Architects' reimagined Drumcondra three-bed for €595,000
Address : 6 Ferguson Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 9 Price : €595,000 Agent : Sherry FitzGerald View this property on Dublin Corporation built 600 houses in Drumcondra in 1928 that are set out in a triangular shape between Homefarm Road and Drumcondra Road. The Dublin 9 estate has Ferguson Road on one side and Walsh Road running parallel with connecting roads and keyholes between them. Nearly a century later, most of these homes are privately owned and have been renovated, extended and upgraded. The area is popular with young families as the village is within walking distance, as are a number of schools and creches. There is also the bonus of Griffith Park, a 19-acre public park that runs along the Tolka river, being the backdrop to this part of Drumcondra. Number 6 Ferguson Road, which is directly across from the entrance of the park, has come on to the market with an asking price of €595,000 through Sherry FitzGerald. The current owners bought the three-bedroom, end-terrace property in 2012. READ MORE 'The house had good vibes from the first day we saw it and a real sense of character,' they recall. 'Despite not being lived in for a little while, it had a nice atmosphere and great aspect. Amid all the beauty board and layers of paint, a not-too-old plush carpet and pair of full-height curtains downstairs were signs of a well-loved family home. We kept the material from the curtains and had them remade for our front picture window.' Front garden Livingroom Diningroom Kitchen Garden The fact that the couple are both architects helped when it came to seeing the potential of a home where the overgrown gardens in the front and back made it feel dark and small. 'We undertook quite a lot of work, investing in bigger moves like quality windows, doors, and opening up the ground floor to optimise the views to the park opposite and the connections to outside. The house was fully rewired, replumbed and generally updated at that time too. Over the years since we have gradually done more work – the front garden for example was really a Covid project,' one of the owners says. Now with a floor area of 83sq m (893sq ft) and a C1 energy rating, the house is on the market through Sherry Fitzgerald with a guide price of €595,000. The front garden has been transformed with new paving up to the door and numerous plants and trees dotted through the stones. The living space on the ground floor is open plan with a sittingroom at the front that leads into the diningroom, both with dark wooden flooring. There are double doors from here out to the garden and the kitchen area to the right has a full-length corner window and a rooflight overhead creating a lovely bright living space. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The off-street parking at the front of the property is a nice thing to have on this busy road. There is also a secure storage unit that can be accessed from the front of the house that is plumbed and has space for bikes and bins. The rear garden is west-facing and has a patio area and a lawn with artificial grass and bountiful borders. The owners, who aren't going far, will miss the strong sense of community on 'the triangle', as well as their light-filled Dublin 9 home. 'We love the aspect and light, the visual connection that we have through the house linking the front and back gardens and park beyond is special. Even on the darkest of winter days the daylight is great.'

20 best coastal properties to buy in Ireland now
For anyone dreaming of an idyllic holiday home with the sea on their doorstep, to facilitate a summer of swimming, sailing, surfing, lying on the beach and coastal walks, the best properties also provide a glimpse of the shimmering blue water. These come at a price and they're in demand — from Irish and international buyers. John Daly of Sherry FitzGerald Daly Kenmare points to a strong interest from American buyers that he says wasn't there 12 months ago. 'This is happening in all the Sherry Fitz offices up along the west coast,' he says. 'A huge number of Americans are coming in looking at holiday home-type properties or even full-time homes in nice locations.' • Revealed: 100 Great Places to Stay in Ireland for 2025 Maeve McCarthy of Charles McCarthy Estate Agents in Skibbereen, also notes high demand from Irish buyers, including those living overseas who want a base here. 'They want a foothold in Ireland, but not necessarily where they're from originally,' she says. Top of the list of priorities for these buyers are typically location and views, as well as a high level of finish. 'People are looking for good-quality, turnkey houses,' McCarthy says. 