Dublin 8: €450,000Hiding behind the classic redbrick facade of this Dublin 8 house is an interior that has been given the architecture treatment: rendering it light, open-plan and full of built-in storage.

Number 22 Reginald Street in Dublin 8, for sale at €450,000 through Sherry FitzGerald, has "architect" written all over it, from the Mies van der Rohe chair in the sittingroom to the liberal use of Artemide Tolomeo lights.

These will all be departing with the owners, who are partners in FKL Architects (although can be easily replaced by hot-footing it to Bob Bushell or Design Classics Direct) but what will be left are designer fixtures and fittings such as walnut flooring, a balcony with opaque glass surround opening off the kitchen and lots of bookshelves.

Off the entrance hall are two bedrooms, one of which has doors leading out to a patio. The bathroom, also on this floor, is decorated with flat white tiles.

Upstairs the livingroom centres on a pared white Carrera marble fireplace. This room leads to the kitchen which has an oak worktop, white units and a steel Siemens hob and oven. Access to the private balcony here, with its high screen, offers the possibility hot-day meals outside.

There will be open viewing of the house this Saturday from 1pm to 2pm.
