Dublin 6: €1.15m & €1.35mBehind the redbrick façade of a Victorian villa-style house at 16 Annesley Park, Ranelagh, Dublin 6 is a contemporary easy-living home with a lot of its period style and most of its features intact.

Agent Sherry FitzGerald is quoting a guide price of €1.15 million in advance of its auction on July 8th.

The house is located on Annesley Park, in a prime position off fashionable Dunville Avenue. Built in the mid-1880s, it has 130sq m (1,400sq ft) of floor space and generously proportioned rooms.

Split over three levels, the house has been well maintained and extended by the current owners, whose family have lived here for 55 years.

Many period features are still intact in the house including high ceilings, sash windows, ceiling coving and fireplaces.

A striking and elegant drawingroom to the front of the house has polished timber floors and original marble fireplace and cornicing. A guest toilet is also found at this level.

Down a small flight of stairs is a long family area with a multi-fuel burning stove set in an exposed brick chimney surround. This leads into a modern Shaker-style kitchen which overlooks the garden. There is a good range of fitted and floor units in the kitchen and a dining area.

Off the kitchen is a lobby which in turn leads to a large family bathroom and a utility room.

At the rear is a bright diningroom with double doors leading out to the back garden.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a single room.

To the front of the house is a neat railed garden with pedestrian side access to the rear garden which is mainly in lawn with two patio areas.

Number 16 is close to all the Ranelagh hot spots including the Luas stop at Beechwood Avenue and a selection of good schools.
