21 Pinewood Drive, Dublin 11: €399k
There’s nothing like a €50,000 price reduction to make prospective buyers take a closer look, and it’d be surprising if that wasn’t the case with this three-bed semi in Glasnevin. Granted the house is in need of some upgrading, but for those who can see beyond the carpets and vintage wallpapers, there is what appears to be a solid family house with large gardens front and back, where the aspect faces west. There is already a greenhouse, and room for growing veg as well as for trampolines and goalposts. Currently, there are two reception rooms plus kitchen on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a shower room and separate lav upstairs. There’s also a garage that offers the potential to convert for extra space. This is a great area for families, with a good choice of schools nearby, as well as shops, parks and plenty of sports clubs and facilities. Dublin Airport is a 10-minute drive, and there are several bus routes close by.
