4 of a kind: The most popular properties on Daft.ie this month

Including two houses in Kildare and a former Taoiseach’s home in Dublin 4.

EVERY MONTH, WE take a look back over some of the most popular listings on Daft.ie in the previous four weeks, to give you a taster of what your fellow buyers have been getting excited about.

Here’s a roundup of some of the most-viewed properties on Daft.ie for October 2018…

Donnybrook, Dublin 4

A double fronted period home with an enviable location, Eglinton House is a spacious and luxurious five-bed that spans 4,365 sq ft inside. Built in 1878, there’s a lot of history inside these walls. In 1941, it was where the American Consul resided during the war, according to the Irish Times. Later, in 1959, late taoiseach Dr Garret FitzGerald bought the place for £4,250 in Irish punts and lived there for almost two decades.

Electric gates lead to the large, well-maintained front garden. Another gated pedestrian side entrance leads to the walled back garden and lawn. It’s clear that seclusion and privacy are the name of the game at Eglinton House, even if the D4 villages of Ranelagh and Donnybrook are just a short stroll away.

It’s on sale for €2,650,000.

Leixlip, Co Kildare

A new development of family homes with a location that is ideal for commuters. Inside, the large open plan dining area and kitchen with island unit ensures a perfectly zoned space, while double doors lead to the back garden. Although there is a lounge on this level, there’s also an extra family room on the first floor: a super option for growing families as it can easily be transformed into a fifth bedroom. 

Located off the M4, the properties are ideal for city commuters and there are three semi-detached four-beds in the current phase. Leave the car at home and take the train into Dublin from Leixlip Louisa Bridge station, or hop on the 66, 66a or 66b and jump off anywhere from Heuston Station to Merrion Square.

Snap one up for €495,000.

Leixlip, Co Kildare

Sitting in a quiet cul de sac just outside Leixlip village, 5 Rinawade Close was built in 1998. But step inside and you’ll notice it has undergone a full refurbishment – just two years ago, in fact. The real hub of this home is the open plan kitchen and dining area that’s flooded with brightness, thanks to skylights overhead. There are also double doors that lead to the well-maintained back garden.

In terms of location, Number 5 is the dream for city commuters. You’ll be within walking distance of Louisa Bridge train station, with a regular Irish Rail Intercity service to Dublin city centre – and a bus service runs regularly through Maynooth and Leixlip too. With the M4 close by, a 45 minute drive will have you slap-bang in the city centre by car.

Yours for €349,950.
