On the edge of the city limits, near junction 12 of the M50 and at the foot of the Dublin Mountains, is a charming double-fronted cut-stone cottage that has been extended and now measures 104 square metres.
The C3 Ber-rated, detached, gated residence is set back from the road. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom property opens into a hall. Its accommodation is to the front.
The principal bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe and enjoys a large arched window with shutters.
Running parallel to the front of the property is a light-filled open plan space that is dual aspect.
Further light pools into the dining area of the eat-in kitchen through a bank of rooflights.
The Neptune-designed units are painted a soft robin’s egg blue and include a curved pantry unit.
The kitchen opens out to an enclosed courtyard.
There is a laundry room off it, which takes all the appliance noise out of the main house.
At the far end of the broken-plan space is the living room, which also has doors opening out to a patio with the rest of the grounds set out in lawn.
At night, the whole of the city is lit up below you, stretching all the way as far as you can see.
The property has good public transport.
There is a bus stop within a one-minute walk of the property. It’s the terminus for the 15b, which runs late and offers early-morning starts.
After a night out, if you’re lucky, you could give the driver the nod and ask them to wake when you get to the last stop.
The M50 is just a few minutes’ drive away. The property is proximate to the Firhouse exit.
There is off-street parking for several vehicles.
Agent Sherry FitzGerald is seeking €695,000 for the detached house.
