Dún Laoghaire: €1.2m Tivoli Terrace South is a quiet mature road, part courtesy of a one-way traffic system, situated a few minutes walk from Dún Laoghaire town centre.
Built in 1828, Lisadell, 11 Tivoli Terrace South, is a handsome semi-detached late Georgian home with two storeys over garden level. The house will be auctioned on April 28th by HOK Residential guiding €1.2 million.
With 246 sq m (2,650 sq ft) of accommodation, period features - like high ceilings, intricate plaster work, original fireplaces and interior doors - have all been retained. The garden level had been leased as a separate apartment, an arrangement which could resume.
Alternatively, it could be reintegrated into the house, in that its accommodation, light and access would lend itself well to the creation of kitchen and utility rooms, as would have been the case in earlier days. In addition there is space for a play room, informal sittingroom and home office at this level.
Granite steps lead up to the hall door which opens into a good-sized hall furnished with hall stand and occasional chairs. To the right is a double drawingroom whose original marble fireplace has a wrought iron and tiled inset and wonderful brass framed over mantel. Comprehensively furnished, and lit by tall front and rear windows, the room currently serves as drawing and diningroom. Across the hall, a sittingroom decorated in pink has a black marble fireplace with book shelves on either side. Folding doors lead to a small rear kitchen on the same level.
Two steps lead down to the hall floor return consisting of bathroom, toilet and door to the rear garden. The door to the bathroom on the first floor return has an original arched fanlight in stained glass.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor. The main bedroom has its own dressingroom, ideal in size and location for en suite shower conversion.
The garden level comprises hall, livingroom, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. Outside a wide front garden expanse has space for up to eight cars. The walled south-facing rear garden has two patio areas separated by a lawn with flowering borders.
