THIS fully furnished two-bedroom home has just hit the market in Dublin for a monthly price that is “lower than rent” for many people in the area.
The end of terrace home in Finglas is on the market for a guide price of €285,000.
The three-bathroom house is listed by Auctioneera, with a viewing coming up on Tuesday March 18.
And the listers have done the hard work for potential buyers to work out exactly how much they can expect to pay in mortgage repayments.
A buyer who has 10 per cent of their deposit saved would be looking at a monthly mortgage repayment of €1,302.18.
This would be over 30 years with an interest rate of 4.5 per cent.
Most two-bedroom houses on the market to rent in the Finglas area at the moment are listed for well above €2,000 per month.
So, this house is perfect for buyers looking to get on the property ladder and pay less in rent.
The house was built in 2007 and has not been rented out in the past 24 months.
And it comes fully furnished with dining room tables and chairs, beds and mattresses and sofas.
The property also has built in wardrobes meaning there is even less for the new owners to buy.
It also boasts a private outdoor patio area at the rear of the house.
The exterior of the property has large windows and a paved pathway right outside the front door.
Once you step inside you’re greeted by a bright entry way and a wide corridor that’s tiled in an earth toned tile.
The white walls reflect the light allowing it to open up the large space even further.
The staircase to the second floor stands just inside the door with wooden banisters in great condition.
On the ground floor a spacious and airy sitting room sits to the back of the property.
The home is wired for cable TV and modern style fireplace sits in the chimney breast at the centre of the room.
Two large double doors not only allow light to flood the room but lead to the back patio.
SUNNY SPACE
This stoned space has plenty of room for a table and chairs to enjoy the summer sun or to store bikes or tools.
There’s a gateway out onto a large green area behind the house perfect for young families or someone with pets.
There’s a small bathroom under the stairs with a sink and toilet, perfect for any visitors calling to the house.
Also on the ground floor is the kitchen and dining area.
The kitchen is fully fitted with modern white cabinets and a gorgeous dark wood work top.
The kitchen wraps around in an L shape and has a large window above the sink.
Away from the kitchen is the dining room space with ample room for a dining room table and chairs.
TOP FLOOR
Upstairs sits two large bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en suite.
The first bedroom has a gorgeous double grey bedframe that comes with the house and a row of built in cream wardrobes on the opposite wall.
The floors are wooden and yet another large window allows light to flood the room.
The second bathroom again has wooden floors and a floor to ceiling window.
It also features the same large built in wardrobes as the first room.
Off this room is the en suite that boasts a tiled shower, a sink and toilet.
And in the main bathroom there is a bath/shower and of course a sink and toilet.
MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY
The listers have also outlined some money making opportunities for anyone looking to invest in real estate.
The property can be bought and rented out at current market rates in the popular Dublin area.
Otherwise, someone looking to live in the property themselves but would like a housemate can avail of the rent-a-room relief scheme.
This scheme means you could earn up to €14,000 per year tax-free by renting out the second bedroom.
To avail of the scheme you must live in the property yourself and your tenant must also live there on a long-term basis.
