DUBLIN 4: €2.25M:At 236sq m (2,540sq ft) this semi is larger than it looks. Over the years it has been extended to the back and side to make room for a larger kitchen and a conservatory. While the style of the house is interesting, it's the location, on a quiet tree-lined street just off the Merrion Road in the heart of Dublin 4 that will add extra appeal.
The deep entrance porch with its black and white tiled floor provides a welcoming and distinctive entrance.
Downstairs there are three reception rooms as well as an eat-in kitchen and a lean-to conservatory. The diningroom and livingroom are joined by sliding doors as was originally intended.
To the side there’s another more informal livingroom which opens into the kitchen as does the back garden via double doors. It has a large roof light, new timber flooring and a fireplace. There is also a small TV room.
Upstairs, the four bedrooms are double sized with the largest having an en suite shower-room.
The house has been well maintained and updated.
It’s clearly been the home of someone who enjoys the garden and to the front the cobblelock driveway is fringed with a collection of shrubs. The back garden has a patio area just outside the kitchen and conservatory while the rest of the garden is private and filled with greenery.
