Dublin 4 €1.2m:In walk-in condition and with many extras - including valuable off-street parking in this busy location - a revamped Victorian makes a convenient and classy city townhouse, writes Rose Doyle.
Ready and waiting, its rooms immaculately made-over in shades of cream and white, number 46 Upper Grand Canal Street in Dublin 4 is a Victorian house in walk-in condition.
Located in the centre of a very 21st century part of Dublin, within sight of Google's European headquarters and the Gasworks complex, it's been carefully refurbished so that original features - panelled doors, plasterwork, high ceilings and arches - remain integral to the style and design for living.
Built in 1870, this is every inch a townhouse.
The floorboards in many rooms, and in the hallway, have been stripped and varnished. Newly fitted carpets are beige coloured.
There's a nice 65ft long rear garden too, with a paved patio alongside the kitchen and a landscaped stretch bordered by trees which ends in a granite wall made higher by a trellis and climbing plants.
Number 46 has a floor area covering 130sq m (1,400sq ft) which is divided into four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfastroom.
There's off-street car-parking to the front, a real plus in this part of town.
Sherry FitzGerald is looking after the private treaty sale and is quoting an asking price of €1.2 million.
The main bedroom, good-sized and off the first floor landing, is made interesting by a rear window which has a direct and full view of the converted Victorian gasworks.
It's made practical by a wall of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower.
There are two other bedrooms off this landing to the front of the house and a fourth, as well as a family bathroom, on a return.
The main living/dining reception rooms are divided by double, fold-back doors and have functioning, cast-iron fireplaces as well as original ceiling plasterwork.
The floor tiles in the kitchen are of a rustic, terracotta style and outside the window there's a sheltered cherry tree getting ready to blossom.
