We are all dreamers, but in the property purchasing world, many of our fantasy homes are simply beyond our budgets.
It’s how most of us end up in the torturous position of having to get the builders in.
The critical shortage of building skills expertise means that, in the current market, what represents good value is the turnkey condition home.
Address: 261 Upper Kilmacud Road, Dundrum, Dublin 14, D14 K682
Asking price: €975,000

Yes, you pay a premium for such a purchase, but for those with access to those kinds of funds, it makes utter financial sense.
You can book removal vans and move in.
Anything minor that you don’t like can be changed once you are in situ.
For those looking to be in residence by Christmas, number 261 Upper Kilmacud Road, in Dundrum, Dublin 14, is a home that can make that dream a reality.
Surrounded by schools and amenities, the house, which was built in 1953, has off-street parking and is screened from the road.
It also has a garage to the side where there is further scope to extend, subject to planning.
As it stands, the house has a small sitting room at the front that doubles as a music room.
It can be closed off from the main space, which is open plan and zoned to include a dining area, a living area, and a kitchen.
The kitchen includes an island with a waterfall countertop and peppermint green splashback tiles atop the wall counter.
The dining table is big enough for the kids to sit there and do their homework, while the living area provides a second space for when the kids have friends over.
Full height sliding glass doors lead out to the property's real talking point, its 45 metre (150 feet) long back garden that has also been zoned.
It opens out to a deck that is big enough to have both dining and lounge areas, almost an outdoor room that you will want to spend time in.
Steps down from here lead to the lawned garden where there is room for pet rabbits, a sunken trampoline, swings, and a garden room with a home gym in the garden room.
Older kids will appreciate this addition.
These features, coupled with the fact that there is space to kick a ball about, will have any kids dragged to viewings plumping for the property.
Mature and semi-mature trees and planting punctuate the green space, including a young Scots pine tree incorporated into the second decked area, outside the garden room.
Upstairs, there are two doubles and a large single bedroom that is big enough to accommodate a small double.
Agents George & Maguire is seeking €975,000 for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi, which extends to 160 square metres and has an A3 BER rating.
