IF YOU’RE HELL-BENT on living close to the capital, then, more than likely, space is a huge consideration. Easy access to the city and a sense of community are sure to be on the list, too.
A 210 m² home that’s flanked by the villages of Terenure and Templeogue, 159 Templeogue Road ticks these boxes and more.

Brought to market as a private treaty sale by Tom Maher & Co., this four-bed has a starting price of €1,4950,000 and dates to the early 1920s and has kept many of its original features.
Every room on the ground floor is filled with natural light, thanks to dual aspects and high ceilings. The ground floor embraces a mix of tiled and wood finishes that start from the entrance porch.
The hallway connects to the two main reception rooms – a drawing room and the formal dining room. All of the floors here are laid in a rich walnut wood, which ensures a great flow from space to space.
Original fireplaces with tiled surrounds add to the charm, while double doors from the dining room bring extra light in and step out to the garden.
The more modern part of the house is at the back and consists of the kitchen, a less formal dining area, another sitting room and a utility room.
The kitchen has lots of storage and hardy polished stone counter tops to match the stone flooring. It’s part of the open plan space that incorporates a dining area that’s bright and airy thanks to large windows that look out to the garden.
The bedrooms are on the next floor. At the moment, the attic is also a bedroom bringing the count to five. Fully converted, it would make a great home office, gym or playroom if four bedrooms are all you need.
Two of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms while the others share the family bathroom. Original fireplaces and built-in wardrobes feature in the rooms, also.
The back garden is as spacious as the interior of the house. Private and well looked after, it was designed by Fergus McGarvey and gets the sun for most of the day. It stretches 115ft and has side access, which is handy for any further updates.
The front of the home has space for a few cars and is protected by flower beds and mature trees. There is also a garage to the side of the house, ideal for extra storage or even converting.
Location-wise, this area south of the city is just a stroll from Bushy Park as well as the many villages that make up Dublin 6 and 6W. A family moving to the area will have ample schools, shops, restaurants and sporting facilities to choose from, while having easy access to the centre of town.
Space in spades and the city on its doorstep, 159 has a lot going for it. And for those who want to stay fit, the area certainly lends itself to hopping on a bike for the daily commute and leaving the car at home.
