Dublin 14: €1.3mOne of the distinctive detached houses on Goatstown Road in Dublin 14 has come on the market by private treaty with Property Team O'Mahony.
A bonus with this five-bedroom property is its large garden, which comes with full planning permission for a 62 sq m (670 sq ft) bungalow and a 97 sq m (1,040 sq ft) extension to the main house. The price tag of €1.3 million for Whitelea, 139 Goatstown Road, reflects the popularity of these 1950s houses and their prime location, within walking distance of UCD's Belfield campus and across the road from Our Lady's Grove school.
The proposed bungalow will have its own driveway and entrance, suggesting a range of possibilities for prospective buyers. Recently rewired and decorated, the 153 sq m (1,650 sq ft) house is in walk-in order.
A wide inner hall opens to a cosy sittingroom with Liscannor stone and marble fireplace. The diningroom opens through double doors to a kitchen/breakfastroom with pine units and doors to the garden.
A television room with marble and granite fireplace is also at this level. Upstairs, there are three reasonable doubles and two single bedrooms, four with wardrobes. The bathroom has a Jacuzzi bath and there is also a tiled shower room. The walled front garden is sheltered by well-grown shrubs and trees.