'They want the same standard of finish as they have in their home, or maybe a little bit down from that. If it needs a bit of work they're more reticent. They also want something that is low-maintenance to run.' We've picked out twenty coastal properties around the country that should tick plenty of boxes for even the most discerning buyers. On the outskirts of Carlingford village in Co Louth, Seascape is a stunning four-bedroom bungalow set on a 0.8 acre site overlooking the lough and the Mourne Mountains. Built in 2008, it has a B2 energy rating, 192 sq m of living space and a luxury finish throughout. Nowhere more so than in the Parkes Interiors-designed bespoke kitchen, which has quartzite worktops and backsplashes, a hidden breakfast station, and high-end appliances including a Bora induction hob and Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer and dishwasher drawers. Inside, the best of the views are from the double-height kitchen/family room, the living room and the dual-aspect main bedroom. Outside, a large composite deck with integrated lighting is the perfect place to drink in the surroundings — and whatever else takes your fancy. Agent Set into a slope, this split-level house in Kinnalargy, near Downings in Co Donegal, has been upgraded in recent years to make the most of the light and the spectacular coastal backdrop. On the upper level, the L-shaped kitchen/dining/living room has distinctive timber panelling on the ceiling, with three floor-to-ceiling windows framing the bay on one side, plus sliding doors to an all-glass solarium and rooftop terrace on another. Three of the four bedrooms — there are two upstairs and two downstairs — also face the water. Other features include porthole windows in the utility, a concrete staircase, landscaped gardens and a separate, two-storey recreational building. Agent The decor at Bunker Lodge in Co Clare reflects the three-bedroom property's near-seaside location — the house is about 2km from both Doonbeg village and White Strand, a sandy blue flag beach. The property's showstopper is its triple-aspect first-floor living room, which has a white-painted timber-vaulted ceiling, wall panelling, a built-in window seat and glazed double doors with views of the sea, access to a deck with a fireplace and an external staircase to ground level. In addition to the 200 sq m, B3-energy rated house, there's a separate chalet with three rooms, including a wet room with double shower. The house is listed on Airbnb with a rental price of €950 a night during the summer months. Agent The Old School House in Collorus, Co Kerry, has views across Ardgroom Harbour and Kenmare Bay as well as calm and elegant interiors, luxury bathrooms, a bespoke kitchen with premium appliances and a hidden wine and cocktail bar. Run as a school for 99 years, the property was converted into a holiday home in 1967 and fully renovated last year by its current owners. The accommodation includes an entrance hall with white oak stairs, kitchen/living/dining room with two 2.8m sliding glass doors facing the views, three bedrooms, including one at ground level, a utility room, an office and three bathrooms. There's plenty more outside with nine acres of land that includes seating areas, mountain streams, a waterfall and a small lake, plus a garage. And, as far as turnkey goes, this one completely knocks it out of the park — all the contents are included in the sale. Agent On the other side of Kenmare Bay and just a few hundred metres from the N70, aka the Ring of Kerry, this detached home in Coad is within easy striking distance of the Iveragh peninsula's many outdoor activities and scenic spots. It's a short drive from Castlecove and Caherdaniel on either side and just 1.5km from Westcove Pier. The 250 sq m house has a large, triple-aspect and open-plan kitchen/living/dining room with huge picture windows and French doors delivering fabulous water and countryside views, plus access to a gravelled outdoor space where there's lots more of the same. The rest of the accommodation includes five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a utility room. An additional detached building comprises two large spaces that are separated by a drive-through arch and currently used as games and storage rooms. Agent Between Cleggan and Letterfrack in Connemara and about a ten-minute walk from Ross Beach, Inish Reach is a charmingly refurbished and extended stone cottage with panoramic sea and mountain views. The sitting room, which has partly exposed stone walls and a solid fuel stove, accounts for the lion's share of the original cottage and, like most of the rooms, has vaulted ceilings. The other main living spaces — sunroom and gorgeous triple-aspect kitchen/dining room with exposed beams — have huge windows facing out to the views at their gable