67 Trees Road Upper, Co Dublin
According to the Property Price Register, No67 Trees Road sold only in June last year for €718,000. The new owners had in mind a refurbishment project and they've left nothing out. There's a new kitchen, new soundproof windows (double- and triple-glazed), a new stairs, new doors, and an up-to-the-minute A3 energy rating.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor, two of them with en-suite showers. The former garage downstairs makes for an optional fifth bedroom or home office. Across the hall from that is a front-facing sitting room with a fireplace, and at the back is an open-plan, L-shaped kitchen and living room with a centre island and two sets of sliding doors to the back garden. The house measures 1,858 sq ft.
4 Harvard, Ardilea, Clonskeagh, D14
€1.25m Lisney Leeson Street (01) 662 4511
The Harvard estate was built in the 1970s along with its neighbours, all similarly named after the world's most important universities – Yale, Louvain, Sorbonne and so on – and all within shouting distance of UCD.
No4 is at the end of its cul-de-sac and has grounds of a quarter of an acre, with lawns and mature trees. There's a car port out the front and plenty of parking space. Inside, it needs ridding of its 1970s aesthetic and an energy upgrade (it's rated F). The floor area is 2,508 sq ft with five bedrooms upstairs (one en-suite). Downstairs there's a dual-aspect living room with double doors to a dining room, and a kitchen with a wraparound conservatory off.
37 Greygates, Stillorgan Rd, Co Dublin
€845k DNG Stillorgan (01) 283 2700
Greygates is one of the neighbourhoods built by the celebrated 1930s property developer John Kenny, who has left a good-looking legacy all over Mount Merrion. No37 needs modernising now and has plenty of space to extend thanks to that classic feature of pre-war housing, the massive back garden – some 125ft long in this case, and facing southwest.
As it stands it measures 1,453 sq ft and you might carve more living space out of the attic or from the adjoining garage. The ground floor has two reception rooms back-to-back, each with a fireplace and the rear one with a door to the garden. The kitchen and breakfast room are also at the back, and there are four bedrooms upstairs.
50 Deerpark Road, Co Dublin
€725k Vincent Finnegan (01) 298 4695
Deerpark Road links Mount Anville Road and North Avenue and it also – as the name suggests – leads you to the Deer Park itself: there's an entrance less than 100 metres down the street from No50.
In keeping with the parkland atmosphere, No50 also has a 95ft tiered back garden, now rather neglected. The house itself also needs attention but has surprisingly long views to the north as far as Poolbeg, especially from the first floor where there are three bedrooms. The ground floor has a front living room and a rear dining room with sliding doors to a terrace, plus the kitchen and an attached garage. The total floor area is 1,1130 sq ft.
