4 of a kind: High-end family homes that are ready for moving day

From a four-bed in Swords to a five-bed in Westmeath, there are no fixer-uppers here.

FOR SOME PEOPLE, knocking down walls and carrying out renovations is the most exciting part of buying a new property. For others, the less work that needs to be done before moving in, the better.

This week we’re looking at four homes around the country with modern, ready-to-go interiors – from a four-bed in Swords to a five-bed on two acres in Co Westmeath.

Swords, North Co Dublin – €445,000

A four-bedroom property, 21 The Crescent is a light-filled family home with a modern fit-out. It comes to the market in turn-key condition, with white marble floors, a contemporary kitchen with grey units and large living areas. 

French doors open from the kitchen and dining room to a raised decking area with seating, while the lower garden is landscaped and even includes a small putting green. No 21 measures 1,614 sq ft and spans three floors, meaning there’s plenty of space for the whole family.
