This weekend sees the launch of two new housing developments by Maplewood Homes in the Lucan area of west Dublin - Mount Andrew and Liffey Valley Park which are across the road from each other at Ballyowen Lane.
The Mount Andrew development will have 180 two, three and four-bedroom townhouses and own-door apartments with the first phase of 44 completed for the launch. The remainder are due to be ready within 12 months. Liffey Valley Park will eventually have 154 townhouses with the first 16 of these ready for occupancy within the next six weeks.
Both developments are within walking distance of Ballyowen Shopping Centre and are close to the Liffey Valley Centre. Mount Andrew offers varying house styles and sizes, each of them representing good value in their own category. Particularly attractive as a starter home is the 750 sq ft two-bedroom, own-door apartment at £129,950 (€165,000). A spacious sittingroom leads through double-doors to the fitted kitchen which has ample dining space.
The two-bedroom, 712 sq ft townhouse is also competitively priced at £139,950 (€177,699).
Patio doors from the kitchen lead to a good-sized back garden. The 1,080 sq ft, three-bedroom end-of-terrace house at £159,950 (€203,094) has a low-maintenance, three-quarter brick front. Two of the three bedrooms have built in wardrobes. The 1,300 sq ft, four-bedroom semi-detached house at £184,000 (233,631) has a two-storey bay window.
Across the road, Liffey Valley Park offers five different styles of home.
The three-bedroom options start at £150,000 (€190,460) for a 1,068 sq ft mid or end-of-terrace house. Three-bedroom semi-detached homes (1,080 sq ft) start at £159,000 (€201,888) and three bedroom with kitchen extension (1,106 sq ft) start at £169,000 (€214,585).
There are two four-bedroom options - end of terrace (1,236 sq ft) at £178,000 (€226,013) and semi-detached starting at £180,000 (€228,552). The main bedroom of the four-bedroom end of terrace is a stunning room with built-in, bleached-wood furniture. Most of the houses in this development come with the option of a garage.
