- South easterly rear garden: The walled and fenced rear garden benefits from a desirable south easterly orientation and includes a tiled patio area, ideal for enjoying morning and afternoon sunlight.
- Off street parking: The railed front garden features a wide cobble lock driveway, offering convenient off-street parking for residents and visitors alike.
- Internal wall insulation: All outside walls have been dry lined internally, which helps improve thermal retention and overall energy efficiency within the property.
- Modern flooring finishes: The home benefits from newly installed wide plank timber flooring across multiple rooms and new carpet flooring on the landing, offering a fresh move-in ready aesthetic.
- Ensuite master bedroom: The front double bedroom features an ensuite bathroom, adding privacy and convenience for the primary occupants of the house.
- Fitted bedroom storage: Three of the four bedrooms come equipped with fitted wardrobes, maximizing floor space and providing practical storage solutions right from the start.
- Dual bathroom facilities: The accommodation includes two bathrooms, specifically an ensuite and a family bathroom with a walk-in shower, reducing morning congestion for a busy household.
- Proximity to healthcare: The residence is located very close to Beaumont Hospital, making it an ideal choice for healthcare workers or anyone seeking rapid access to major medical facilities.
- Accessible public transport: Commuters benefit from a roughly fifteen-minute walk to Killester DART station alongside several local Dublin Bus services connecting easily to the city centre.
- Proximity to major employment: Dublin City Centre, East Point Business Park, the IFSC, and the Airport are all within easy driving distance, making daily commuting straightforward.
- Family friendly schooling: The location is a stone throw from numerous local national and secondary schools, making it highly practical for families with school-aged children.

- Side entrance access: A dedicated side entrance provides direct external access to both the front and rear gardens, allowing for easy movement of bins, bikes, and garden equipment.
- Gas fired central heating: The house is equipped with a gas fired radiator central heating system, ensuring reliable and controllable warmth throughout the winter months.
But keep in mind:
- Moderate BER rating: The property holds a C energy rating with an indicator of 171.02 kWh/m2/yr, meaning a buyer may want to budget for future upgrades to improve energy efficiency.
- Untested fixtures and services: The selling agent notes that none of the apparatus, fixtures, fittings, or services have been tested, so buyers should commission independent inspections.
- Single bedroom sizing: While the home has four bedrooms, two are designated as generous single rooms, which may offer limited space if used as permanent double rooms or large home offices.
- Compact bathroom dimensions: The family bathroom measures 1.92m by 1.93m and the ensuite measures 1.48m by 1.69m, indicating relatively compact washing facilities that lack a traditional bathtub.
- Potential traffic congestion: Being located just off the busy Malahide Road means that local access routes may experience heavy commuter traffic during peak morning and evening rush hours.
- Internal dry lining footprint: While internal dry lining improves insulation, buyers should verify that this method did not noticeably reduce the interior floor dimensions of the principal rooms.
- Cul de sac turning space: The end of a cul de sac location can sometimes present tight turning or reversing circles when multiple visitor vehicles are parked in the driveway.
- Boundary fence maintenance: The walled and fenced rear garden will require ongoing maintenance and potential future repairs by the buyer to ensure long-term boundary security.
- Patio surface maintenance: The tiled patio area in the rear garden should be inspected by a surveyor for loose grouting, cracking, or potential frost damage from previous winters.
- Window glazing age: Although the listing notes double glazed windows, buyers should investigate the specific age and thermal efficiency of these units to determine if replacements are needed.
- Attic insulation status: The listing details do not specify the depth or condition of attic insulation, so purchasers should verify this area to ensure optimal heat retention.
- Boiler lifespan and servicing: As a gas fired central heating system is installed, buyers must check the age and service history of the boiler to avoid an unexpected replacement cost.
- Plumbing appliance connections: The kitchen is plumbed for a washing machine and dishwasher, but a thorough plumbing check is advised to confirm there are no hidden leaks or pressure issues.
- Electrical system compliance: Given the house was built in 1995, an electrical survey should be conducted to verify that the fuse board and wiring meet modern safety standards.
- Surface water drainage: Buyers should investigate the drainage in the south-easterly rear garden and cobble-lock driveway during wet weather to ensure there is no pooling of surface water.
- Party wall considerations: As a semi-detached property built in the mid-nineties, buyers should be mindful of shared party wall arrangements and potential sound transmission between neighboring homes.
- Storage limitation understairs: While an understairs storage room is mentioned in the entrance hall, buyers with large bulk items may find overall internal storage capacity somewhat limited.
- Ventilation in wet areas: Both shower rooms feature enclosed layouts, so buyers should check for adequate mechanical extraction fans to prevent moisture buildup and potential mold growth.
- Proximity to commercial hubs: Being close to a major shopping centre and fast-food outlets may lead to increased local litter or foot traffic immediately outside the immediate cul de sac.
- Future expansion potential: The configuration of the side entrance and rear garden suggests limited side extension potential without significantly reducing outdoor amenity space, which buyers should verify.
