The Millennium Tower, designed by architects O’Mahony Pike, in the heart of Dublin’s docklands is wearing well, settling into its milieu as it was envisioned. The penthouse has come to the market and is, according to agent Owen Reilly, the highest apartment currently for sale in Ireland, with an asking price of €2 million.

Built by Zoe Developments in 1998, the Millennium Tower was one of Dublin’s tallest residential buildings until it was eclipsed by Capital Dock. It lies at the very corner of Charlotte Dock in the centre of the city’s tech hub, handy for forays into town or excursions to the Aviva on match days. Its setting is superb, directly on the water across from the Marker Hotel and the impressive architecture of the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre on Grand Canal Square.

The lobby has two lifts and one of them will whizz you to the penthouse on the 15th and 16th floors of the tower. Utterly private and self-contained, the accommodation is a generous 167sq m (1,797sq ft) that runs over two floors. It has a C3 Ber.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms with dual-aspect windows that face the sea; one of the bedrooms has vistas as far north as Dublin Airport while the other bedroom takes in the snow-capped Wicklow Mountains, visible over the Dublin Mountains. Everything is there to see, the city a visual smorgasbord, from Howth and the wide expanse of Dublin Bay, to the Aviva and Sandymount strand, stretching as far as the East Pier at Dún Laoghaire.
