Dublin 6/€570,000:A yellowbrick house in walk-in condition in Gulistan Place in Rathmines, Dublin 6, has come on the market through Sherry FitzGerald asking €570,000.
The terraced house, which is owned by Irish Timesbusiness journalist Arthur Beesley, has 57sq m (610sq ft ) of living space, with a small patio to the rear.
The current layout was planned by a previous owner and is ideal for a couple about town. The two upstairs bedrooms have been knocked into one large room, while downstairs there's a livingroom, kitchen and bathroom. Space has become tight with a new baby in residence, hence the sale.
One of the main selling points is the location - number 6 is in a quiet cul-de-sac off Mountpleasant Avenue, close to the shops and cafés of Ranelagh and Rathmines, a 25-minute walk from St Stephen's Green, and a five-minute taxi ride, late at night, from the city centre. Mountpleasant Tennis Club is around the corner.
Inside, the house has a light, spacious feel and an uncomplicated decor based on white walls, dark polished floorboards, and splashes of red. Original sash windows let in plenty of light while extra pockets of wall space have been fitted with bookshelves. Both kitchen and bathroom have quality fittings and tiling, so there really is very little for new owners to do. Parking is on-street, with no concessions to residents.
