Built in 1920, the house is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Dublin 8. It extends to 58 square metres and has a C BER rating.
Well-presented, the front door opens directly into the sitting room, which has laminate wooden flooring and is painted a soothing off-white colour that contrasts nicely with the warming pinkish hue crowning the ceiling.
The sofa is set underneath the stairs, across from an inset stove with a simple timber mantle above.
The open plan space is dual aspect, leading through to the dining area and kitchen, which is fitted with sleek, grey-painted cabinets, an electric hob, a washing machine and a dishwasher.
Sliding glass doors wash the kitchen in plenty of natural light and lead out to a small courtyard.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms on either side of the landing. One is painted green and features an avian print wallpaper. The other has plain white walls and a built-in wardrobe in eye-catching red.
