WITH PROPERTY ACROSS the country in high demand, it can be difficult to get your head around what your money can get you.
That’s why each week, we pick a number of homes in a specific county, to make things a little easier to comprehend.
This week, we’re looking at properties around Dublin with an asking price of €500,000 or less.
No.48 Alderwood is a three-storey, semi-detached house situated on the edge of the old Hollystown Golf Course in west Dublin. Spanning 148 square metres, highlights include the stunning marble fireplace in the living room that is furnished elegantly, with a complimentary sofa and armchair in the room. The kitchen is fully fitted, with a tiled backdrop and a full cream layout for shelving.
The house has a B2 energy rating, thanks in part to the energy modifications carried out by the current owners, which include installing a gas boiler and smart home heating controls. Three bedrooms are located on the first floor, with a fourth bedroom on the second floor complete with an ensuite. The house is conveniently located in the village of Hollystown, with easy access to the M50 and N2 and N3 roads.
Located at the end of a terrace in Rialto only a 20-minute walk from Dublin city centre, 11 Reuben Avenue is in excellent contemporary condition. The welcoming entrance hall consists of a high-ceiling corridor with solid wood flooring, and leads into the living room at the front and the dining room at the back. At the rear of the property, a chic and sleek kitchen, with black and white tiles, opens onto the back garden.
Upstairs, two double bedrooms with original wooden floors are bright and welcoming, with windows letting in natural light. Both rooms contain their original cast iron fireplaces. The rear garden, which has a southerly aspect, is fully decked and raised at one part. The house is located minutes away from Rialto village and a LUAS red line stop.
With a dedicated home office/study, modern refurbishment, and a secluded patio area, 15 Baskin Cottages is a deceptively roomy bungalow with a number of attractive features. The original bungalow dates from about 1940 and was extended to create a home suitable for a large family.
With a large living room to relax and unwind in, an open plan combined kitchen and dining room and a luxurious family bathroom, there is plenty of room in this excellently located bungalow. The secluded patio is a particular highlight, facing west to catch the afternoon sun, with parking available in the front. Situated between Malahide, Swords, and Portmarnock, the location offers a great mix of amenities and access to Dublin city centre.
Boasting a highly-attractive location of Dublin 8, 6 O’Carolan Road is an end of terrace three-bed suitable for a family. Despite its proximity to the heart of town, it has enough room to create a suitable relaxing environment, with a rear garden offering an escape through a paved patio seating area that receives sun.
A combined living and dining area is separate from a beautifully tiled kitchen space, with natural light prioritised in the living room thanks to large front windows. The three bedrooms retain their classic charm through wooden flooring and the original cast iron fireplaces in two of the rooms. Located beside numerous public transport options, the area is quite mature but offers easy access to the city.
