Pretty soon after the sale of the house next door comes Mount Ovel #25, a vaguely Georgian style detached single family home with a little used small outdoor pool, just off Clarkes Hill in Rochestown.
There is a pool and diving board which has seen little use recently
The development — at the foot of the hill now dominated at the top by the Mount Oval development with homes and apartments dating back to the 800s — dates back about 50 years, and there has been increasing turnover as families moved on or trades went down .
No. 24 Mount Ovel came up for sale two years ago, just as Covid hit, with an AMV of €595,000 being offered for a 1,658 sq ft, four bed family home and the price register shows it will make €520,000 in 2021.

Previous, relatively recent prices paid here range from €585,000 for #3 to €610,000 for #15 (2014), and #4 achieved a record-breaking €670,000 in 21 21.
Now size and conditions vary here: some of the original Mount Ovel homes span over 2,000 square feet, and one owned by an architect peaked on the market at $1.5 million in the mid-2000s — a price level that was very is unlikely.
mature garden
Priced less than 50% of this runaway boom time total, #25 is across the street, faces south and has an attached garage.
It is 1,722 square feet and manages to fit in five first floor bedrooms, two being singles and three being decently sized doubles, plus a main family bathroom and one en suite.
On the ground floor there is a large main reception room, approximately 12 x 25ft with a fireplace, as well as a study, kitchen, utility room and powder room, and a side hallway connecting the house to an attached garage. Upgrade/conversion scope.
Black and white kitchen
While acknowledging the traditional layout, auctioneer Jackie Cohalan says the home has been “loved for decades but is now ready for the next phase; a 21st century transformation where space and light are paramount.”
The soil is very mature, as befits gardens that have been allowed to mature gently over the decades, and at the bottom is a small, oval-shaped swimming pool with a diving board, which has hardly been used for years but could be imaginatively recreated during the pandemic times swing towards more enjoyment of gardens, outdoor spaces and garden entertainment options.
: Take the plunge.
