Valuable parking spaces come with this pricey starter

IT may be a little pricey for a starter home, but 83, Capwell Road is neat, well-maintained and just a walk from the city. Most importantly, it has valuable parking for two cars.

Almost directly opposite Coláiste Chríost Rí, this house has had ‘donkeyloads’ of enquiries so far, according to Sherry FitzGerald.

At the moment, Ann O’Mahony of Sherry FitzGerald has an offer of €230,000 from the original guide of 190,000 for this three-bedroomed property.

Entrance is via the side and leads into a nice square hallway with all the rooms ranged around.

The main living room still has its original 1930’s mahogany fireplace and the house has been extended at the back to provide a kitchen/dining room and bathroom. This leads onto a lovely, sunny garden with a raised lawn, shrub beds and a Barna shed.

The one snag with the house is that the bedrooms are upstairs while the bathroom is downstairs, but that doesn’t seem to have put off the punters so far - with good inner city properties, selling is a doddle.
