Dublin 18: €1.4mA modern detached home in Foxrock, Dublin 18, which has undergone a complete transformation, including the installation of a first floor sauna, is for sale by private treaty with Douglas Newman Good asking €1.4 million.

Laurleen is a quiet estate of redbrick houses with no through traffic at the Leopardstown end of Foxrock, convenient to Sandyford/Stillorgan Luas stations. Number 12 has been extended and revamped to capitalise on space and light.

Individual features, such as interior panelled doors with spherical glass handles, epitomise the high finish and attention to detail throughout.

The ground floor layout of four reception rooms makes for versatile living. A traditional front-facing livingroom is separated from a rear dining or family room by double doors. The rear room opens into a large open-plan extension, with high ceiling, polished porcelain floor, large windows and rear garden access.

A fourth reception room off the open living area has a square bay window and could serve as a playroom, study, office or diningroom. The good-sized working kitchen incorporated in the open-plan has high ceilings and a Velux window, and state-of-the-art equipment including an integrated Kupperburrsh oven and hob. Cream gloss cupboards with granite worktops tick all the boxes for their thoughtful features, such as carousels, glazed non-see-through display cabinets and cushion close drawers. There is a utility nearby, and toilet and cloakroom off the hall.

Each of the first floor bedrooms has a handsome wardrobe. The en suite to the main bedroom has a steam shower with speakers and is completely tiled with a blonde colour theme. Its look and style is replicated in the larger main bathroom, whose bath incorporates a power shower. A fifth bedroom has become a sauna. The front garden is landscaped with gravel and cobblelock and provides off-street car-parking. There is a side entrance, and the south-west facing rear garden, also landscaped, sports a new wooden workshop/shed.