ends. The 160 sq m house has three bedrooms, all with en suites, a guest WC and a utility room. Agent Spectacular and rugged countryside and coastline surround this sandstone brick-clad contemporary bungalow, which sits on an elevated 1.1 acre site on Crohy Head, Co Donegal, and was built on the site of a derelict cottage. Size wise, it's relatively modest for a new-build, with just over 140 sq m of living accommodation, but it is full of high-end features, including underfloor heating. It has three bedrooms, one with an en suite and walk-in wardrobe, and a family bathroom. The main living space is open-plan and includes a streamlined kitchen and a sitting room with a vaulted ceiling and glazing on four sides, including floor-to-ceiling windows pointing towards the views and the sunsets. The property is close to numerous beaches and is less than 10km from Dungloe. Agent At the foot of Croagh Patrick and within walking distance of lovely Bertra beach in Co Mayo, this single-storey property in Gloshpatrick was built in 2009 and renovated to a high standard in 2023. Some of the upgrades included underfloor heating and insulation, an air-to-water system, and new windows and doors. The 265 sq m house has four double bedrooms, each with an en suite, along with a guest WC and a utility room. Its kitchen/living/dining room has a wood-burning stove, huge picture windows and gorgeous Croagh Patrick vistas. The eye-catching Next 125 kitchen in anthracite and saffron is the star of the show and includes a double larder cupboard, an island unit with induction hob and a range of Kitchen Aid appliances. The house is on an acre of land with patio, lawn and a tarmac driveway, along with an 89 sq m garage with its own underfloor heating and a separate air-to-water heat pump. Agent On an elevated site overlooking the ocean and Sherkin and Cape Clear islands in west Cork, Laguna on Cove Hill offers the best of both worlds — glorious views and easy access to popular and buzzy Baltimore village. Built in the late 1970s, the house has been extended and upgraded over the years and now offers 278 sq m of B2 energy-rated space. The kitchen, dining area and living room face the stunning seascape and open to a lovely terrace. The dual-aspect main bedroom suite, which has a vaulted ceiling, reading nook/dressing room and en suite bathroom, has the sea views on one side and French doors to the garden on the other. Also on the ground floor are another sitting room, two more bedrooms and family bathroom. A fourth bedroom and a WC are upstairs. The 0.7 acre property has landscaped gardens, a boat shed and a garden room. Agent The main living spaces at Stella Maris are in a single-storey block at the back of this 335 sq m home in Myrtleville and connect via huge sliding doors to a patio, the garden and sea views beyond. In this space are the kitchen/dining area — packed with Siemens appliances including a bean-to-cup coffee machine — and an adjoining triple-aspect living room, plus a lounge that's currently used as a gym. There's another sitting room, three bedrooms, bathrooms and a utility at this level. Upstairs, the main bedroom suite and an office benefit from the views and a roof terrace. Agent Built in the late 1800s, the Links in Rosses Point, Co Sligo and its semi-detached next-door neighbour operated as a hotel before being converted into a single home and, in the 1990s, divided in two. It now has 150 sq m of accommodation — including four bedrooms — set out over four floors. The main living spaces — a reception room with reclaimed wood flooring, solid fuel stove and a bay window facing out towards the water, Oyster Island and Coney Island, and a kitchen/dining room with a cast iron fireplace — are on the ground floor. A basement, with direct access to a front courtyard, is used as a utility space and for storage. The house is next to the Yeats Country Hotel and the County Sligo Golf Club, and is close to shops, cafés and bars. The centre of Sligo is about 7.5km away. Agent Spectacular views of Cork Harbour are among the selling points at No 4 Lighthouse Terrace on Roches Point, which was built about 200 years ago and used as a post office and telegraph station before being converted into a home. Its four bedrooms include one with a vaulted ceiling, exposed rafters and a bay window with a built-in seat facing the harbour. Also upstairs are a family bathroom and a dramatic glass-floored walkway. Downstairs are a living room with another bay window and French doors to a courtyard, a smart kitchen, a utility room and a guest WC. The property's main outside space is across the road at the front on the water side and includes a patio and a decked area. Agent A former boys' school, the School House on Corbally Road in Kilkee has