Scaling Sirius Heights

ROLL up, roll up! Sirius Heights has one last, three-bed penthouse left for €380,000 and it comes with designer styling and all furniture and fittings.

Located half way up Church Hill in Passage West (which is fast turning into lower Rochestown), this Bradfield Developments scheme is almost closed, most of the properties having sold off the plans last autumn.

The remaining two-bedroomed apartments are now on the market at prices ranging from €300,000 to €310,000 and the show units, of which there are just two left, are being sold lock, stock and barrel for offers in excess of €340,000.

The top of the range penthouse has to be seen as it’s in the rotunda part of the building, which gives the internal space an extra dimension.

Rooms curve in places and it’s a refreshing break from the usual pedestrian layout in square buildings. Just above The Highlands, and in a mature, leafy area of Passage West, the apartments are part of a mixed development of three and four bed townhouses, apartments and own-door apartments.

The three-bedroomed showhouse is one of two three-beds remaining.

The units come with an open plan sitting room and kitchen, with the kitchen tucked inside an alcove giving most of the space over to living space. French doors look towards the harbour and the full impact of the space is given in the master and second bedroom, where the curve lends a touch of drama.

Then, there’s a dog leg to the south with the master en suite, a main bathroom and third bedroom which is just inside the main entrance doorway. Access to this third floor unit is via a private lobby and the unit has 1,125 square feet of floor space.

All of the apartments have designated parking and there’s plenty of green space for those summer days.

The location means Sirius Heights is a short drive to the South Link, with local amenities close by.
