4 of a kind: Move-in ready homes that won't need lengthy renovations

Not open to a fixer-upper? There’s (hopefully) no need with these four properties.

NOT EVERYONE IS game for purchasing a home that needs fixing up before even moving belongings in. 

If your property search has you narrowing in on homes that are move-in ready and require no updating, here are four of those for you today. 

From a four-bedroom spot in Co Meath, to a north Dublin property with lofted ceilings and lots of light, you could pack your bag and move into any one of these four properties straight away.

Ashbourne, Co Meath – €355,000

This four-bedroom, three-bathroom semi-detached home on the Dublin side of Ashbourne, Co Meath, is set on a cul de sac in a small development of only 12 houses. With high quality finishing elements, like granite countertops and hardwood doors, this home is built to last — and to be low-maintenance long in the future. 

Double doors lead from the sitting room, which benefits from extra light through a bay window, to the kitchen and dining area. Patio doors lead to the back garden, where you’ll find a garden shed that is included in the sale. The front garden has a cobble lock driveway for convenient off-street parking.
