Milltown/€1.475m:Milltown, Dublin 6, has the joy of the Dodder running through it and, as a consequence, one of the best walking stretches in the Dublin suburbs. Number 47 Ramleh Park, part of a mature development comfortably secluded from the main Milltown Road, has views of the Dodder valley as well as distant mountains from its back windows.
Built in the early 1930s, the 148sq m (1,590sq ft) three-bedroom house and its semi-detached neighbour kicked off the Ramleh development. It isfor sale by private treaty through Gunne for €1.475 million.
It's a well-cherished home. The vendor, a building contractor, has added comfort and size with a sunroom to the rear, integrated the garage to create a large utility room, converted the attic and updated elsewhere with wooden floors and fittings.
The adjoining reception rooms are bright, and run from the front to the back of the house, linked through a square arch. A glass door opens into the sunroom, which in turn opens into the garden. The original cornicing in these rooms has been conscientiously replicated.
There are cherrywood fittings and black marble worktops in the revamped kitchen. The sunroom has a ceramic tiled floor, a pair of Velux windows and wall of windows overlooking the landscaped rear garden. The best, and quite sweeping, Dodder valley views are from the rear bedroom. The main bedroom is at the front and a third bedroom is used as an office. A family bathroom has a Jacuzzi and separate shower.
There is a gazebo in the back garden and, through an arch to a secret garden, a decent-sized Barna shed. The gravelled front garden has off-street parking.
