Castlewood Avenue links Ranelagh to Rathmines and while it is a busy road, many of its houses including this one are set back from the road which reduces the traffic noise.

Number 29, dating from 1870, and with a footprint of 216sq m, is an elegant property at the end of the terrace. This means it has the added benefit of a pedestrian side entrance and vehicular access to a garage from Castlewood Park.

Currently laid out with two reception rooms and six bedrooms, new owners may want to alter the layout to accommodate more living space.

A special feature of the property are the striking ceiling roses, of which there are three in the front hallway, and ornate coving with Greek Key motif in the reception rooms.

Both rooms have wooden flooring, original marble fireplaces, and are flooded with light from the house’s south facing garden.

The kitchen on the return is something of a surprise; and has modern twists with grey and mustard units, stainless steel countertops and deep lilac walls.

The garden level has its own access from the front into a very spacious hallway.

Currently there are two bedrooms and a utility at this level, but a good architect could transform this area into an open plan kitchen/living area, in keeping with current trends.

The 33m-long rear garden leads to a garage which could be converted like neighbours have done, subject to planning.

Number 29, with many of its original features intact, is a fine family home and is for sale through Sherry FitzGerald with an asking price of €1.35 million.