been restored and converted into a lovely — and quite quirky — home. In a recent project, a conservatory was added with windows on either side that links the main house to the original master's cabin, now a self-contained guest wing with bedroom and en suite, sitting/dining room and kitchenette. The rest of the accommodation includes a kitchen, living room and four more bedrooms. The house is on about an acre of land that's surrounded by stone walls and includes Liscannor stone patios and elevated gardens at the back that provide views of the countryside and down to the sea, which is a couple of fields away. Agent Built in the 1980s and extended in 1994, this detached home in Toe Head near Castletownshend stands out for several reasons, not least its 10m heated indoor swimming pool. The house spans 404 sq m, including the pool area. Four bedrooms are on the ground floor and the kitchen/living/dining room with fabulous views of the countryside is upstairs. Also at this level is a self-contained studio with a small kitchen and a fold-down wall bed, plus a bathroom and access to a terrace and exterior steps. Internally, the house has a lift as well as two staircases. It's on half an acre that includes patios and lawn, plus a kitchen garden with raised beds set in the ruins of a pre-famine cottage. Agent The clue is in the name at Dune Watch in Co Louth, a three-bedroom bungalow on a 0.3 acre site that's right next to Seapoint beach. The most dramatic space in this 172 sq m house, which is 2km from Termonfeckin, is the sitting room, which has timber-panelled, vaulted ceiling, a stove, corner windows facing the beach and glazed doors to a deck. The kitchen also has a corner of glazing and access to the deck. The house has another reception room and three bedrooms, along with two en suites, a bathroom and a utility room. Agent Carraig Aenain on Cliff Road offers up the heady mixture of full-on, close-up sea views and proximity to a range of amenities — it shouldn't take much more than five minutes to walk to Ardmore's Main Street or the beach in one direction, while the Cliff House Hotel is the other way and even closer. This 102 sq m semi-detached cottage has been fully refurbished in recent years right down to a new roof and windows. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and an L-shaped kitchen/dining room with a rooflight and French doors to the outdoor space at the side. The living room is at the front and has a solid-fuel stove and cute half-opening stable doors facing on to Ardmore Bay. Agent A large conservatory with three sets of doors opening a raised terrace is probably the best spot at Heywood from which to enjoy the up-close-and-personal views across Galway Bay, the north Clare coastline and the Aran Islands. On Pier Road in Barna, this is a giant of a house with 717 sq m of living space. Apart from the conservatory, notable features include a self-contained one-bedroom guest unit with its own entrance, a sauna, detached garage with an office/gym, a cobble-lock driveway lined with shrubbery and beautiful, mature gardens at the back. Agent Properties don't come too much closer to the sea than at the Boat House on Coast Road in Blackrock, Co Louth. The 258 sq m house, which was built in the 1990s and looks on to Dundalk Bay and the Cooley Mountains, is set on 0.6 acres of land with direct access to the beach. The house has four bedrooms, various reception rooms and a lovely, tiled conservatory. One of its most special features is its 85 sq m boathouse, which operated as Blackrock's lifeboat station for several years until 1935. Agent No 4 Cliff Manor is the middle unit in a terrace of seven homes built on the site of a former hotel and in a most spectacular location on the southern slopes of Bray Head looking out towards the Irish Sea and down along the Wicklow coastline. Downstairs, the living space is pretty open-plan and has large windows on two sides facing on to a front terrace. Upstairs, the three bedrooms include a main suite with the most fabulous sea views, as well as access to a private balcony. Cliff Manor residents have exclusive access to seven acres of private gardens; No 4 also has its own private outdoor space at the back. Agent Firmly in wildcard territory as an option for a holiday home is Connemara Isles, a 56-acre property on Annaghavane Island in Co Galway comprising — among other things — a nine-hole golf course, its own natural harbour, an 1850s-built thatched house and a small island that's linked by a causeway bridge. The thatched house is now used as a bar within the 344 sq m clubhouse, which also has a function room, catering kitchen and changing rooms and could potentially be converted into a private home surrounded by the most ridiculously beautiful scenery.

