Ranelagh, Dublin 6 – €500,000
A two-bed end-of-terrace property, every last bit of space is utilised at 1 Mountpleasant Villas. The entire house was renovated in 2011, making for a bright and modern family home. The renovation saw the layout of the property completely change, with the two bedrooms, en suite bathroom and family bathroom now on the ground floor.
The open-plan living and dining area is on the first floor, complete with Velux windows and a wood-burning stove. At mezzanine level is the kitchen, which is finished with black granite countertops and integrated appliances. No 1 is ideally located in the heart of Ranelagh, with the Luas stop just a five-minute walk away.
Grangegorman, Dublin 7 – €500,000
A two-bed period home, 6 Orchard Terrace comes to the market in walk-in condition. Built in 1910, an extension was later added to facilitate an open-plan kitchen and dining room. A patio door opens from the kitchen to the rear garden, where there’s a gravel area for dining al fresco.
Many of the original features in the property have been restored to their original glory, including the mantelpieces and floorboards. On the first floor, there are two large double bedrooms, with sash windows and built-in wardrobes in the master bedroom. The Grangegorman Luas stop is a five-minute walk away.

On the ground floor, there’s a bright and spacious living room with a bay window, a window seat and a feature open fireplace. French doors lead to the dining room, while the kitchen and everyday dining area is separate. Three of the four bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes. No 12 is conveniently located close to multiple schools and sports clubs.
Raheen, Dublin 24 – €500,000
