This week, we’re looking at properties around the country with an asking price of exactly €550,000, from the Dublin suburbs to Co Kilkenny.
Rathfarnham, Dublin 14 – €550,000
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached home in Rathfarnham is the perfect project for a buyer interested in putting their own stamp on the interior design of a new home. While the interior might benefit from a little updating, it has the bones to become a stylish family home with a little paint and new flooring.
The back garden is spacious, with a separate shed for added storage, and the front garden is paved for off-street parking. The home is located close to the M50, making it ideal for city commuters. You’ll be able to walk to local shops, including Supervalu and the local butcher and fishmonger.
Clonsilla, Dublin 15 – €550,000
Built in 1901, The Forge is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow located in Clonsilla, just west of the M50 motorway. The home used to be a forge, and the period details are clear from the quaint exterior with a Tudor facade. The current owners have lived there for 50 years, and have maintained a high standard therein.
Inside, the tiled entrance greets you, and the living space is made cosy with a solid-fuel stove and a bright bay window. The pine kitchen and spacious dining room are connected with an arched doorway, and there is an additional living area at the bottom of the stairwell to the attic.
Malahide, Co Dublin – €550,000
In Malahide, this three-bedroom, one-bathroom terraced house is well-situated with regard to the train station, shops and both senior and junior schools. The home is also located within walking distance to Malahide Castle grounds, which include walking paths, a park run and an Avoca Cafe.
Inside, the home is bright and spacious, thanks to a kitchen extension with two skylights. There is added space to relax with a bar set at the patio doors, which lead to the southwest facing back garden. The bathroom has recently been refurbished, with a stand-alone bath and rain shower, and the attic room gives even more space to new homeowners.
Kilkenny, Co Kilkenny – €550,000
Finally, in Kilkenny, €550,000 will get you a five-bedroom, four-bathroom detached home that has a unique layout and solar panels for added energy efficiency. The property is gated for extra privacy, but a five-minute drive will have you in Kilkenny’s city centre.
Inside, the entrance hall leads both upstairs to the first floor, as well as to each of the rooms on the main floor. The kitchen is set to maximise space with cabinets at an angle around the room. The dining area is bright, thanks to a bay window to the back garden. Double doors lead from there to the living area, which has a solid fuel burning stove.
