Booterstown: €800,000 A recently renovated house in Booterstown makes a fine family home, says Orna Mulcahy, Property Editor
Gunne is guiding €800,000 prior to auction on June 16th for a four-bedroom house in walk-in condition at 9 Seafield Close in Booterstown, Co Dublin.
The double-fronted house was substantially renovated by previous owners who discovered a large basement area that they converted into a bar with a counter whose footrail comes from a pub in Rathmines, as well as useful utility space.
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac off the Stillorgan dual-carriageway beside the Montrose Hotel, number 9 is an instantly appealing home of around 153sq m (1,650sq ft). It has two interconnecting reception rooms with a conservatory diningroom overlooking the garden. A terrific kitchen has cream-painted units with stylish black granite-effect worktop and matt black tiling. A family room leads off the hall and, like all the ground floor rooms, it has a handsome hardwood floor.
The basement level is a real bonus with a large utility room and guest cloakroom along with the cosy bar with its terracotta walls and built-in wine racks.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is a big bright room with a box bay window and a large en suite. There are three further bedrooms, one a single.
The walled back garden is sheltered and sunny, with a deck that leads off the conservatory diningroom having steps down to the lawn. Good off-street car-parking in the neatly bricked front driveway completes the package of an immaculate home in a convenient address.
