    Address: 51 St Gabriel’s, Cabinteely, Co DublinPrice: €1,050,000 Agent: Sherry FitzGerald Houses such as 51 St Gabriel’s in Cabinteely must be an estate agent’s dream to sell. It is in walk-in condition, a result of constant upgrading and maintenance over the years since its current owners purchased the house in 2014. It appears on the Property Price Register as having sold back then for €673,000, while there is also the sum of €30,000 on the register from 2024, which was an intra-family transfer.

    Address: 15 Westfield Road, Harold’s Cross, Dublin 6WPrice: €1,450,000 Agent: DNGAs Portobello and Ranelagh in Dublin have become more costly, many house-hunters are turning to Harold’s Cross, where you can find similar style period homes for less.
