What can I get in Ireland for... around €500,000?

From a rural stunner in Galway to a luxurious apartment in Dublin 14.

FINDING A NEW HOME within your price range is a tough project, especially if you’re a first time buyer.

That’s why, each week, we take a look at homes within a certain price range all over Ireland, to give you an idea of what your money will get you in today’s market.

This week, we’re taking a look at four homes around the €500,000 mark.

Clontarf, Dublin 3 – €475,000

An end-of-terrace family home, 166 Belgrove Park is a three-bed property set out over three floors. Its tall contemporary design hides a wealth of space inside, with a large open plan living/dining room downstairs. The master bedroom sits on its own level, with an ensuite bathroom, walk in wardrobe and private balcony.

Families will find plenty to love about Clontarf, and Belgrove Park is just a short stroll from the seafront. There’s easy access to the M1, M50 and Dublin Airport, and the DART will have you in the city in just over 20 minutes.

Kinvara, Galway – €475,000

If life out west appeals to you, then this five-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Kinvara should certainly fit the bill. The €475,000 property is a prime example of how much your money will get you outside of the city, with 2,475 sq ft of space inside and a site of 0.75 acres.

Inside, the current owner’s profession as an architect shines through, with plenty of eye-catching design features: Italian marble tiling, a double height entrance hall and exposed timber beams in the family room.

Clonskeagh, Dublin 14 – €495,000

The new development at Ardilea Crescent, right next to University College Dublin, has six new units up for grabs in the current phase. If apartment living doesn’t grab you, a tour of the luxury two-bedroom showhome may well change your mind.

There’s beautiful wood flooring throughout, with neutral tones, plenty of natural light and high quality finishings. Outside you’ll find landscaped common areas for relaxing in. Access to the city centre is easy by Dublin Bus, and local amenities include shops, schools, UCD and two golf courses.

Killarney, Co Kerry – €500,000

Given the space and scale of this rustic Kerry home, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was deep in the heart of the rural West. But this four-bedroom home is just a five-minute drive from Killarney town, putting you at the heart of one of the country’s key urban centres.

Inside this home, natural materials are right at the fore, with polished wood finishings in almost every room. The country-style kitchen features a central island and an atrium-style roof, making for an eye-catching and cosy space. There’s pitched pine flooring in each bedroom, too.
