Ranelagh: €1.7mA bay-windowed Victorian redbrick at 40 Edenvale Road, a quiet, tree-lined street off Beechwood Road in Ranelagh, Dublin 6, is for sale by private treaty through Sherry FitzGerald with an asking price of €1.7 million.

Like much of Ranelagh's housing stock, number 40 is a recently renovated family home, extended and upgraded by the present owners.

The result is a very secluded residence, thanks in part to the retention of the high hedge to the front of the property.

The well-balanced interconnecting front reception rooms have twin stylish black marble fireplaces and retain all their other period features. They need little by way of decoration.

The frame of the original back window acts as the entrance to the softly modern kitchen/diningroom.

Glass double doors open onto an extremely elegant diningroom with glass side walls. French doors lead from it into the west-facing low-maintenance garden. The kitchen has Neff appliances as well as Artic Brown granite worktops. There is an adjoining family room.

Upstairs there are three big double bedrooms. The property originally had four bedrooms; amalgamation of two small singles on the hall return into a sizeable twin room makes good sense.

A roomy family bathroom with separate shower and bath is also on the return. It has an original stained glass window, which is one of two in the property.

The main bedroom is the width of the house. Both it and the other double have impressive built-in storage.

The garden is paved in Indian sandstone and is framed by box hedging. It also features a mature weeping beech tree.

Edenvale Road is a peaceful setting - and that peace and calm is likely to continue since next door neighbours on one side recently refurbished their home and number 40's other neighbour is in the final stages of renovation.

Parking is on street.
