Country feel within a walk of the city

THIS house at Lima Lawn, Glasheen, is truly a city home, but you’d never guess on an early morning visit. Facing onto a neat green, there’s a lot of tranquility here, despite being within a 20 minute walk from town.

The crescent layout and a limited throughway makes for a sense of calm and community and so number 26 is ideal for a family, downsizing couple or starter home as it comes with a choice of three to four bedrooms and is in move-in condition. In a private, corner location, it’s on the market with Jeremy Murphy and Associates at €245,000.

Many of the houses in this old suburb tend to be doer-uppers and need investment, but here, the classic semi is ready to go with a modern, Shaker kitchen/dining room at the rear and a range of living rooms.
