Each week, we pick out five of the most appealing property projects in Dublin - those houses that perhaps need a little love to help them achieve their full potential.
This week, we've found some fantastic properties in Ballyfermot, Clondalkin, Donaghmede, Drumcondra and Warrenmount.
62 Drumfinn Road, Ballyfermot
€245,000
2-bed terraced house
A fantastic location in the heart of Ballyfermot - directly opposite a national school and a girls' secondary school, and seconds away from Glenaulin Park, which is ideal for walking, playing and kicking a ball around.
The house certainly requires modernisation but it's in great condition, which means it may fit the bill for those looking for a relatively uncomplicated refurbishment project. Best of all, it has an enormous back garden and a sizeable front garden too.

52 Grange View Road, Clondalkin
€289,950
5-bed terraced house
For those in search of plenty of space on a tight budget, this Clondalkin house looks very appealing. Three storeys high, the house contains five bedrooms - master en suite.
The downstairs living accommodation is huge, with a large living room leading to an expansive kitchen/diner, and then on out to the back garden via patio doors. The neighbours have extended into the garden, so there's potentially the option to follow suit.

82 Grange Abbey Drive, Donaghmede
€295,000
3-bed semi-detached house
This attractive semi in Donaghmede benefits from a quiet setting in a residential cul-de-sac, and yet it's just off the R809 between Baldoyle and the M1/M50. Donaghmede Park is also right on your doorstep.
The house boasts lovely mature gardens at the front and back, large windows to let in the maximum amount of light, and a standard 3-bed semi layout. It looks like some of the refurbishments have already begun, so you'll even have a head start in making this fine house your home.

3 Carlingford Road, Drumcondra
€495,000
3-bed terraced house
This is a gorgeous red-brick terrace in a highly sought-after location in Drumcondra, a short stroll from the main road (with its many bus routes), not to mention the fact that Anderson's Creperie is just a few doors down.
The house has plenty of period charm and some original features, like the fireplace in the living room and high ceilings, but it also benefits from a brand-new kitchen and a good-sized back garden, with access to an alleyway.

55 Clarence Mangan Road, Warrenmount
€500,000
2-bed end-of-terrace house
Behind that bright yellow from door is an absolute gem of a house - an extremely spacious 2/3 bed property with a two gardens and off-street parking, in a fantastic location on the edge of the city centre.
With period features, high ceilings and large rooms, the house looks perfect for a top-to-bottom refurbishment, and though it is marketed as a two-bed property, there is plenty of scope to turn one of the reception rooms into a third bedroom or study.
