Take 4: Homes for every budget
Here is our pick of properties from €250k… up to €1 million.
GETTING INTO THE property market can be a daunting experience. Here we make it easier and bring you four of the best properties on the market around the country this week.
Under €250,000
Dublin 1, Dublin – €195,000
This apartment has its location as its main selling point. This one-bedroom is located within the Irish Financial Services Centre and would ideally suit a professional person or couple as a starter home.
It has just over 400 sq. ft. of floor space and is said to enjoy an large amount of natural sunlight due to its elevated location.
Under €500,000
City centre, Co Cork – €365,000
This Cork townhouse has come onto the market in good condition having been updated to modern specification. Built in 1906, it still manages to retain many of its Victorian features. The home’s four double bedrooms are spread across its first and second floors.
This property also benefits from an attractive outdoor space. It has an accessible driveway to its front with ample parking space, and a sizeable south-facing patio and lawn space to the rear.
Under €750,000
Dunkettle, Co Cork – €550,000
This home is just a short distance away from Cork city by car and also has good connections to the national transport network. It is a short distance from Mahon Point, Cork’s largest shopping centre.
The property has been architecturally designed and includes large amounts of glass and cedar wood to “harmonise” the home with its natural surroundings. The four-bedroom also has a third of an acre of its own grounds.
Under €1 million
Sandycove, Dublin – €875,000
This property has a surprisingly large interior considering its façade. Two of its three bedrooms come as doubles, with two large reception rooms as well. The first floor of the property holds the master bedroom which comes as an en suite.
Potential buyers may also be attracted by its desirable south Dublin location. One big advantage highlighted by the estate agent is that many of its rooms have the potential to be re-appropriated for different uses.
