Substantial five-bed Edwardian ripe for modernisation in Dartry for €2.2m
Address : 50 St Kevin's Park, Dartry, Dublin 6 Price : €2,200,000 Agent : Mullery O'Gara View this property on St Kevin's Park is Dublin 6 is a quiet cul-de-sac of redbricks located off Dartry Road. The sales on this road tend to come up after a family has spent many decades living here, as is the case for number 50. After 55 years, it is on the market and ripe for modernisation. With the original footprint, there are no badly-thought-out extensions or lean-tos built on to the back of this semidetached Edwardian home. The floor area of 200sq m (2153 sq ft) is already generous, but if new owners wished to add to it, the sizeable garden could accommodate it, subject to planning permission. Number 50, which is on the market with an asking price of €2.2 million through agents Mullery O'Gara, provides the perfect blank canvas for a home that could house a family for another half century. The handsome bay-windowed house has a neat front garden and a garage to the side. The period features have all been retained inside.

Double doors separate the two rooms with the drawingroom at the front benefiting from the light coming in through the bay windows, and the diningroom has French doors to the back garden. There are steps down to the kitchen, which is charming and old-world, but will probably require the most work when it comes to modernising the house. It would, however, function for a time if new owners decided to live in the house to get a feel for it before they began any work. There is a door out to a quarry-tiled utility and pantry. On the first-floor return is a bedroom with cast-iron fireplace, as well as a bathroom with an electric shower and a separate WC. There are three more bedrooms on the next level, two of which have the original cast-iron fireplaces. Main bedroom Patio Rear garden The staircase follows up to attic level, where there are two more rooms. One is set out as a bedroom and the other is a study. Potential upgrades will probably involve addressing the F Ber rating, which will no doubt come down to upgrading the heating system and installing new windows. At more than 125ft long, the garden is wonderfully private and mature. The long lawn is bordered by plants, trees and hedging. There is a cute summer house nestled in the centre of the greenery, as well as a boiler house and outside tap. The location will be a big draw for families looking to be close to schools. Within walking distance of St Kevin's Park are Alexandra and the High School, as well as Gonzaga and Muckross for those who don't mind a longer walk. Milltown golf club is a short stroll away with Box'd Coffee and the Dropping Well pub along the way for refreshments.

Semidetached Rathfarnham four-bed overlooking the Dodder for €950,000
Address : 56 Dodder Road Lower, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14 Price : €950,000 Agent : Mullery O'Gara View this property on Dodder Road Lower, beside the gentle murmur of the Dodder river, was developed between the 1930s and 1970s. Number 56, which has just been launched to the market, was constructed in about 1956 along with three identical semidetached neighbours. Its location is becoming a sought-after spot due to recent improvements in the area: The newly developed Dodder greenway passes along the road and restrictions to through-traffic have resulted in a much lower volume of traffic. The stretch of the river that number 56 faces, especially near the weir, is one of the most popular spots for wildlife photographers in Dublin. Regular visitors include otters, herons, badgers and foxes, and this run of water is also a hotspot for the elusive kingfisher, which for many is the star attraction along the leafy banks. But with 13 other bird species in the area, according to Birdwatching Ireland's website, any day of the year a stroll here is sure to be interesting in terms of wildlife. The linear park along the river has more than 100 hectares of green spaces, with trails, parks and sports fields, and the greenway here is destined to become Dublin's next signature amenity with its continuous 17km route beginning in the Dublin Mountains and ending at St John Rogerson's Quay on the river Liffey. Hall A livingroom overlooks the front garden Family room in the open-plan space A patio leads on to a south-facing terrace Kitchen Dining space Number 56 appears on the Property Price Register as having last sold in 2018 for €600,000. Since then owners have extended and upgraded the home, which is a five-minute cycle from Templeogue and a short stroll from Rathfarnham and Rathgar. READ MORE Having a south-facing aspect, the semidetached house is light-filled and has a great sense of flow throughout its 101sq m (1,087sq ft). Off the hallway is a cosy livingroom that opens into a family room, which in turn leads into the kitchen/dining area, in a space created by a new extension. Both the livingroom (which can be closed off for privacy and peace) and family room have fires (an open fire and a stove, respectively) for warmth in the winter, while the large patio doors and overhead Velux window allow much passive heat to the kitchen and dining area thanks to the south-facing aspect. The property has four bedrooms A garden room lies to the rear A weir on the Dodder River is across the way from the house and is a great spot for birdlife Upstairs are three bedrooms: two fine doubles and a single, along with a family bathroom. When the extension was taking place, owners converted what was a garage into a fourth bedroom, which now lies opposite the livingroom in the hallway. [ Bavarian farmhouse transposed to lakeside spot in Co Leitrim, for €500,000 Opens in new window ] Outside is another selling point. There are the lovely Dodder walks across the road, and the rear garden has been landscaped with raised beds and a generous patio with a large garden studio that has a multitude of uses. Extending to 45ft in length, there's plenty of garden space for adults to dine and kids to play on summer evenings. Out front is parking for about three cars behind electric gates. The property, which has a Ber of C2, is on the market through Mullery O'Gara seeking €950,000.

End-terrace Victorian home in Rathmines with garden-level apartment for €2.25m
Address : 6 Belgrave Road, Rathmines, Dublin 6 Price : €2,250,000 Agent : Mullery O'Gara View this property on The configuration of number 6 Belgrave Road in Rathmines leaves it open to different living situations. The two-storey-over-basement redbrick has the main home set out over two floors and a garden apartment below, allowing for scenarios such as an independent living space for elderly relatives or young adults, or a rental for extra income. The main entrance to the Victorian end-terrace is up the flight of granite steps. Behind the framed front door is a generous hallway with black-and-white floor tiles. To the right are the two main reception rooms. The decor has been kept clean and simple to allow the original features such as cornicing, marble fireplaces and the shuttered sash windows to do the talking. Previous owners added a double extension at the back, which brings the total floor area of the house to 279sq m (3,000sq ft). Steps down from the hall lead to the kitchen, which is fitted with modern Shaker-style units. There is a balcony at the back and steps down to the south-facing garden. Upstairs the cornicing changes from the elegant and ornate mouldings in the livingrooms to an intricate modillion block design. There is a large bedroom on the hall return that comes with plumbing if new owners want to use this space to create a large family bathroom. READ MORE Hallway Drawingroom Diningroom Kitchen Main bedroom Bedroom On the first floor are three more double bedrooms, all lit up by beautiful sash windows. At the centre are two shower rooms back to back that mirror each other in design. The last bedroom in the main house, with an apex skylight for stargazers, is on the first-floor return. The apartment at basement level has its own entrance from the front garden. It has been completely converted to exist as a separate home with a large porch inside with storage and a coat stand, and double doors that lead into an inner hallway. At the front is a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. At the end of the hall is an open-plan room that has a fully fitted kitchen to one side and a livingroom with open fire on the other. Open-plan living space in garden apartment At the back, under a glazed roof, is the bright dining area. Doors from here open out to a private courtyard. Behind the kitchen is a second bedroom, also with doors out to the patio. There is a bathroom off the hall, as well as fitted storage units. Number 6, which is Ber exempt, is on the market through Mullery O'Gara, guiding €2.25 million. The road is within walking distance of both Ranelagh and Rathmines villages, but on a sunny weekday morning, it feels incredibly quiet, with the only sound coming from the Holy Trinity church bells at the end of the road. Recent sales on the road include number 18, which had a similar layout and sold for €1.95 million, and number 28, which didn't have the added floor space from an extension, which sold for €1.725 million, according to the Property Price Register.