Look inside: Showstopper home with indoor pool and recording studio in Rathmines for €3.75m
Address : Solas, 3B Greenwich Court, Rathmines, Dublin 6 Price : €3,750,000 Agent : Sherry FitzGerald If you're looking for a high-end home in the sought-after area of Rathmines , you might have some requirements in mind, such as a spacious open-plan living space, an en suite main bedroom and ample parking. If you also happen to have a 14m heated indoor swimming pool with sauna, steam room and gym; a soundproofed recording studio; and no less than six private outdoor terraces on your wishlist, Solas at 3B Greenwhich Court may be the showstopper home for you. Solas is a deceptively large and luxurious home discreetly hidden away in a small courtyard just off Swanville Place in Rathmines, one of three adjoining properties – 3A, 3B and 3C Greenwich Court – designed by award-winning architects Coda. Number 3B is the largest of the three properties, and it's been named Solas (Irish for light) – with good reason, as you'll soon find out. Standing outside its exterior, with its white concrete walls, glass atrium and industrial-style metal slats, you'd imagine perhaps a modest-sized luxury pied-à-terre in this busy district just a short distance from Dublin's city centre. Hallway Living area Kitchen Dining area Sun terrace You certainly aren't prepared for what greets you inside: a spacious, ultra-contemporary four-bedroom home laid out over four floors, with its own private lift to whisk you to each floor. The bedrooms and main bathroom are all on the ground floor – and you'll see why when you reach the first floor, a wonderful, light-filled living space comprising beautifully designed kitchen, diningroom and livingroom with wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling glass and sliding patio doors leading out to a large, sun-drenched private terrace. Sliding patio doors also lead from the dining area to another private terrace on the other end. The architects have maximised the light opportunities here to ensure this entire floor area is always bright and lively. READ MORE Go up to the second floor and its even brighter as you enter a large livingroom with wall-to-wall glass on three sides, and two sliding patio doors leading out to a wraparound terrace screened by privacy glass and with rooftop views over Rathmines (you can see the 'four-faced liar' from here – the Rathmines Church tower whose clock faces tell wildly varying times). The house extends to a jaw-dropping 446sq m (4,800sq ft), with the ground, first and second floors comprising 210sq m (2,260sq ft) and lower ground floor extending to 236sq m (2,540sq ft) of relaxation, wellness and entertainment space, comprising a 14m heated swimming pool, poolside lounge area, gym, sauna, steam room, shower area and kitchenette, plus a recording studio/multimedia entertainment space, completely soundproofed and encased in concrete to eliminate vibration. You'll need to bring in the recording equipment and mixing desk if you want to make your next album, but there is a sound system installed, plus a projector and screen for home cinema fun. Solas, 3B Greenwich Court, Rathmines, Dublin 6 has an A2 Ber and is on the market through Sherry FitzGerald, seeking €3.75 million. The entrance hall gives you a flavour of the luxury design within, with walnut flooring and recessed lighting. Stairs are laid in oak, and the lift is discreetly located behind slatted timber. Bedroom four looks out to the front courtyard, with floor-to-ceiling part-opaque windows offering both light and privacy; this would be a perfect home office. To the left and right of the hallway are bedrooms two and three, each a double, with walnut flooring and wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes, and each one has a glass door leading out to a small inner courtyard. The main bedroom suite is large and bright, with walnut floor, wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes and a vanity unit with backlit mirror. This bedroom shares a courtyard with bedroom three. Swimming pool Swimming pool Gym Recording studio/entertainment room The kitchen is fitted with Bulthaup wall and floor units, and an island with Gaggenau ceramic induction hob and Bulthaup extractor. There's an AEG fridge with separate freezer, plus Miele combi steam oven and conventional oven. There's also a raised breakfast counter. The large sun terrace on this floor looks down over the two ground floor inner courtyards, and is designed for al fresco entertaining, with paved patio, feature wall lights and glazed balustrades. It's not often you'll look in the basement for a show-stopper, but when you step out of the lift into the wellness and entertainment floor, you'll feel you've stumbled into a luxurious magic grotto. The 14m infinity pool is illuminated by dramatic mood lighting in soft colours. It's surrounded by Italian porcelain tiled floors and part-tiled walls, and there's a handy kitchenette for preparing poolside refreshments, plus a sauna and steam room. A home gym with beech flooring has a mirrored wall and a glazed wall looking over the pool area. After a relaxing time by the pool, your guests can repair to the entertainment room to watch a movie. Solas is within a few metres of the bustle of Rathmines Road Lower and just a short distance from Ranelagh, Portobello and the city centre.

