A contemporarised two-bed in the Coombe, in pristine condition with an ideal roof terrace, is seeking €565,000
In the current market, a home in walk-in condition presents better value for money than having to pay for builders and materials to deliver a first-class finish.
For those who can afford to pay the premium for such properties, number 11 Reginald Street, in the heart of Dublin’s Liberties, is a smart buy.
It has been sleekly upgraded to open its 75 square metres up and make the most of its well-proportioned footprint.
The layout now has an open entrance hall that leads through to a living room.
There is a dining area to the front overlooking the street, where you can watch the world go by.
The lounge is in the centre of the house.
In it is a large sofa set under the stairs and a cast-iron fireplace, complete with open hearth, in the style that is original to the house, and at a slight angle, which is typical of this style of terraced house.
The rest of the room is simply appointed.
This allows the artworks on the wall to command attention.
There’s an internal galley kitchen to the rear, lit from above by a rooflight.
Throughout, there are polished timber floorboards.
The Danish timber is stained a fashionably rich cognac colour, and the combination of it with the mid-century furniture and feature wall.
The property’s only bathroom, with a shower in the bath, is beside the kitchen.
There’s a black and white tiled yard filled with vertical planting and painted exterior walls in soft greens.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a roof terrace.
The outside is accessed from the second bedroom, currently used as a home office cum guest room.
The renovation includes the installation of solar panels, which help heat the water.
Agents Felicity Fox is seeking €565,000 for the C1 Ber-rated, two-bedroom, one-bathroom terraced house.
