Harold's Cross/€825,000:Number 8 Mount Argus Grove in Harold's Cross is close enough to fall under the term "city living" but has many qualities that houses closer to St Stephen's Green lack - principally a garden with potential to extend and plenty of parking.

The 128sq m (1,380sq ft) four-bedroom semi-detached house is for sale by private treaty through Lisney, which is seeking offers of €825,000.

Mount Argus Grove is a quiet, small development built in the early 1970s around a cul-de-sac off Mount Argus Road, beside Mount Argus Church and Harold's Cross Park.

A generous communal parking area lies to the front of the redbrick houses.

Each has a separate garage, hidden to one side of the cul-de-sac.

Inside, there is a kitchen to the left and a sittingroom to the right. The main reception room runs across the back of the house, looking out to the secluded garden, which is large by city standards.

This bright room has new hardwood floors and a marble chimneypiece. There is also a guest bathroom off the hall.

With not too much difficulty, the ground floor layout could be reconfigured and the house extended to the rear.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms and a recently refitted bathroom. All ceilings are higher than average and there is a large floored attic.
