Map & Owner's Profile
Dublin City Centre Artisan Cottage
Year Purchased: 1998
Why the Owner Chose Dublin
We had a good friend living in the cul de sac where the house and we always loved the area. It ticked all our boxes when we first started to look at buying our first home together. It was in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. It was within walking distance to the city centre and was beside the Phoenix park. We always wanted to live close to the city but we wanted somewhere that had a strong sense of community. Also the area has so many amazing cultural activities on its doorstep it really appealed to us.
