* A NEW three-bedroom house in Shankill, Co Dublin has had its price reduced from €1.26 million to €650,000 through Owen Reilly. The house is part of a small development called Albany Court, off Shanganagh Road, that was planned during the boom when top-of-the-range fittings were standard. Walnut wide-plank flooring, an Italian kitchen, luxury bathroom fittings, underfloor heating and floor-to-ceiling glazing are some of the features of the split level home.
On view Saturday, 1-2pm

On the market at €750,000, the house needs modernisation but the draw here is the outdoor space: a front garden of 100ft and a back garden stretching to 120ft.
On view Saturday, noon to 1pm
