WOW APPEAL IN DUBLIN 18 SEMI
Where: No 23 Sandyford Hall Crescent, Sandyford, Dublin 18
Price: 625,000
BEHIND the deceptively modest exterior of this modern, threebed semi at Sandyford Hall Crescent is a house with great charm and a garden with a de"nite 'wow' factor. Built in l994, No 23 has since been extended and redesigned to create bigger, better living space (124sq m) including a large kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a conservatory that takes in full views of the garden up to the Dublin Mountains. At some 127ft long x 120ft wide, the south-facing garden is an undoubted selling point and it's clear that the current owners have created an outdoor space to revel in. There is a sheltered patio for al fresco dining, as well as an impressive, raised deck, a water feature, play area, and abundance of shrubs, flowers and mature trees.
