WHAT will sell 69 Maryville the fastest, and for the best price?

The location?

Or, the fact it’s had ‘the hard work’ done to it?

Both attractions, surely, will feature when viewers come to call to this Ballintemple bungalow, listed with a €475,000 AMV via agent James G Coughlan: all that’s to be decided is who gets it and how much they have to pay.

The c 1,100 sq ft three-bed home is at the lower end of Maryville in the south city suburbs, looking north towards Montenotte and the Lee, with the SuperValu Páirc Ui Chaoimh GAA stadium a few hundred metres away as the seagull, or the sliotar, flies.

“Unlike most properties that come to the market in this sought-after area, No. 69 Maryville comes with all of the hard work completed,” says agent Jim Coughlan, selling for a vendor relocating for work, adding it has been upgraded, extended (modestly so) and modernised.

“This gem represents a wonderful opportunity to set down roots in a mature well-serviced area without having to spend the next 18 months dealing with builders and stress,” he adds, in words sure to strike the right note for a wide cohort of home hunters, both traders down (they’ll be to the fore?) and starters off. It has had external insulation fitted, plus has a Henley solid fuel stove in the front reception room with bay window off the slightly splayed entry hall, which is oak-floored.

The separate dining room has a fireplace; the kitchen’s pretty up to date, and then there’s also a long galley utility room, main bathroom with bath, three bedrooms and one has a shower en suite and walk-in robes.

There’s gas central heating and double glazing; it gets a solid C2 BER, has off-street parking and gardens front and back, within a few minutes’ walk of Ballintemple village, or of the start of the new amenity areas by the GAA stadium and the Marina.

VERDICT: Tall dockland apartment towers are going to be seen in the decades ahead from settled Maryville, where bungalows are in the minority.

Site works underway at the former FORD distribution site which hosted the 'Live at the Marquee' concert series in recent years. 1002 apartments in 12 blocks ranging in height from 4-14 storeys, including retail units, a montessori school, a creche, medical centre, bar, cafe, venue and performance area, with community resource spaces. The site is adjacent to the new Marina Park and near SuperValu Pairc Ui Chaoimh. Pic Larry Cummins

No 69’s a rare walk-in job here, and if for any reason at all a buyer hankers after employing a builder, the attic is ready for development, adds the selling agent, covering all of this bases, and then some.
