Family life is busy, and all buyers in this market want is to find a property within budget that is close to schools and amenities and, crucially, requires no further work.
Obelisk Rise is one of the many small estates off Stillorgan Grove, within a 10-minute walk to all the buses of the N11 and a 20-minute walk from Stillorgan village.
Built in 1995 and within St Augustine’s Park, it offers all the amenities suburban families are looking for.
Hollypark National School and Carysfort National School are on the doorstep.
Secondary schools within short bike or bus commutes include Blackrock College, St. Andrew’s College, New Park Comprehensive, Oatlands, St. Raphaela's and Loreto Foxrock.
The B3 Ber-rated mid-terrace house is set in a quiet cul-de-sac and is not overlooked to the front or the back.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence has been upgraded throughout, meaning all you have to do is book the removal vans and unpack.
The ground floor now has a flexible layout thanks to the addition of sliding pocket doors between the eat-in kitchen and the large lounge.
They were added as part of a deep renovation of the property that took place three years ago, and included the engineered herringbone floors throughout, the decorative wall panelling and the new kitchen.
The kitchen is to the front with its breakfast table in the bow window, a view that isn't overlooked.
The units have white quartz countertops and sliding doors from here open to reveal the large living room to the rear, which spans the width of the house.
This is a fantastic space that features a wall of glass that opens completely to bring the landscaped garden in during the warmer months.
On cold days, there is an open fire that can bring in visual warmth.
The room leads out to a large deck, which is west-facing.
The sheltered garden includes a shed.
There are two good-sized doubles on the first floor.
The principal has an ensuite shower room. The third bedroom is a single.
The property extends to about 90 square metres with an additional 22 square metres of attic space.
The attic has been converted and features laminate flooring and roof lights.
It offers a large space that could be used as a home office or further accommodation.
