Dublin 6 €1.425m: A townhouse in Mount St Anne's has nearly doubled in value in three years. Fiona Tyrrell reports.

A smart family home at the Mount Saint Anne's scheme in Milltown, Dublin 6, comes to the market this week.

Built four years ago, number 40 Milltown Avenue, Mount St Anne's, is a well-laid out townhouse with 163sq m (1,750sq ft) of space over three floors.

Selling agent Sherry FitzGerald has set an asking price of €1.425 million.

Similar townhouses were sold at Mount Saint Anne's in 2003 for €730,000, showing how capital values have appreciated.

Built by Park Developments on a four-acre site, Mount St Anne's is a highly successful scheme of apartments and houses.

A final phase of apartments is due to be launched this autumn.

Number 40, decked out in lots of whites and neutrals, is an airy and light-filled family home.

A bright entrance leads to a family room and on to a smart kitchen/diningroom with high-gloss kitchen units, granite worktops and Neff appliances.

French doors lead to a beautifully landscaped back garden with two patio areas and a garden shed.

White porcelain tiled floors are found throughout the ground level.

On the first floor, an airy formal sittingroom has a dual aspect and a stone fireplace that runs the length of the house.

Also on this floor are a double bedroom and a showroom.

Three more bedrooms (one en suite) and family bathroom are found on the second floor.

There are two parking spaces at the front of the house. Mount St Anne's is near primary and secondary schools and beside the Milltown Luas stop,
