Trading up: Mount Oval, Rochestown €480,000

There’s been a few recent strong house resales in the Clarkes Wood portion of the broad mix of schemes at Mount Oval, and now into the fray comes the three-storey four-bed, No 7.

Showing almost in showhouse order, and with open viewings today at 1pm, and Wednesday next at 5.30pm to prove the point.

Guided at the €480,000 by Sherry FitzGerald’s Sheila O’Flynn and Ann O’Mahony (whose most recent similar Clarkes Wood sale nearby was into the €500ks for a very tasty example,) No 7 is pristine, with front reception room and bright rear kitchen/dining, area, all porcelain-tiled on the floor and down into a step-down family room, with a wide, inset contemporary stove and equally wide inset TV slot above.

Kitchen units are in walnut, and ivory gloss, with granite tops and a stainless steel range cooker, and there’s also a ground floor WC and utility with side/garden access.

The first floor houses two en suite bedrooms, one fore, the other aft, and each has built-in robes. The top floor then has two dormer bedrooms, hotpress and family bathroom.

Lofty No 7’s in walk-in condition, with off-street parking on a brick-paved drive, and the back is secure, and well planted up with shrubs, with sandstone patio and separate paved seating area.

VERDICT: In a quiet part of the large, popular O’Flynn Construction scheme
