About this property
Description
Mullery O’Gara are delighted to present No. 42 Church Avenue South to the market — a turnkey, B-rated home in exceptional condition. No expense has been spared in its presentation, combining the warmth and comfort of a family home with thoughtful design and modern practicality. Tastefully finished and beautifully styled throughout, it boasts generous proportions, clever features, and an enviable position at the end of the road with an uninterrupted view down the avenue. At the heart of the home lies the impressive living room, spanning the full width of the property. Flooded with natural light from French doors and full-width windows, this inviting space feels bright and expansive. The doors open onto a private decked area — the perfect spot to relax or entertain. A standout feature is the electric retractable awning, providing shade in summer and shelter in the colder months, ensuring year-round use of this low-maintenance outdoor area, complete with artificial grass and surrounding planters. For those seeking additional space, the property offers excellent potential to convert the attic. With ample room for a staircase and a generous attic footprint — as others on the row have already done — this would further enhance the already substantial 109 sq.m. of accommodation. Ideally positioned on the quiet and much sought-after Church Avenue South, just off the South Circular Road, the property enjoys immediate access to a host of amenities. Dublin 8 has become one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, home to an eclectic mix of cafés, restaurants, and independent shops.
