Glasnevin/€625,000: Number 2 St Davids Terrace, a redbrick on a row of neat Victorian homes with surprisingly grand interiors hidden behind the Meteorological Office in Glasnevin, Dublin 9, is to be auctioned on July 7th. Lisney is quoting a guide price of €625,000.
The 10ft 8in high ceilings in the entrance hall create an instant wow factor as soon as you walk in the door.
The effect is heightened by the honey toned and chocolate walls and an ornate archway. The hall also features an antique radiator, original floor boards and steps down to the rear kitchen area.
Number 2 has been extended to 129 sq m (1,400 sq ft) and has four double bedrooms. The interconnecting main reception rooms are well proportioned and have original floorboards and cast-iron fireplaces. The drawingroom has two large sash-like windows overlooking the front garden and the diningroom looks onto a magical rear garden.
The kitchen/diningroom is another large room with a part-timber floor in the dining area and a stone tile floor in the kitchen. The extended kitchen area has recessed spot lighting and two Velux roof lights. Equipped to cater for a big family, there is a vast range of fitted units and a number of integrated appliances including a dishwasher and double fridge/ freezer. There is also a shower room at ground floor level.
The main bathroom is on the first floor return and has an antique toilet with pull chain and wall mounted cistern, part tiled walls, a bath and a shower. A double bedroom at this level is currently used as a study. The remaining three double bedrooms are on the main landing.
The back garden is an immaculately arranged space with a paved area and steps to a winding gravel path and neat lawn fringed with colourful plants, shrubs and flowers and bounded by high stone walls for privacy. A wooden deck at the end of the garden overlooks a well stocked fishpond with a water feature. The pretty front garden is railed. Parking is on street.
