Dublin 7: €450,000Sherry FitzGerald is seeking offers over €450,000 for a nicely restored period residence on Glenard Avenue, Dublin 7.
One of 12 houses on a quiet cul-de-sac off Ellesmere Avenue, which runs parallel to the Old Cabra Road, number 6 is within striking distance of the Phoenix Park and Arbour Hill Luas stop.
The current owners have transformed this perfectly ordinary 1900s terraced redbrick into a smart three-bed home.
Clever use has been made of the 126 sq m (1,360 sq ft) of living space and great attention has been paid to ensure that the period features of this house, which dates from 1910, have been kept intact.
Off the bright hall with understairs storage is a livingroom with sash windows, ceiling coving, slate fireplace with tiled inset and polished wooden floors.
An arch leads into a smart diningroom. This in turn leads into a modern kitchen/breakfast room. With contemporary black fitted units, solid wooden counter top, original terracotta-and-black tiled floor and integrated fridge, dishwasher and oven, this room is a clever mix of old and new. French doors lead to the rear garden. A guest toilet completes the downstairs accommodation.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two doubles and one single. All have cast-iron fireplaces and two have polished wooden floors and sash windows.
A family bathroom, with bath and shower attachment, has a tiled floor and partially tiled walls.
To the front is a small railed garden and to the rear is a garden with a lawn and patio area. In walk-in condition and with the convenience of the Luas, number 6 would suit professionals looking for a smart city pad.
