DUBLIN 6 and 8: €495,000 and €550,000: Two neat homes – one on Greenville Terrace, D8, another at Kenilworth Square, D6 – have a Tardis appeal
A HOUSE AT 54 Greenville Terrace (pictured right), tucked into the network of streets to the west of Clanbrassil Street, Dublin 8, has been refurbished to give a sense of apartment living in a Victorian frame.
Contemporary comfort factors include surround-sound and underfloor heating in bathrooms.
To the front of the house, which is for sale at €550,000 through Felicity Fox, is a reception room with open fire, fitted bookshelves and oak floors: a separate livingroom has a pebble-effect gas fire.
The kitchen is fitted with beech and cream laminate units and is given lots of natural light through its extensive glazing and French windows onto a decked, south-east facing courtyard.
The second bedroom also has glazed doors opening onto this outdoor area.
The main bedroom, to the rear, has a shower en suite and, as with the other bedroom, built-in wardrobes. The main bathroom is brightened by a Velux and comes with a Jacuzzi bath and Triton power shower.
This house would suit someone looking for a centrally located house without stairs.
The two-storey thin house at 83c Kenilworth Square (pictured left) shows how we could intensify building in the city, as it sits in the walkways between two houses (you’d wonder where 83a and b are).
To the front of the sweet, gingerbread-like house – for sale at €495,000 with Sherry FitzGerald – is the kitchen and to the back is the long, thin living/diningroom, with maple floor and fireplace, that opens onto a similarly shaped, 31ft garden.
Upstairs is a main bedroom overlooking the garden as well as a second bedroom and a bathroom that scoops in light through skylights, there is also a guest wc.
