With the announcement of season two of The Walsh Sisters, which is currently in production, might one of the five siblings put down roots in this Blackrock home?
Bound by blood and baggage, the Walsh sisters are inspired by the novels of international best-selling author Marian Keyes.
The ensemble cast includes Louisa Harland as the emotionally adrift Anna; Caroline Menton as fan-favourite Rachel; Danielle Galligan as eldest sibling Claire; BAFTA nominee Máiréad Tyers as the razor-sharp Helen; and Stefanie Preissner, who helmed and co-wrote the series, as the dependable Maggie.
Address: 60 Carysfort Park, Blackrock,, Co. Dublin, A94 H367
Asking price: €895,000
Agent: Sherry FitzGerald Blackrock
Jack and Mammy Walsh, their parents, are brought to life by Aidan Quinn and Carrie Crowley.
Preissner continues as creative lead and writer on the series, with this season based on Keyes' novels The Mystery of Mercy Close and Angels.
Series two sees Rachel step outside the family bubble to navigate recovery on her own terms, but an encounter with a familiar face tests her newfound independence; Claire defies the traditional expectations placed on her as a mother compared to her ex’s responsibilities as a father.
Maggie’s quest to become the perfect family takes an unexpected turn at a marital crossroads; Helen becomes overprotective of her sisters while struggling with her emotional well-being; and Anna tries some unusual methods to get over heartbreak.
Individually, all five sisters are forced to confront their true identities as the roles in life they’ve previously played seemingly no longer fit.
With so much at play, might a house move be on the cards for one of them?
And, if so, which might be best suited to number 60 Carysfort Park, in the backyard of their Blackrock, Co Dublin stomping ground?
Only time will tell as the series is still in production.
The bay-fronted suburban home is in the heart of Blackrock, a short stroll from Carysfort Park, a green space with a recently upgraded playground and duck pond, and equidistant to Blackrock and Stillorgan villages.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi extends to 108 square metres and has a broken-plan ground-floor layout that sees its interconnecting reception rooms, both lounges, lead through to the kitchen.
There is plenty of space to install a table big enough to accommodate all the family, their partners and hangers-on, and room for people to make dramatic departures from the table when something they don’t want to hear gets said.
The kitchen is eat-in and has vanilla gloss units. It opens out to a low-maintenance back garden that is set out in paving and gravel.
There’s space for a shed à la Daddy Walsh’s escape space in the series. You could even upgrade it to a garden room.
The house has three bedrooms. The primary is ensuite. The box room has been turned into a home office but still has space for a single bed, should a sister need putting up.
The house is ideal for a family, which prompts the question: is there a bundle of joy about to enter the household?
Sherry FitzGerald Blackrock is seeking €895,000 for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom property, which extends to 118 square metres and has a C BER rating.
