Charming home in city centre location

WHILE the name might raise an ironic smile, Prosperity Square is a hot property location which errs more on the expensive, rather than the expansive size.

Let’s be honest, these houses are small, even tooshie, and most have had substantial additions over time, but few rise above the two-bedroomed level.

However, what they lack in square feet they make up for in charm, and shelter a broad cross-section of inhabitants.

So it’s no surprise that houses carry price tags from €240,000 upwards and sell really fast; after all, they are effectively own door apartments in the city centre.

Number 35, Prosperity Square is on the market with Patrick Howard of James G Coughlan and Associates and carries an asking price of €250,000, and is under offer at that level at the moment.

In superb condition, this house has two bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and bathroom. But that’s doesn’t do justice to the overall, cottagey ambience of this house, it has to be viewed. With two double bedrooms, it’s ideal for a couple or friends sharing, and kerbside parking in the city is an added bonus.
