Sylvan D6W setting within easy reach of Sundrive shops
Address: 29 Mount Argus Crescent, Harold's Cross, Dublin 6W, D6W V993
Asking price: €450,000
Agent: Howley Souhan
Built in 1995, this is a small two-bedroom end-terraced house that is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking a green in a corner of the Mount Argus estate, which includes gorgeous, mature trees and walkways.
An ex-rental, it has been given a refresh with a full repaint and recarpeting of the stairs but needs some decorative attention.

The house is also across the road from Eamonn Ceannt Park, but you will have to walk round to Sundrive to the entrance to enjoy its playing fields, courts, velodrome and running track.
