Sunny and spacious two-bed in Cabra for €295,000

St Attracta Road is a horseshoe-shaped road of former council houses that radiates off old Cabra’s Fassaugh Road.

Number 128 is a very simply renovated house situated on the sunny side of the street. It has a small but perfectly formed south-westerly facing back garden where a tiny eucalyptus sapling was planted by the owners in 2003 to mark their move.

The sapling has grown into a large eucalyptus tree that is flourishing so well that they’ve had to call out the tree surgeon twice to curb its enthusiasm.
