As a property style, some duplexes offer the kind of proportions you get in a good-sized house.
At 105 square metres, number 7 Wolverton is the size of a typical three-bedroom semi.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom property is situated at the crossroads of the Lower Killmacud Road, Stillorgan Park Avenue and the N11.
The B2 Ber-rated duplex is one of just six units in a small development set across two blocks, built around 2005.
The large unit is laid out in an upside-down fashion and feels graciously large throughout, starting with its roomy entrance hall.
The first of its two double bedrooms is also on this floor and has direct access to a utility room.
One of its two full-size bathrooms is also at this level.
A wide staircase takes you up to the living areas.
This is a gorgeous, voluminous open-plan space that extends under the eaves.
The living area opens out to a small but private terrace, big enough to fit a bistro set.
The kitchen has Shaker-style doors, painted a marine blue and polished black granite countertops.
It is set in a C-formation and features a full-size, American-style fridge freezer.
There’s a dining area adjacent to the roomy lounge.
The principal bedroom is generous and also opens out to a balcony that is larger than the one in the living room.
It features a full ensuite bathroom, with a separate shower and bath.
The B2 Ber-rated property has acres of storage.
There are banks of wardrobes in both bedrooms, further storage under the stairs and in the utility room, and there is a broom cupboard upstairs.
This is a property that will suit those trading down as well as small families.
It would also work for two friends buying together.
Agent Ed Dempsey is seeking €500,000 for the property, which is just a short walk to Stillorgan village and its shopping centre, cinema and eateries.
Blackrock is about a 20-minute walk downhill.
The bus corridors of the N11 are on its doorstep, with the E1 and E2 offering cross-town services.
The property comes to market with one parking space.
