73 Clonliffe Avenue, Dublin 3
This two-bedroom terrace plus attic conversion comes to the market in Dublin 3, in an area convenient to the city centre. Number 73 Clonliffe Avenue, extending to 92sq m (990sq ft) with a Ber of D, is selling through Leonard Wilson Keenan estate agents, seeking €349,000.
The property has a livingroom with a bay window to the front, which connects to a bright kitchen-diner through double doors. The kitchen has modern white high-gloss units, recessed lighting and a central island for the hob. A glass door leads out to the backyard, which has low-maintenance concrete underfoot.
One of the bedrooms on the first floor is long and rather narrow and is currently used a TV room with a pull-out bed for guests. The second bedroom is laid out in an L shape, so it is likely you would fit only a single bed here, although it currently makes a good home office with plenty of storage space. The owners have set the attic conversion up as the main bedroom.

65 Blackmillers Hill, Kildare Town
This A2-rated, recently built three-bed terrace comes to the market in Kildare town; a bustling place with plenty of schools, shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.

Otherwise, this is a modern home that you could move into straight away and start making your own.
The 124sq m (1,335sq ft) property consists of a livingroom, kitchen-diner, WC, a utility space on the ground floor with two double bedrooms – the main is en suite – a single bedroom and the bathroom upstairs.
