In terms of location, one couldn’t get much closer to the village of Glasthule in Co Dublin than at 4 Glenn Terrace.
The 133sq m property lies just next door to Carluccio’s restaurant and is less than a minute’s walk to the Dart station.
The semi-detached house has been staged for sale by House and Garden Presentation Services (HGPS) and, now in turnkey condition, is on the market through agent DNG with an asking price of €775,000.

Though wonderfully decorated – with pale grey and turquoise palettes, engineered oak flooring, a new kitchen and bathrooms – new owners will want to address the BER rating of F.
Some investment is needed in the form of insulation and new windows to bring the property up to a more energy efficient rating.
Inside the south-facing hallway lies a bright living room – heated by a tiny fireplace.
Though small in space, this area is compensated by a large open-plan living-dining extension to the rear, which opens out on to the back garden through two sets of French windows.
Sea views
Upstairs are three fine-sized double bedrooms, with the two to the rear having sea views. The master, complete with a working fireplace, takes up the entire width of the property and is bright thanks to its southerly orientation.
One of the selling points of the 1920s house is the extensive outdoor space. Currently laid out as patio and deck and car park, the area to the side of the house is vast compared to neighbouring gardens.
However, a main drain lies beneath the ground, so planning to extend to the side of the property is not an option – and planning permission has been refused in the past on these grounds.
But, an option would be to erect a further storey on the current single extension or to install a garden room should new owners need more floor space.
Alternatively, the area would make a very fine garden in the heart of Glasthule village.
