You don't have to pay top dollar for a pristine, show home-style house - if you're willing to get your hands dirty with a fixer-upper, you may just bag a bargain.
This week's selection takes us to Baldoyle, Glasnevin and Santry on the northside; Kimmage and Sallynoggin south of the Liffey.
6 Cloyne Road, Kimmage
€335,000
2-bed terraced house
This mid-terrace in the heart of Kimmage, Dublin 12, could be an ideal starter home for a couple - it's well located, close to local shops and amenities and Eamonn Ceannt Park, and just half an hour's walk from the city centre.
You get an entrance hall, two reception rooms, kitchen and bathroom downstairs, with the bedrooms and a WC located upstairs. Perhaps best of all, there's a lovely, long back garden to enjoy, with a shed for storage.

Snugborough, Moyne Road, Baldoyle
€360,000
3-bed detached bungalow
Snugborough is a rather tired-looking bungalow set in a small parcel of land in a semi-rural location, close to Clongriffin and Donaghmede, on the city's northern fringe.
The house undoubtedly requires work but there is the potential to make something of the property and its surroundings, perhaps involving an extension or even full development of the site.

521 Pearse Villas, Sallynoggin
€395,000
3-bed semi-detached house
Those looking for an affordable house in south Dublin would do well to consider this three-bed semi, which is within striking distance of Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey and Killiney, not to mention the N11 and bus routes for access to the city centre.
Downstairs, there's an entrance hallway, living room, kitchen/diner, bathroom and separate WC, with the bedrooms upstairs. A south-facing back garden completes an attractive package.

75 Saint Pappin Road, Glasnevin
€425,000
3-bed terraced house
Located right on the boundary between Glasnevin and Finglas, this mid-terrace has loads of potential, with good-sized rooms including three bedrooms, off-street parking and a large, well-kept back garden.
The house is directly opposite a large patch of green space, with further parks nearby including Albert College Park and Johnstown Park. Botanic Gardens and the villages of Glasnevin, Finglas and Santry are all close at hand too.

1 Shanliss Walk, Santry
€495,000
3-bed semi-detached house
It's clear to see what the selling point is here - lots and lots of outside space. This roomy semi in Santry boasts a lovely front garden that extends to the side of the house. Then behind a wall there's an even larger, private back garden complete with mature trees and a picnic area.
Inside, you'll find a porch, hallway, two reception rooms (each with a fireplace) connected by French doors and the kitchen downstairs, with three bedrooms and the bathroom upstairs.
