Douglas home could be lucky 13 for you

Three of the biggest and best homes in the ever-popular Paddocks development in Douglas were sold back in 2014, at prices reported in the Price Register at €680k, €747k and €765k.

The Paddocks, Douglas

€525,000

Sq 145 (1,558 sq ft)

Bedrooms: 4

Bathrooms: 4

BER: B3

Best Feature: Stylish interior

Now, a smaller house type, but extended in any case since day one, No 13 Tirol Close comes to market with agent Trish Stokes of Lisney, guiding at €525,000, for a four-bed which has been brought up to 1,560 sq ft.

Its current owner bought it when she traded down in the early 2000s, and she added a side extension.

It has a high-end kitchen with glistening red terrazzo-like splashbacks, plus an above-spec main bathroom with feature double rectangular Jacuzzi bath and strip tiling.

Two of its four bedrooms are en suite, also done to a higher than usual level, and one has a walk-in robe.

There’s internal access to an integrated garage, giving scope for home office/family room/den use, and overall both ergonomics and storage needs are well catered for in No 13.

This detached was last on the market in September 2006, asking €940,000 but was taken off market and let to high-end corporate use.

VERDICT: Better than the average in the Paddocks, this mid 2000s refurb has stood the test of time.
