From hospitals and universities to hipster coffee shops, those in the know know just how amenity-adjacent this B-rated three-bedroom Phibsboro terraced house is.
Royal Canal Court is a 1990s development of houses, apartments and duplexes hidden off Phibsboro’s Road and the Royal Canal linear park, where you can stroll from Western Way, all the way north to the canal, save for having to cross the road at Blacquiere Bridge.
Chances are you may never even have noticed this development.
Crucially, the gated estate also has vehicular access from White Lane, with off-street parking for one car.
But really, do you need a car at all, when you can access all you need on foot?
