Dublin 8: €1.2mNumber 24 Camden Row is an architect designed villa-style terraced property for sale by private treaty through Felicity Fox asking €1.2 million.
The house is roomy with a sleek interior that manages to retain essential family home values. There is polished solid oak flooring throughout.
Just off Camden Street, Camden Row is a quiet side street that belies its slick city centre location.
The smart interior is simplicity itself - the devil being in the detail. At hall level is a traditional-style reception room with simple period features, a cast iron fireplace and built-in bookcases.
Beyond this is an internal, galley-style, kitchen with partial double height ceiling. The units include larder, roll-up fronts and sliding drawer storage. An open hatch offers views into the living room as well as facilitating a breakfast bar on its other side. These slits take a leaf out of Newgrange's book as they were designed to direct sun into the kitchen at different times of the day.
An oak-clad doorway creates a porch-effect that leads into the double-height living room. The porch was designed to conceal the doorway and hide the room's oodles of shelving.
The diningroom wall is dressed in exposed English 'overburns' brick, adding warmth and texture to this open-plan space. Clever recessed lighting at roof level adds extra illumination. Extensive glazing on the rear wall keeps the room light-filled and there is direct garden access via a set of outside steps.
The patio garden is paved in Indian sandstone with pots of mature planting adding colour accents.
Downstairs there are three double bedrooms with plenty of storage both in the rooms and in the hall. The master is located to the front where it looks out at a small planted area, filled with lavender, and the original granite steps that lead back up to street level.
There is a small-but-perfectly-functional en suite shower room that has natural light. Parking is on-street with a residential permit.
