Duncormick, Co Wexford
Fancy living a 90-second walk from the beach with sea views at every turn? Whether it’s a full-time family home or a holiday bolthole you’re looking for, this four-bedroom property is a coastal gem. Located in a private five-home development across the road from Cullenstown Strand, the house has views out to the nearby Keeragh Islands, while also being a five-minute drive from local amenities at Wellingtonbridge.
Downstairs comprises an entrance hall, oak-floored living room and sitting room, a kitchen and dining area with black granite work surfaces, a sun room, utility and guest WC. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with spectacular sea views and its own en-suite bathroom. The family bathroom is fitted with a Jacuzzi bath and separate shower.
Finglas, Dublin 11
Enjoy the space of suburban living while still being just a 20 minute drive from Dublin city centre in this four-bedroom Finglas bungalow. Built circa 1940, the double-fronted home has been given a full contemporary makeover inside, with clean lines and heaps of natural light, though some period features like high ceilings and a feature fireplace remain.
Smartly designed with family living in mind, the home features three bedrooms to the left on entry, plus a living room, fourth bedroom and family bathroom to the right. At the rear is an expansive square family room comprising a bright kitchen, dining and living area. The 100 ft landscaped back garden features rhododendrons, rose bushes and eucalyptus trees, plus a patio along the side of the property.
Drogheda, Co Louth
The owners of this four-bedroom home are downsizing after close to two decades, leaving behind a beautifully maintained property that’s ready and waiting for its next owners. Set on three-quarters of an acre of landscaped gardens and just a ten minute drive from Drogheda, the property is close to schools, sports clubs, restaurants, shops and bars while also enjoying a relatively rural location.
The spacious living quarters are comprised of a sitting room with marble fireplace and chandelier, a west-facing conservatory, and a large kitchen/dining area with a central island unit and integrated appliances. Additional ground floor accommodation includes four bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms. Upstairs are two more large rooms currently in use as a games room and office.
The home is on sale for €450,000.
Rialto, Dublin 8
This mid-terrace three-bedroom family home was built in the 1930s, but it comes to its next owners in turn-key condition, with extra space thanks to a rear extension and plenty of modern amenities.
Extending to 1,206 sq ft, the property briefly comprises an entrance hall, family room, living room and interconnected kitchen, and a downstairs bathroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, another bathroom, and a third generous bedroom at attic level. New Ireland Road is served by Dublin Bus and the Red Line Luas, with local amenities at Rialto and South Circular Road, plus the city centre is a ten minute drive or a 25-minute walk away.
