Moyne Road is one of Ranelagh’s top addresses and house prices have reflected that demand. But buying is all about timing.
A little over four years ago you could have bought on the road for just over €600,000. In April 2012 number 79 sold for €610,000. Two years later when number 18 came to market it was asking €975,000 but the smartly renovated property sold for €1.122 million. Six months later number 109 sold for €1.045 million.
Number 55, a three-bedroom terraced redbrick situated about half way up the road and backing on to the Luas tracks just above the Beechwood stop is now on the market, through Lisney, with an asking price of €975,000.

Set back from the street, the house has a small front lawn and opens into a pale oak parquet-floored hall. The property was refurbished in 2004 and now has underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.
The flooring is carried through to the inter-connecting reception rooms, with the livingroom enjoying the bay window to the front. French windows from the dining room lead out to the garden. These two rooms are decent sized with black marble open fireplaces. Simply decorated for sale the rooms will suit most styles of furniture.
Originally the rooms on the hall return would have comprised a breakfast room with the kitchen located to the rear. The current owner has changed this layout installing an eat-in kitchen in the original breakfast room but retaining the chimney breast that divides these rooms cleverly using the space to situate a gas-burning range and secreting an extractor in the chimney flue.
The space to the rear is now a second sitting room with roof lights flooding the space with light. Glass doors on two of its four walls lead out to the east-facing garden.
Divided into patio and lawn areas there is vehicular rear access, handy in Ranelagh where parking on these roads is always pretty tight.
The property has one bathroom, a large limestone clad space set on the first floor return. It has underfloor heating and a separate bath and shower.
The house has three bedrooms, two doubles and a large single set to the front of the house. The master bedroom overlooks the front.
The property measures 147sq ft (1,582sq ft).
