The impressive communal entrance sets the tone, with its sweeping staircase, lift to all floors and detailed cornicing, creating an immediate sense of quality that continues as you arrive at The Brigantine. Extending to approximately 212sq.m. (2,282sq.ft.), this apartment is beautifully proportioned and designed to maximise natural light. Large sash windows in the living room, dining area and kitchen/breakfastroom ensure the enjoyment of wonderful views over The Marina and Dublin Bay to Howth, giving each of these rooms a bright, uplifting atmosphere. The interiors are finished to a high standard, creating a home that is both practical and refined.
An elegant, light filled living room showcases ceilings soaring over ten feet, refined cornicing, original shutters, and a striking marble fireplace, creating a sophisticated backdrop for both entertaining and everyday living. Flowing from here, the dining area and generous kitchen/breakfast room are beautifully appointed with classic cabinetry and integrated appliances, offering an inviting and highly functional setting for cooking and dining. Opening directly onto the balcony, the sitting room enjoys a desirable southerly orientation that enhances the sense of warmth and openness throughout the day. A peaceful retreat, the main bedroom features an en-suite and a walk in wardrobe. The second and third double bedrooms each include their own en-suites, making them ideal for guests. Conveniently positioned off the entrance hall, a utility/laundry room, cloaks cupboard, and bathroom ensure the layout works seamlessly for day to day living. Adding to the property’s appeal, one surface car parking space is provided, along with a secure basement parking space accessed via a lift and supported by two electric turntables for effortless manoeuvring.
The location is exceptional. Positioned on Crofton Road, the property is moments from coastal walks along the West and East Piers, as well as the cafés and boutiques of Monkstown and Glasthule. The Pavilion Theatre, IMC cinema, and the wider amenities of Dún Laoghaire are all close at hand. Excellent transport links, including the DART and multiple Dublin Bus routes, provide quick and convenient access to the city centre and beyond. The area is rich in recreational opportunities, from sailing at the nearby yacht clubs to year round sea swimming at Sandycove, with an abundance of sports clubs, gyms, and scenic cycle routes adding to the appeal.
With its coastal position, uninterrupted sea views, quality finishes, and generous proportions, The Brigantine offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of distinction. It is suited equally to full time living or as a low maintenance coastal base. Properties of this calibre seldom come to market, and The Brigantine stands out as an exceptional offering in a truly privileged setting.
