A smartly upgraded bay-fronted end-terraced Crumlin, D12 house that retains its period charm.
A turnkey home is worth the perceived premium you pay to purchase it.
For those who can afford it, this is what luxury looks like in 2026.
You do not have to find a reputable builder available to take on the work, while paying rent and mortgage or living with relatives while the renovation is ongoing.
Number 245 Sundrive Road is turn-key.
Address: 245 Sundrive Road, Crumlin, Dublin 12, D12XT25
Asking price: €695,000
Agent: Sherry FitzGerald
The three-bedroom, end-terrace bay-fronted property has gated side access to its key selling point, its garden.
It’s a green space that isn’t overlooked, and that extends to almost 30.5 metres long. That’s 100 feet.
The B3 Ber-rated house dates from the 1930s, as does the name Sundrive Road, according to Crumlin and Walkinstown History.
In 1935, the road was widened, straightened and given its current name.
Situated about halfway down the street, between the Crumlin and Clogher Road junctions, the property is very smartly upgraded.
The remodelling means that the next owner can move in and enjoy it, but can also enjoy putting their own stamp on it, over time.
Any work will be cosmetic, the kind most buyers enjoy.
There are polished timber floorboards underfoot in the hall and original rooms, which are now interconnecting with pale oak doors that can be closed to return the front room to its original parlour status.
The chimneybreasts have been exposed to reveal the yellow brick, and the walls are painted a very soft eau de nil shade, creating restful neutral spaces that multitask.
Both are currently set up as living rooms, with one opening through to the large kitchen-diner extension built to the rear.
This has a vaulted ceiling and features Shaker-style kitchen cabinetry and a yellow brick splashback behind the range cooker, a subtle way of knitting the new with the original.
This dual aspect space has roof lights to bring more illumination, making it a really good breakfast room.
Double doors open out to a patio that is surrounded by mature hedging and planting.
This steps down to a large lawned space – big enough to kick a ball around.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, along with the family bathroom.
There is off-street parking to the front, and you could fit two cars parked end to end.
Agents Sherry FitzGerald is seeking €685,000 for the house, which extends to 105 square metres.
