73 Clonliffe Avenue, Dublin 3
This two-bedroom terrace plus attic conversion comes to the market in Dublin 3, in an area convenient to the city centre. Number 73 Clonliffe Avenue, extending to 92sq m (990sq ft) with a Ber of D, is selling through Leonard Wilson Keenan estate agents, seeking €349,000.
The property has a livingroom with a bay window to the front, which connects to a bright kitchen-diner through double doors. The kitchen has modern white high-gloss units, recessed lighting and a central island for the hob. A glass door leads out to the backyard, which has low-maintenance concrete underfoot.
One of the bedrooms on the first floor is long and rather narrow and is currently used a TV room with a pull-out bed for guests. The second bedroom is laid out in an L shape, so it is likely you would fit only a single bed here, although it currently makes a good home office with plenty of storage space. The owners have set the attic conversion up as the main bedroom.
This home is within walking distance of Croke Park, Fairview Park and the amenities of Drumcondra village.

65 Blackmillers Hill, Kildare Town
This A2-rated, recently built three-bed terrace comes to the market in Kildare town; a bustling place with plenty of schools, shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.

Otherwise, this is a modern home that you could move into straight away and start making your own.
The 124sq m (1,335sq ft) property consists of a livingroom, kitchen-diner, WC, a utility space on the ground floor with two double bedrooms – the main is en suite – a single bedroom and the bathroom upstairs.
