DUPLEXES OFTEN SERVE as super starter homes for those taking a first step on to the property ladder. Spacious, well-located and a chance to get the neighbours, they are perfect for young, growing families. Their rental potential is also a big draw if a family decides to move on.
This week, we’ve rounded up four duplex homes that have all of these features in mind, each with three bedrooms. From Stillorgan to Malahide, here are four options close to the city centre that might put an end to your house hunt..
A collection of two and three bedroom duplexes, Stillorgan Gate is a new development that stands around a central courtyard. Spread over 126 sq m, these roomy three-beds, although duplexes, have their own independent hall-door access. High levels of energy efficiency and insulation in the walls and floors ensure lower energy bills.
Located close to both Dundrum and Stillorgan villages, Dundrum Town Centre and Kilmacud Luas stop, these homes truly have all amenities on their doorstep. Local schools include Taney Primary School, Our Lady’s Grove, St Raphaela’s, Mount Anville, St Benildus and St Killians, while Dublin city centre is accessible within 30 minutes.
Another three bedroom duplex set over the first and second floor is No 36 Turnberry Square, which had a new oak kitchen fitted just last year. The home features an entrance hall, a guest WC, an open plan kitchen/dining room, a large living room, and a southwest facing balcony that gets the sun. Upstairs are three bedrooms. The master has an en suite bathroom, while the remaining two bedrooms share a spacious family bathroom.
Nestled away in a quiet cul de sac, No 36 is close to a range of amenities including schools, shops, parks, sports facilities. Outdoor activities are covered with a coastal walkway and cycleway to Howth, Clontarf, Portmarnock and Malahide. A six minute walk to Sutton ensures town is just a DART ride away.
It’s on the market for €430,000.
The third home in our round up is this duplex located just off the Blackglen Road in Sandyford. 48 Ticknock Way is made up of an entrance hall, living room, open plan kitchen and dining area and three double bedrooms. Floor to ceiling south facing windows lead to a large balcony, ensuring natural light floods the living room. One bedroom has an en suite bathroom and all bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. Off street parking for two cars completes the picture.
Just a quick drive will have you in Sandyford, Leopardstown or Dundrum, while plenty of green open spaces and amenities are all within easy reach, including Marlay Park, Leopardstown Race Course, and The Beacon. Buses, the LUAS, the DART and the M50 are all close by, making Sandyford an ideal base for commuters of all types. Within the development, itself, there’s a restaurant, pharmacy, dentist, convenience store, medical centre and a creche.

Located in a much sought-after location, 28 Waterside Close is served by the DART ensuring easy trips to Dublin city centre. The village of Malahide has a selection of shops, boutiques and restaurants, while the harbour and marina and the numerous other sports and leisure facilities are perfect for active families.
