Under €500,000

Dublin 2, Dublin – €340,000

Well priced for its location, this property near the centre of Dublin has a lot to recommend it.  The three-bedroom would suit a growing family, with its location within a cul-de-sac affording it added privacy. It is around a 10 minute walk from St Stephen’s Green and Grafton Street.

Inside, the house has just over 850 sq. ft. of floor space, spread across two floors. Its back-garden is described as “low maintenance”, meaning that it does not have a grassed area. Its description does say it is south-facing though, which means it should act as a sun trap in the summer.
