Brookvale Road is one of Donnybrook’s secret streets.
The quiet cul-de-sac features a couple of small terraces of houses and a footbridge across the river Dodder.
To the uninitiated, it is a gorgeous spot to stand and survey the wildlife below.
To the left, sequestered from view, is a terrace of townhouses, a small development named Donbur that is hidden behind a set of gates.

From their elevated position, these homes command sun-soaked views up and down the river from the back of the properties.
With a yellow-brick exterior, the houses feature glass-block detailing and overhanging windows at the first-floor level.
One of a terrace of seven, number 6 is smartly designed, a peaceful place to unpack your bags.
The C1 Ber-rated three-bedroom property is well laid out.
There is an eat-in kitchen at the front. It has a wall of cabinets and space for a table for four.
Double doors lead directly through to the living room.
This runs the width of the house, has an open fire, and opens out to a small, south-facing balcony framing river views.
There is also a guest w.c.
Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms.
The principal is at the back and has an ensuite bathroom and a balcony with gorgeous vistas up and down the river.
Extending to 102 square metres, the property is seeking €795,000 through agents Sherry FitzGerald.
The property comes with two designated car parking spaces and is set in landscaped communal gardens.
Save for the balcony spaces, number 6 has no private outdoor space of its own.
That said, the surroundings are sylvan.
The location is serene and connected to nature, and yet is just minutes from the shops, bars, restaurants, and stadia of Donnybrook.
There are numerous schools within walking distance, and David Lloyd gym is a short walk upriver.
So too is Ashtons at the weir in Clonskeagh, a promenade that can be done along the water.
Herbert Park is just a five-minute walk.
With the new section of the Dodder greenway complete, you can cycle east all the way to Ringsend.
Travel in the other direction, west, can be done off-road from the next bridge at Clonskeagh.
