53 Annamoe Park, Cabra €395k SHERRY FITZGERALD DRUMCONDRA, (01) 837 3737
GOOGLE Street View in 2014 captured a small, exceedingly hairy dog disgracing himself in the green area that lies in the centre of Annamoe Park. Number 53 faces directly onto the green so it’s handy for dog owners, who will of course pick up any leavings. The house has been extended at the back, taking the floor area to 786 sq ft and adding a kitchen with sliding doors to the decked back garden. The ground floor also has a living room and there are two bedrooms upstairs, one with a cast-iron fireplace. There’s also a bathroom with a rain shower. Number 53 has been recently refurbished with a heating and insulation upgrade, so its BER is now B3.

THE Limerick Chronicle in 1944 carried an obituary for journalist Joseph K O’Leary, who had written for the Daily Express and the Evening Mail and also for this newspaper.

Number 38 is a split-level terraced house down the street from St Joseph’s Church. It has a living room, a dining room and a kitchen on the ground floor and two bedrooms upstairs, and it’s 603 sq ft. The agents are seeking cash buyers.
