dual-aspect south-facing living room looking on to the wraparound balcony

Due to its elevated and recessed position at the top of its block, No137 has the added feature of that wraparound balcony from where you can take in the views and make the most of warm sunny days.

Accommodation includes a dual-aspect living room with access to the south-facing part of the balcony and a dining area that comfortably accommodates a table for eight.

Next to the living room is a fitted kitchen with Shaker style units and tiled floor. There are three bedrooms (one ensuite) and a bathroom. The apartment comes with two designated parking spaces and a C1 BER. Management fees are €2,400 a year.
