The kerb-appeal is very real at this 1990-built four-bed home in Ballincollig.

Semi-detached 2 Maglin Crescent has a super neat frontage that’s matched by neutral taupe and blush colours inside.

Agent Tirza Hourihane of Sherry FitzGerald notes the energy efficiency as well as the overall efficiency of the home: “It’s A3 rated which is brilliant. You’re walking distance from Ballincollig centre and you have the link road close by too — it’s a super super location. There’s an EV charger to the side, a wide gate to the back where you have a block built shed with power, and a patio behind it.”

The current owners, a family, have owned this house for a good number of years, and are trading up in the area so it’s on the market now for €495k.

They have done quite a lot of lovely work on it, adds Ms Hourihane.

Those improvement works include Hive heating controls, a new combi boiler, Smart thermostatic radiator valves fitted to all the rads (to help keep a room’s temperature constant), LED lighting throughout and a solid fuel stove. They also enhanced the attic and wall insulation, switched to composite external doors, upgraded windows, and installed 13 solar panels along with a 10kW battery.

At 132 sq m there’s a decent amount of living space with a kitchen/dining with separate utility room across the back of the house which sits in a cul-de-sac. This room has a sunroom at one end so there’s great light here. The front room has double clear glass doors onto the hallway so that’s also bright.

And there’s a ground floor bedroom which could be swapped over to a playroom or home office by new owners. Upstairs two of the three bedrooms are doubles and the main one has its own bathroom.
