Every week, we look at a selection of properties that are full of potential, but maybe need a little facelift first.
The latest selection takes us to Poppintree, Finglas and Artane on the northside, and Clondalkin and Perrystown in west Dublin.
26 Belclare Park, Poppintree
€235,000
3-bed terraced house
This house is in an enviable position, an end-terrace in a quiet cul-de-sac, right next to a very pleasant and well-maintained green area. Poppintree Park is a short distance away, as are Charlestown Shopping Centre and all the amenities of Finglas village, as well as the M50 and M1.
The house is spacious and in good condition, but a little dated - a full refurbishment would help it realise its undoubted potential.

34 St. Benedict's Gardens, Phibsborough
€250,000
2-bed terraced house
Not a bad price for the area - minutes' walk from Phibsborough, Drumcondra and the city centre, steps away from plenty of bus routes and just round the corner from the railway station. The house may also appeal to workers at the nearby Mater Hospital and Mountjoy Prison.
There's a job of work to be done in this house, as it looks like it would benefit from a full, top-to-bottom refurbishment - so for anyone with a bit of imagination, 34 St. Benedict's Gardens could become your blank canvas.

53 Floraville Avenue, Clondalkin
€349,950
3-bed semi-detached house
There's a great deal of potential in this Clondalkin house - those spacious rooms and massive windows will have plenty of buyers' imaginations running wild. The kitchen/diner, in particular, is a great size and will appeal to families - as will the back garden and storage shed.
The house is in a quiet location close to the centre of Clondalkin village, plenty of local schools and transport links including the N7, M50 and Red Cow Luas station.

157 Whitehall Road West, Perrystown
€475,000
3-bed semi-detached house
This family home in Perrystown is in great shape to allow buyers to put their own stamp on it - nice big rooms, and open layout and not a lot that needs to be ripped out of the house.
The garden needs some work but that can be your next job after the interior is sorted, and it will really add to the suitability of the house. It's in a residential area in west Dublin with lots of parks and facilities close at hand, including Tymon Park and Bushy Park.

188 Beauvale Park, Artane
€375,000
4-bed semi-detached house
Location is everything here - 188 Beauvale Park is in the heart of Artane, practically across the road from Artaine Castle shopping centre and with three parks within easy reach. Beaumont Hospital, DCU and plenty of schools can also be found nearby.
The house is a well laid-out, bright family semi with a living room, spacious kitchen/diner and four bedrooms. Plenty of off-street parking and a back garden complete the package.
