Two properties are for sale at each end of the popular Moyne Road in Ranelagh, one of which has been divided into two flats, writes Alanna Gallagher
Dublin 6: €1.925m
A renovated three-bedroom house at 4 Moyne Road is for sale at €1.925 million through Douglas Newman Good.
The terraced redbrick Victorian house is at the Dunville Avenue end of this popular road. At 162sq m (1,743sq ft) the house is in walk-in condition.
The hallway has polished porcelain tiles that lead the eye directly to the sizable kitchen at the rear. The hall door to the kitchen has been removed which further opens up the back of the property.
Twin reception rooms to the front have matching original black and gilt marble fireplaces and set a stylish tone, one that is apparent throughout the interior.
French doors lead from these traditionally laid out rooms to the large and open-plan kitchen and diningroom.
A lemon yellow, eggshell finished kitchen has black granite worktops and Zanussi appliances and a Franke sink.
Upstairs, there is a single bedroom, or home office, sizable hot press and swish family bathroom on the first floor return.
Two ample bedrooms are on the first floor. The main bedroom is to the front and spans the width of the property.
The second double has two built-in wardrobes and original floorboards.
Outside, the golden gravel and Indian sandstone back garden is west-facing and has a raised decked area for outdoor dining.
There is pedestrian rear access which could be opened up to allow off-street parking (which the next-door neighbours already have).
The property has period features as well as a more recent, yet elegantly tiled, front pathway.
The present owners have put trees in large terracotta planters along this walkway, which adds privacy and goes some way to deflecting the dawn chorus made by Morton's supermarket delivery trucks.
As part of the renovation of this house, the owners have retained its most appealing feature - the warm ambiance of a period property.
