Dublim 8, Dublin 24 and Dublin 9 make the list, this week.
Three-bed, terrace, Dublin 8 – €550,000
Dating from 1915, this red-brick terrace on Rialto’s Church Avenue South pairs pretty period features with carefully considered upgrades. A two-storey bay window defines the façade, while original tulip stained glass, a working fireplace with green tiles and hardwood herringbone flooring bring character indoors. Interconnected living and dining rooms lead to an extended fitted kitchen, with French doors opening from the dining area onto a private west-facing courtyard. Gravel and raised timber decking create an inviting, low-maintenance outdoor space. A shower room completes the ground floor.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a third bedroom is currently a home office. Improved insulation and double glazing contribute to a C BER rating. Set on a quiet residential street, the 78 m² house is close to Rialto’s cafés, shops and Luas stop, with the Irish Museum of Modern Art and Royal Hospital Kilmainham grounds nearby.
Four-bed, semi-detached, Dublin 24 – €525,000
Set at the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, 55 Hunters Avenue is a four-bed semi-detached home offering 109 m² of accommodation across three floors. A bright, dual-aspect living room with a fireplace complements the upgraded Shaker-style kitchen and dining area, which opens onto the garden. A guest toilet incorporates a useful utility area. Upstairs are four double bedrooms with built-in storage, including a main bedroom with an en suite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom.
Outside, the private garden combines lawn, patio and mature planting, with a timber shed and gated side access. Off-street parking adds convenience. The B3-rated property comes with vacant possession and no onward chain. Schools, shops and parks are within easy reach, while the nearby M50 and 24-hour No. 15 bus service offer connections across Dublin.
Three-bed, semi-detached, Drumcondra – €500,000
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac off Collins Avenue, 36 Grace Park Meadows is a three-bed semi-detached home combining generous 101 m² of living space with a convenient Drumcondra address. Two separate reception rooms provide flexibility for family life, with a feature fireplace in the back room. The kitchen opens onto the garden, while a guest toilet sits beneath the stairs.

The enclosed lawn to the back includes a steel storage shed and pedestrian side access, while the front driveway offers ample off-street parking. Gas-fired central heating and a security alarm are additional features. A green and tennis court are close by, with schools, DCU, Beaumont Hospital and Drumcondra’s shops and restaurants within easy reach. Bus services connect to the city centre, while the M1, M50 and Port Tunnel provide routes further afield.
Two-bed, apartment, Drumcondra – €500,000
Sweeping views of Dublin city and the Wicklow Mountains set the scene at this two-bed penthouse in Rosemount Hall, a gated development just off Griffith Avenue in Drumcondra. In great condition, the 79 m² former show apartment pairs bright interiors with a private south-facing terrace. An open plan living and dining area connects to the kitchen, while two double bedrooms include a main bedroom with an en suite bathroom. A separate bathroom and generous hallway storage complete the accommodation.
High ceilings and wooden flooring enhance the sense of space, with lift access, gas-fired central heating and a designated parking space adding everyday convenience.
