Dungourney Residence Details

The property is a quarter of a century old. Agent Kyle Kennedy of Kennedy Estate Agents described the house to the Irish Examiner as a blank canvas for a purchaser to let their imagination run wild.

The owners recently relocated to a new home in the area after renovating the top-floor shower room. The layout features four separate downstairs living rooms alongside a bright sun room.

Upstairs includes four bedrooms, with two benefiting from private bathrooms. The top level contains two additional rooms lit by Velux windows and an extra bathroom.
