Dormer bungalow with potential to extend in Blackrock

13 Springhill Avenue, Blackrock, Co Dublin

Agent: Janet Carroll (087) 400 2020

Springhill Avenue sprang up in the 1960s between the south Dublin villages of Deansgrange and Blackrock.

More than half a century later, the estate has remained a firm favourite with families.

Springhill playground is at the end of the street and next to that is Newtown Park with another playground, tennis club, skate park and playing fields.

There’s a choice of schools nearby, including the soon-to-be-built Educate Together secondary school, which is within walking distance, and it’s a half-hour drive to the city centre.

Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, No13 is on a corner site, giving new owners plenty of room to play with, whether they want to extend, as others have done, or even build a separate infill house, subject to planning.

Spanning 1,400 sq ft, the recently refurbished dormer bungalow comes with an added bonus of a detached 550 sq ft studio/workshop in the back garden.

The main house opens into an entrance hall with guest WC/shower room off. Also on the ground floor is a living room, an extended kitchen/dining room and two bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms, the main with ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, and a family bathroom.

There’s off-street parking for several cars in the front driveway.

To the rear, a two-tiered timber decking area lined with bamboo fencing and climbing shrubs is connected to a large lawn with a treehouse that’s included in the sale. Janet Carroll seeks €895,000.
