Stylish living in The Quarry

DESCRIBED as the Ballsbridge of Limerick by John O’Doherty of Robert’s Auctioneers, the North Circular Road is one of the better addresses, on Shannonside.

Which is why The Quarry apartment development, a high spec scheme less than two years old, carries a high entry level.

Mr O’Doherty is selling a two-bedroomed unit there for offers of 325,000, and while it’s a little on the high side by Limerick standards, it would fetch a lot more in Cork or Dublin, he says.

There are just 16 apartments in the entire Quarry development and all of the units are sold to owner-occupiers, says Mr O’Doherty.

Apartment one also has one of the best aspects, with a south-facing veranda and a view over the communal gardens at the rear. Electronic-access parking is available in the basement, as is lock-up storage and there is the option of further parking.

Number one has a fully fitted kitchen, spacious open-plan lounge/dining room and two double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite. There is also a main bathroom.

Sold with carpets, curtains and fittings, the furniture is an optional extra.