Contemporary Bray four-bed adjacent to Killruddery Demesne for €1.45m
Address : Iona House, Giltspur Lane, Bray, Co Wicklow Price : €1,450,000 Agent : Sherry FitzGerald View this property on With the backdrop of both mountains and the sea, coupled with a buzzing Victorian promenade, the seaside town of Bray in Co Wicklow provides all manner of activities, with everything from golf and sailing to tennis, fishing and horse riding. The town, popular with commuters due to its proximity to Dublin, has stunning coastal walks and a strong sense of local community. Wicklow's northernmost town figured as one of Time Out magazine's most under-rated tourist destinations in 2023 and 2024. It has been described as Ireland's Brighton, and has its own jazz festival, renowned air display and, for cultural outings, the Mermaid Arts Centre hosts a packed programme of annual events. House prices in Bray are generally lower than in south Co Dublin, making the seaside town an attractive alternative for those who may be priced out of more expensive Dublin suburbs. Sherry FitzGerald has recently launched Iona House to the market, which lies in a private lane, adjacent to the 800-acre estate of Killruddery Demesne, about 2.5km from Bray town centre. READ MORE Do not be fooled by external images of this A1-rated house. Though it may look like a conservatively sized contemporary home, it extends to a considerable 303sq m (3,261sq ft). Hall Kitchen A well appointed pantry serves the streamlined kitchen Living space off the kitchen Formal livingroom The property was designed by architect Anthony Murphy for its construction company owner, who wanted 'a bright, airy home with lots of family space'. Constrained by planning 'to keep within the ridge height on the lane' Murphy added a mono-pitched roof, and 'he'd go to the site in the evenings to see exactly where the evening sun was setting', according to its owner. It is built into a hill, and is quite the achievement given the constraints of the site. The design saw bedrooms placed at the lower level to ensure reception rooms got the bulk of the light. A partially glazed floor in the front hallway brings light into the downstairs areas, and numerous well-thought-out terraces add to its overall design. In contrast to the Victorian origins of its location, modern elements such as an air-to-water heat pump, triple-glazed windows and lots of insulation give this property the highest energy rating possible. The house is at the end of a private lane, inside a neat gravelled driveway with ample off-street parking and an electric charging point. The triple-aspect kitchen shares its space with a dining and living area and has a large island and customised cabinetry – echoed in the utility – and features Quooker taps, a wine cooler and a large freezer. A second, more formal livingroom lies off the hallway, as does a loo, a smart bootroom and a room currently used as a study that would also work as a fifth bedroom. Concrete flooring separates living and sleeping spaces, so there's no creaking or squeaking. Underfloor heating runs throughout, keeping the house at a constant ambient temperature. But it will be the main bedroom that will make new owners swoon. Laid out as a suite, along with the bedroom, en suite and swanky walk-in wardrobe, it occupies some 60sq m. Adding to this is a steam room/shower, which has seating and an illuminated curved roof – so drips don't fall on your head – while using the steam facility. From a terrace off this bedroom there's a sauna and hot tub, used frequently by owners, whatever the weather. Main bedroom Dressing room Shower/steam room in the main bedroom en-suite A sauna lies on a terrace off the main bedroom The property has a number of terraces Customised cabinetry, Villeroy & Boch bathrooms, a home gym and landscaped terraces with glass balustrades – laid out for specific uses at different times of the day – are just some of the outstanding features in the property. It is also geared towards entertaining, and the house has hosted parties for upwards of 40 guests. Owners had the intention of spending more time at their home, which was completed in 2022, but are moving for family reasons. They have placed their walk-in, well-designed home on the market through Sherry FitzGerald, seeking €1.45 million.
