Inside Brendan Courtney's Dublin apartment as it hits market for pretty penny

Brendan Courtney’s Dublin City apartment is on the market for over €500,000. The ‘Keys to My Life’ presenter moved out of the big smoke and headed back to his native Wicklow to be closer to family, renovating a cottage in the process. After having to move back to Dublin momentarily after a car crashed into the front of his cottage, it appears that he’s now back in Wicklow — with his stunning central Dublin two-bed apartment on the market for €520,000.

The living space is bathed in natural light with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a sliding door that opens onto the generous, west-facing, L-shaped balcony, which allows for al fresco dining and entertaining.

The second bedroom is also a generously proportioned double room, with a luxurious main bathroom completing the home.

The internal courtyard of the apartment building is also a significant advantage, affording residents a high degree of privacy. Pic: Owen Reilly As for location, Usher’s Quay is, quite literally, in the heart of Dublin City Centre — offering immediate access to Dublin’s amenities, including Temple Bar, Christchurch, and Smithfield.
