Best kept suburban secret out in the open

FLUSHED with the success of a recent sale, auctioneer Billy Casey of Casey and Kingston has another large, detached property for sale in the western suburbs.

The agent probably netted the sale of the summer last month when he sold Dunorlan in Laburnum Park for a whopping 1.3 million.

The modern five-bed started at €750,000 and within weeks was bid up to its selling price. It's as good an indication as any of the strength of the market west of the city, where development is ring-fenced by the County Council's Green Belt policy.
