D6W:/€1.25m:Number 21 Casimir Road in Dublin 6W is a four-bedroom redbrick with a spruced-up interior that is the epitome of Edwardian elegance. Period features include stained glass doors and windows, a recessed porch and outside tiling.
The property has an AMV of €1.25 million and will be auctioned by Gunne on May 2nd.
The ground floor has a sherbet yellow sittingroom with a bay window and ceiling-mounted silk curtains that hug its sides. The property's original sliding doors lead into a formal diningroom, with rectangular table that seats eight. A second pair of double doors opens into a pitched, second sitting area with roof glazing and French doors that carry the flow of the house into its east-facing back garden.
Previously, the main reception rooms were separated from the kitchen by a dividing wall, which the present owners removed. This means there's now room for a dining table in the kitchen. Simple tongued-and-grooved units set in an L-shape have the swish addition of Carrera marble countertops.
Clever design details with an accent on functionality feature throughout. The kitchen floor has a slate walkway inserted into its wood floors to take the wear and tear of a working kitchen. The gas hob is positioned in an old chimneybreast giving the extractor fan direct outdoor access. An extra-wide radiator cabinet in the hall doubles as a console table; a recessed shelf for the television in the sittingroom hides the DVD player and digital television box. The 167sq m (1,798sq ft) house (including the attic) offers oodles of storage solutions.
Off the main kitchen is a small pantry with cupboards full of sliding drawers. This looks directly onto the garden, and is bathed in natural daylight, thanks in part to the insertion of a floor- to-ceiling pane of glass. The utility room is off the pantry.
The family bathroom and guest bedroom are on the first floor return. The main en suite on the first floor, takes up two bedrooms and runs from the front of the house to the back. The bedroom features tongue and groove detailing, expansive wardrobe space, recessed book shelves, reading lights and a slimline vanity unit. The present owners created a curved, panelled wall to divide the bath and bedroom. A small single, currently used as a nursery, is also on this floor.
Upstairs, the owners renovated the attic space to return the property to its original four-bedroom size. Currently a pastel pink paradise, it is the abode of a four-year-old girl and offers her and future owners a walk-in wardrobe of their very own.
