Woodley Park: €950,000Smart new houses are popping up in side gardens all over Dublin and 44A Woodley Park, Goatstown, Dublin 14 is a prime example. The four-bedroom house is for auction by Felicity Fox on February 16th with an advised minimum value (AMV) of €950,000.
With these new builds, buyers like the idea of a new house but in a well-established area. They also get a break when it comes to stamp duty. This house has 174sq m (1,875sq ft) so buyers will pay stamp duty at the relevant rate on one-quarter of the purchase price.
The builder has just put the finishing touches and hasn't skimped on the details, from the double glazed windows and solid cherrywood interior doors, to the high end appliances in the kitchen and the central vacuuming system. The layout will suit a family. There's a formal livingroom with two large picture windows and cherrywood flooring on one side of the hall. On the other side, there are three interconnecting rooms, one a diningroom, the other a very bright family room and the third, the kitchen. It's easy to see that here's where a family would spend their time.
Two of the rooms are floored with cherrywood while the kitchen has Travertine marble. It is a smart well-planned space with granite topped cupboards on two walls and a central island. The appliances include a sophisticated double fridge with an inbuilt flat screen TV. There's also a utility room.
The house is dormer-style with four double bedrooms - none of which are particularly big although two have en suites. The family bathroom is very smart with a free-standing bath and marble flooring and surround.
Directly outside the family room is a timber deck and this leads down to a small garden. On the other side of the house there is off-street parking for three cars.
