An unassuming three-bed semi may hold the key to unlocking your family's next move.
The three-bedroom semi has long anchored the property market for family buyers.
But it’s a house style that is in short supply, with just 1498 listed on property portal Daft.ie yesterday, out of 13,664 listings, representing just under 11 per cent of the overall market.
The property style is underrepresented, making what was once commonplace rarer and therefore more valuable.
Address: 79 Landscape Park, Dublin 14, Churchtown, Dublin 14, D14 YA97
Asking price: €790,000
Agent: Mullery O’Gara
Number 79 Landscape Park is a three-bedroom, one bathroom semi-detached that extends to 128 square metres.
It is in a suburban crescent, within walking distance of Supervalu’s flagship supermarket, and the adjoining shops and bar in the stretch of stores that make up this corner of Dublin 14.
It has excellent bus routes and is probably equidistant from green line Luas stops at Windy Arbour or Dundrum, each about 1 20-minute walk away.
There’s a plethora of schools also within walking distance and scores more accessible on public transport.
All of this is a somewhat long-winded way of saying that this is a very well-located address.
Families shopping at this price point will love the blossom-lined roads in the area and the fact that kids hang out locally and call to each other’s doors.
The C2 Ber-rated property has a broken plan layout for much of the ground floor.
The sitting room is at the front, where there is a black polished granite surround to an insert stove.
This leads through to the dining room, which is painted a soft lichen green.
This, in turn, opens into the all-white kitchen, which has gloss units and a white polished tile floor.
This room runs across the back of the property.
Dual aspect, it is spacious.
If the next owners wanted to bring in more light from above, they could increase the number of rooflights here.
The kitchen opens out to the garden, which is private and has a south-facing aspect.
It has a paved area that leads to a dining terrace.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, along with the property’s only bathroom.
There is scope to extend into the attic in this type of property, which could be done down the line.
There is a windowed home office on the ground floor that could become a utility cum second shower room, a useful addition in a busy household.
Agents Mullery O’Gara is seeking €790,000 for the smartly presented house, whose large windows throughout make it light-filled.
At the front, there is off-street parking for up to two cars, along with valuable pedestrian side access.
