With a recent conference on transport having been told Dublin gridlock can seriously damage your health, 35 Finn Street, in Stoneybatter, could be the cure for some of your ills.
The two-bedroom terraced house - a stress-relieving 25-minute stroll from O'Connell Bridge - is for sale through Mason Estates in Phibsborough, which is quoting £160,000 (€203,160).
Located off Oxmantown Road, the house is decorated in a light, modern style which creates a feeling of space, and around 650 sq ft of accommodation has been put to good use.
The front door opens into a small hall, which in turn opens into the livingroom. The walls are painted white, while a brick fireplace has chunky wooden shelving to one side. The floor has been stripped and polished, and there is room for a table and chairs. The kitchen, again with white walls and complementary floor units, also has a stripped floor, and clever use has been made of shelving and storage. The Miele oven, along with a fridge and washing machine, are included in the sale.
A small bathroom with electric shower and toilet are located off the kitchen. Here again the floors have been stripped, while the walls are painted in contrasting shades of yellow.
The stairs rise from the back of the livingroom; a multi-paned window throws light on to the landing and into the livingroom below.
The main double bedroom has a stripped floor and a decorative cast-iron fireplace, which is original. The second bedroom, currently used as a study, has a built-in closet.
The house has gas-fired central heating and an alarm. There is a small back yard - but with the Phoenix Park on the doorstep, who needs a garden?
