Step Inside This Charming Dublin City Gem Eligible for €50k Refurb Grant
Located in Dublin City Centre and being built over 100 years ago, 194 Owen's Avenue can be best described as a diamond in the rough. But the two-bed mid-terraced home is already in fairly good nick — and with it being eligible for the vacant property refurbishment grant, you can easily restore it to its former glory. Located in Ceannt Fort, which was built by the Dublin Corporation in the early 1920s as part of a major housing drive to rehouse people from the tenements, the area is named after Easter Rising leader Éamonn Ceannt, with Owen's Avenue being named after Seán Owens, one of the first casualties in the Rising. Pic: Auctioneera Heading inside, you're greeted by the lovely array of original features that are in good condition for a home eligible for the vacant property refurbishment grant. Pic: Auctioneera The hallway's wood floors extend throughout the ground floor, with the living room boasting its original feature fireplace that's a focal point of the home that's complimented by large windows for plenty of natural light. Pic: Auctioneera The kitchen and dining area is thoughtfully laid out, being adjacent to the living area with a private patio allowing for al fresco dining and relaxation outside, as well as plenty of natural light inside. Pic: Auctioneera Heading up the stairs are the home's two bedrooms, each of which boast stunning natural light, original internal doors and a continuation of the wood flooring that's been a feature throughout the home. While the bedrooms will need the most work out of the home, you could truly turn it into something special with some TLC. Pic: Auctioneera As for location, the home's perfectly situated — being a stone's throw from diverse local amenities ranging from schools, parks and historical landmarks including Kilmainham Gaol, while a nearby LUAS stop allows for ease of access to Dublin City Centre and surrounding areas. Pic: Auctioneera 194 Owen's Avenue, Ceann Fort, Kilmainham, Dublin 8 is available via Auctioneera, with an asking price of €425,000.

Could this be Dublin's smallest house? It's up for grabs for €275,000
When it comes to the Dublin housing market, the phrase 'it can always be worse' somehow outdoes itself every few months. Enter 24 Daniel Street, in Dublin 8, which costs €275,000 — and while for the market that we're currently in this may be seen as a bit of a bargain, the home stands at 37 square metres; meaning that it would cost approximately €7,432 per square metre. The property, which is located in The Coombe, consists of a living space, kitchen, and bedroom that is en-suite… and that's it. Pic: Auctioneera The living area has a feature fireplace, shelving units, and leads into the kitchen which has cabinetry and counter space. A compact utility space completes this area. Pic: Auctioneera The bedroom is admittedly somewhat spacious given the space of the house itself, with an en-suite bathroom and a 'snug' patio completing the home. There are some perks to this home; mainly the location, which has a number of bus stops and LUAS stops within walking distance. Pic: Auctioneera The home also benefits from being eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, which… you'll probably need. 'This is a charming property with huge potential,' Helen O'Keeffe, Director at Auctioneera, said. The home's one and only bedroom, leading into the bathroom and a patio. Pic: Auctioneera 'Its central location means residents are within walking distance of all that Dublin 8 and the city centre have to offer. 'The fact that it qualifies for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant — along with the availability of resident parking permits — makes it an attractive option for buyers looking to create a bespoke city home.' Pic: Auctioneera 24 Daniel Street, Off Clanbrassil Street, The Coombe, Dublin 8, is available via Auctioneera, with an asking price of €275,000.

Fancy owning a regal Cork property that is reputed to have once slept King James II?
Carrigacunna Castle is a breathtakingly-restored Georgian abode set alongside a beautifully-preserved Norman-style tower house, both commanding a spectacular position overlooking the meandering River Blackwater in North Cork, and once reportedly hosted King James II. The Castle is situated just off the L1224 road, between Killavullen and Ballyhooly, right in the heart of the Blackwater valley and only a few minutes down the road from nearby Mallow. It had previously been put up for sale in 2024 under online auctioneer 'Auctioneera' at €2.7 million, but has now been placed back on the market at a slightly cheaper asking price. This property, part of which was originally built by Henry Foott in 1826, boasts an unrivalled elevated position, offering panoramic views of the Blackwater Valley, extending toward the Ballyhoura and Galtee mountains. The house comes with 7,500 square feet of space, the historic Norman tower house next door, as well as an indoor swimming pool. However, with a €2.5 million price tag, only a royal bank account will be able to afford this magnificent old building. One of the estate's most remarkable features is its tower house castle, a superbly preserved 16th-century structure built by the Nagle family. This Anglo-Irish stronghold stands as a testament to the area's medieval history. Sir Richard Nagle of Clogher, a key figure in the Irish Parliament of 1689, was among the prominent members of the family. The castle which has been fully restored, offers a rare glimpse into Ireland's feudal past and provides a stunning contrast to the modern elements of the estate. The Nagle family have a Norman lineage that established a stronghold in the area. Among the most notable figures in the family was Sir Richard Nagle, who served as private secretary to King James II. Following the Jacobite defeat at the Battle of the Boyne in 1692, Sir Richard Nagle forfeited the estate. According to legend, King James II spent a night at Carrigacunna during his retreat. In the 19th century, the Footts undertook extensive enhancements to the estate. The Georgian residence was expanded to include a three-bay extension, and the grounds were landscaped to incorporate a grand 1 km-long beech-lined avenue, rising parallel to the river and leading to the main house. Over the past two decades, Carrigacunna has undergone an exceptional transformation, blending historical elements with striking contemporary design. The property also features two double-height glazed atriums, seamlessly linking the traditional architecture with modern elements. The residence includes four main reception rooms and three luxurious bedroom suites. Additionally, the first-floor offices could easily be converted into extra bedroom accommodation if required. There is also a one-bedroom annex located in the Fisherman's cottage adjoining the main house which would be ideal for guests. A notable feature is the indoor swimming pool, which Estate Agents Lisney Sotheby's says, 'adds an element of leisure and sophistication'. Meanwhile, the estate itself spans approximately 18.2 hectares (45 acres), with 5 acres dedicated to pasture, 37 acres of woodland, and the remaining 3 acres comprising gardens and amenity spaces. On the estate is a walled garden spanning approximately one acre. Within this enclosed space lies a refurbished Victorian glasshouse, alongside carefully cultivated vegetable, flower, and rose gardens. An orchard and soft fruit areas provide seasonal produce, while a chicken run and potting shed enhance the estate's self-sufficiency. Lisney Sotheby's says that Carrigacunna is not only a 'remarkable private residence' but also a 'historic landmark that has been thoughtfully restored to honour its past while embracing modern luxury. 'With its commanding views, extraordinary architecture, and extensive lands, this property represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ireland's rich heritage in one of the country's most picturesque and desirable locations' says Lisney Sotheby's. In 2019, the site sold for €1.485 million, but since the restoration the property is now on the market at a whopping €2.5 million, making it the fifth most expensive property for public sale in Cork at the moment.
