A D5 bungalow that has had deep reconstructive surgery to extend it out the back and up into dormer space. It’s now a ritzy spot where you and your family can hang out in a garden that gives off Ibiza vibes, where playdates can gather.
Village life is as much a part of city life as it is rural life.
It’s where amenities are on the doorstep, and the shops are just a walk away.
Number 20 St. Assam’s Park is 500 metres from the village, within a seven-minute walk of the Dart station in Raheny and a ten-minute walk from the seafront.
Address: 20 St. Assam’s Park, Raheny, Dublin 5, D05 N966

The semi-detached house has also undergone deep reconstructive surgery to deliver a full internal rebuild and extension.
The house now has a flexible layout that will make the kids proud to host the next playdate.
It can be configured as a five-bedroom, two-bathroom home along with a large open-plan kitchen cum living room, or a four-bedroom house with a separate living room to the large open-plan space at the back.
In terms of set-ups, older kids will plump for the latter.
It will give them a room of their own, where they can bring their friends around and pretty much have the run of the place.
For the parents writing the cheque, it means hall space to dump bags and maybe shoes, the advantage of a second space – the front room - and then, once the parent or guardian has rustled up some grub, space to congregate in the kitchen around the dining table and island, where every hungry mouth can be accommodated.
The fact that the open plan room leads out to a terrace and down a set of steps to an enclosed garden set out in the lawn makes it a safe space for kids to run around.
The house has four double bedrooms, two of which are downstairs, one set up as a double, the other with bunk beds.
These share a smart, large shower room.
Upstairs, there are two dormer bedrooms.
The principal has a shower, an ensuite bathroom, and a walk-in wardrobe.
As the afternoon moves into evening, when they run out of steam, there’s loads of room on the couch for them to all sit down and watch a movie together.
There’s off-street parking for several cars, handy when parents swing by to pick up their little ones.
And if the sun is out, you might invite them in for a cuppa or a glass of wine.
Those kinds of playdates can stretch on into the evening. The kids play on.
Someone fires up the barbecue. It’s a great way for parents to socialise. And sure, why not? It’s almost holiday time, and the living is easy.
Flynn & Associates is seeking €960,000 for the A2-BER-rated house, which is in walk-in condition and extends to 158 square metres.
