Dublin 6 €4.3m:A house on Northbrook Road in Ranelagh, that has been lived in by the same family for over 50 years, comes to the market today with an AMV of €4.3 million prior to auction on March 14th.

Sherry FitzGerald is handling the sale of the three-storey redbrick which has a large back garden complete with garage that has access from a laneway. The AMV will surely make it attractive to those buyers not quite able to stretch to Palmerston Road or even to Ailesbury Road, where a similar house would fetch over €10 million.

Number 23 is a real period piece with its superb plasterwork, original fireplaces and old sash windows and shutters. The layout is traditional: two very good reception rooms and a study at hall level, four or five bedrooms, and a self-contained flat on the ground floor. All this, and its central location should ensure a hectic auction.
