Double height makes home twice as nice

Dublin 4/€ 2.2m: Tom Day of Lisney is guiding €2

Dublin 4/€ 2.2m: Tom Day of Lisney is guiding €2.2 million for a modern three-storey house at 67 Sydney Parade Avenue that's set for auction on October 26th.

The four-bedroom house has its livingroom on the first floor leading to a double height conservatory that spans the back of the house, making the most of the southerly aspect. With a total floor area of 232sq m (2,500sq ft), the layout includes an open-plan kitchen-cum-livingroom that also leads out to the conservatory.

Part of a short terrace of houses set well back from the road, close to the junction with Strand Road and the beach, number 67 would suit as either a family home or as an investment. According to Lisney, it could be rented out at around €4,000 a month, possibly to an embassy, given its location and the fact that it has lots of space for entertaining.

There is plenty of off-street car-parking and a 68ft back garden. Inside, a wide hallway has the diningroom on the left, leading through double doors to the kitchen - a big comfortable room with a fireplace. There is a utility room off it.

Upstairs, a bedroom with an en suite shares the first floor with the drawingroom, while there are three further bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor. There is also a study at this level and it could easily make a fifth bedroom.

There is plenty of storage space throughout the house with fitted wardrobes and shelving in the bedrooms.
