120 St Eithne Road, a former local authority two-storey two-bed in Cabra, off St Attracta Road, is more or less half way between east Cabra, the area closer to Phibsboro, and Cabra west. The part close to Phibsboro is most popular, but the whole Cabra area has become a hunting ground for people looking for affordable homes near to the city centre. This property is structurally sound, according to agent Gary Flood of Mason Estates, but needs major renovation - principally heating, a new kitchen, and a bathroom, which could cost £25,000 to £30,000. It is in its original condition at present, but these houses have a number of good features, like high ceilings and decent-sized back gardens - in this case, 30 ft long.
