Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Booterstown, this extended two-bedroom terraced house has more amenities than you think on the doorstep, for €595k.
McCabe Villas is a small estate off the Stillorgan Road that, at first glance, seems at a remove, until you realise it is on the doorstep of the Radisson St. Helen's Hotel.
So while in the midst of suburbia, you have a bar, restaurant, and gym facilities on the doorstep, with four acres of manicured lawns, trees, and sylvan pathways to also enjoy.

The two-bedroom, one-bathroom house, which has been extended to about 78 square metres, includes a separate kitchen and living room.
The D1 Ber-rated terraced house will suit both small families and couples. It opens directly into the living room, which is painted a deep, restful green.
There are polished timber floorboards underfoot, while a wood-burning stove creates a homely vibe.
It’s a warm, inviting room that feels ready for everything from quiet evenings in to having friends over.
The eat-in kitchen has hand-painted cabinetry, oak-style countertops and includes an induction hob, electric oven and Belfast sink.
Out back, the garden is laid out in paving and gravel and is south-east-facing, making it a bright spot for a morning coffee or outdoor dining.
Upstairs, there are two well-sized double bedrooms, both with wooden flooring.
While it was built in 1950, the house has been refurbished with upgraded windows and external doors to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
There is gas-fired central heating, modernised with thermostatic radiator valves.
It comes with off-street parking, a south-facing rear garden and access to both the Dart at Booterstown, about a 15-minute walk, and the N11 bus corridor, making commuting easy.
The UCD campus is also nearby, faster on a bike than via public transport. It can be utilised for many activities without having to be a college student.
Amenities include an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a gym, and a cinema, creating plenty of weekend plans for families and couples alike.
UCD also has other fantastic sporting facilities, with its football team playing in the League of Ireland First Division.
There are high-quality courts for squash, tennis, badminton, and basketball, as well as all-weather pitches and a rock-climbing wall.
The area is also well served by primary and secondary schools such as Booterstown National School, St Andrew’s College, Coláiste Eoin, and Dominican College Sion Hill.
The seafront is just over 10 minutes up the road. The park links Booterstown with Blackrock, making it an appealing option for a weekend stroll or a run beside the water.
Blackrock Park also includes a playground, a skateboarding area, and a coffee stand. Overlooking the Irish Sea, on a clear day you can see all the way from Howth to Dun Laoghaire.
There's a smaller playground just across the road from the house, which makes a strong case for putting down roots in this lesser-known part of Booterstown.
It feels like a rare spot in Dublin where you can combine city living with suburban nature, perfect for young families or those looking towards the future.
