Asking price: €1.15m Agent: Sherry FitzGerald (01) 495 1111 Located 6km from the city centre, Templeogue is renowned as one of Dublin’s most commuter friendly suburbs. If you don’t want to get caught in rush-hour traffic, you can cycle there in 25 minutes. Along with a selection of schools, shops, bars and restaurants, it has nature and sports amenities galore including football, rugby, tennis and swimming clubs, not to mention acres of outdoor space in nearby Bushy and Marlay parks. And then there’s the Dodder Trail, a riverside walk where you can spot ducks, swans and grey herons among weeping willows. With such an array of amenities so close to the city, it’s no wonder that Springfield Crescent is such a big hit among buyers with deep enough pockets to afford a family home in a highly sought-after area. Set at the end of a cul-de-sac, No5 is a detached house with recent upgrades including double-glazed windows and doors, a new gas boiler installed in 2024 and an EV charging point in the front driveway. Extending to 1,668 sq ft, accommodation includes a living room and an open plan kitchen/dining room with recessed lights, porcelain tiled flooring and sliding doors to the back garden. Also at ground level is a versatile ensuite reception that could make a useful home office, bedroom or den. Upstairs are five bedrooms (three double, two single) and a family bathroom. There’s side access to the back garden, which has a patio, lawn and a block-built shed wired for electricity with two separate storage areas.
