THE IDEA OF taking on a renovation project can either instil fear or excitement in any househunter these days. Rising material costs and inflation in general can deter many from such an endeavour.  However, if you’re feeling brave but don’t want to start from scratch, a home like 8 Hollywood Drive might just be what you’re looking for.

This four-bed, two-bathroom gem is in the popular area of Goatstown in Dublin 14. On the market for €925,000 and spanning a generous 151 m², it’s already in great nick, so any renovations you do could be cosmetic right away – even while you work on improving the BER of E1.

With its carpeted hallway and neutral painted walls, this home exudes warmth and charm from the moment you step through the front door. It also provides a great starting point for anyone who wants to add their own personality to the spaces.

The entrance hall leads you into the other rooms on the ground floor – the living room that has built-in shelving and opens seamlessly into a formal dining room.

The kitchen comes complete with a separate utility room for extra space and convenience, while the family room, that’s bathed in natural light, serves as a cosy place for relaxing in. There’s also a handy shower room on the ground floor.

Upstairs, you’ll find the four large bedrooms that are all carpeted and cosy. They all share the family bathroom on this level.

To the front of the house, there’s ample off-street parking and even a garage for more storage or another car, if needed. At the back of the semi-detached house, the private garden is full of potential, so anyone with green fingers is bound to feel inspired.  

Hollywood Drive’s location is second to none if you’re someone looking to live close to the city without compromising on space or a sense of community. Top-rated schools like St. Killian’s, Mount Anville, St. Benildus and Our Lady’s Grove are all just a stone’s throw away. And UCD is within walking distance for when the time for third level comes.

There’s also a regular bus to the city centre and the LUAS at Dundrum is just a short stroll away. For drivers, the M50 and N11 are easily accessible, connecting you to all parts of Dublin and beyond.

With its ideal location, spacious interior and endless potential, 8 Hollywood Drive is everything an urban family could wish for in a forever home.
