This end-of-terrace house in Dublin 10 has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a B3 BER rating.
Built in 2006, it extends 56 square metres, has a converted attic room and access to an electric vehicle charging point.
The house is tucked away within the Woodfield Mews development, which is hidden from the main road through a meandering laneway.
Inside, there is a nicely sized kitchen that is fully fitted with an electric oven and contains a washing machine.
The open plan leads into a comfortable sitting room, which has an electric fireplace and built-in bench seating, turning the corner of the room into a small dining area.
Double doors lead out to the rear garden, which has decking, outdoor seating and a small patch of artificial grass. High stone walls also offer plenty of privacy.
Upstairs, two large bedrooms sit opposite each other on either side of the landing.
There is a second bathroom with a shower, unlike the one beside the front door, and stairs up to the converted attic.
The 11-square-metre attic is carpeted and has plenty of potential to work as a home office, playroom or second living room.
Located just west of Dublin city centre, there is more than enough greenery in the area to give locals their fill of nature and fresh air.
While train tracks leading to Heuston Station and a dual carriageway run just behind the property, there is a walkway over them providing easy access to the iconic War Memorial Gardens.
The Gardens, which border the southern bank of the River Liffey, are just an eight-minute walk from the house, offering stunning scenery and historic connections to WWII.
The Phoenix Park is just over the river from the Memorial Gardens, pictured above, with the nearest entrance being less than a 20-minute walk from the house.
Áras an Uachtaráin, Dublin Zoo, and Wellington Monument are all within easy reach from this point onwards, not to mention the abundance of coffee shops and lunch spots in the area.
Closer to home, Kilmainham Gaol is a 14-minute walk from the property, with Heuston and the Guinness Storehouse not much further up the road.
For football fans, St Patrick’s Athletic’s home ground of Richmond Park is a 12-minute walk away.
The iconic stadium has been used by the Dublin side since 1939, though it also hosted Ireland's first-ever outdoor rock festival in 1970. This featured one of the earliest performances of the then-recently formed Thin Lizzy.
Other easy-to-reach activities near the house include Longmeadows Pitch and Putt course, a rock-climbing gym, hurling pitches, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art.
