Saturday viewings are back: here’s a selection for this weekend
A REFURBISHEDvilla-style house at 85 Heytesbury Street, close to the city centre, has just come on the books at Sherry Fitz-Gerald and will be on view on Saturday between 1pm and 2pm.
Though Heytesbury is a busy street there has usually been good interest in its terraced houses, many of which have been refurbished in recent years. This two-bedroom townhouse is priced at just over €1 million. It’s a two-storey house with both bedrooms leading off the traditional entrance hall upstairs. Both rooms share a large bathroom. Downstairs, at garden level, there’s a large open-plan kitchen/breakfastroom and a separate livingroom that opens into a conservatory which is in a small walled garden.
THE MOVE TOa new job in the UK has prompted the owner of a striking two-bedroom house at 2 Lower Albert Road in Sandycove to drop his price from €2.25 million to €1.95 million. "At this level, considering the level of fit-out and work carried out to the property, it represents great value for money," says selling agent Owen Reilly who will show the property on Saturday between 3pm and 4pm.
The Tardis-like house has had a money-no-object makeover that includes a superb contemporary glass box extension. There are boy toys galore – from flat screens in every room to a fully kitted out gym, an expensive kitchen and mood lighting in an interior that includes a superb kitchen and luxurious bathrooms.
Rounding it off are landscaped gardens front and back, enhanced by sophisticated lighting.
Meanwhile close byin Dalkey, two newly built houses at Saval Park Gardens will be on open view between noon and 1pm. Called Deanwater and Woodford, the pair of semi-detached houses are near identical in design with around 167sq ft (1,800sq ft) of living space (one is slightly larger) and a wealth of expensive features, including top-of-the-range Bulthaup kitchens.
The houses first came on the market last year priced at €1.8 million each, but the prices have now dropped substantially to €1.25 million, with the larger house priced at €1.3 million.
FROM NOONto 1pm on Saturday there's a chance to walk through a genuine "fixer-upper" – a redbrick house on fashionable St Mary's Road in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 with a 36.3-metre (120ft) garden and lane access.
For sale at €2.6 million through Knight Frank, the six-bedroom house is larger than it looks, measuring 232sq m (2,497sq ft).
In Castleknock, a detached house in the Georgian Village has just come on the books at Lisney. Number 103, a spacious five-bedroom home with sheltered 100ft back garden, is on view for the first time on Saturday, 2pm-3.30pm.
