€285k  Gallagher Quigley, (01) 818 3000

The owners of 15 James Street North, North Strand, have transformed a drab and faded end-of-terrace house into something quite chic and special. The entire ground floor is now open-plan, with a 333 sq ft living room, dining room and kitchen, and a large roof window. There's also a utility room and a small study. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The total size is 861 sq ft, and it has a paved back garden. The modernisation also included upgrading the insulation and heating, so it now has a B3 energy rating.

Number 18 St Ita's Road is a three-bedroom terraced house with original features, such as fireplaces in several rooms, and it is in need of some tender, loving care.

The total floor space is 905 sq ft.

108A Eaton Wood, Shankill

€290k Beirne & Wise, (01) 288 0900

This house, in Co Dublin, is essentially an extension to Number 108, and is consequently a rather odd shape, being wider at the back than the front. It's 1,012 sq ft with, on the ground floor, a kitchen/dining room, guest toilet, and a living room with double doors to the back garden. The first floor has two bedrooms, one en-suite, and the main bathroom. The back is about 30 ft square, with a lawn, patio and some mature evergreens providing privacy. It is close to the railway line, and Shankill Dart station is about 10 minutes' walk away.
