Dublin 3: €1.9m Looking for all the world like a well-kept but compact bungalow on the outside, 148 Clontarf Road in Dublin 3 holds plenty of surprises in its glorious interior.
Sherry FitzGerald's Killester branch is expecting this entrancing property to appeal to families grading up to a seafront location. The 286sq m (3,783sq ft) four-bedroom house is expected to achieve €1.9 million at auction on October 7th.
Up the garden path, past the pretty cream and blue frontage and you're in an airy hallway with open fireplace which sets the scene for the rest of the house. There is a bay-window sittingroom with open fireplace and doors to a library furnished with bookcases and wood floor.
An upper-level sittingroom with white angled ceiling and warm brick walls opens to a wide balcony with sea views. The attic room could be a playroom and the family bathroom is fitted out to this property's exacting standard.
Ditto the huge kitchen/diningroom, with its stone walls, terracotta floor and smart cream units. Two sets of doors open to a deck. Stone walls are a feature in the main bedroom, which has a vaulted ceiling, en suite shower, walk-in wardrobe and doors to the deck. Three further bedrooms are all doubles.
Most of the 0.25 acres is at the back of the house, where a sylvan garden is sheltered by a variety of trees and flowering shrubs. An enclosed deck with lighting is used for summer dining.
