Sherry FitzGerald expects a price in the region of £1.35 million (1.71m) for an attractive semi-detached redbrick at 12 St Kevin's Park in Dartry, Dublin 6. The five-bedroom house, which extends to 2,900 sq ft, is scheduled for auction on October 17th.

A quiet leafy cul-de-sac off Dartry Road, St Kevin's Park is one of the most sought-after addresses in Dublin 6. Lawyers in particular like its respectable Victorian and Edwardian redbricks with their big back gardens.

Dating from the early 1900s, number 12 is on the sunny side of the road and is a corner house with bay windows at the front and to the side. The house has been renovated recently and the main reception rooms have exposed timber floors. Both are fine square high ceilinged rooms with bay windows and timber surround fireplaces. There is also a breakfastroom and kitchen at this level. The first of the bedrooms is on the return along with a bathroom and separate toilet. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, two of them big sunny rooms with bay windows. A flight of stairs leads up to the second return where there is a fifth bedroom and a bathroom.

The 100 ft back garden is well stocked with fruit trees and shrubs. There is a garage with remote-controlled gates and rear access.
