Lucan village is often referred to as Old Lucan, which describes the original village area, much of it retaining its 18th-century estate village layout.
In the centre of the village is Sarsfield Park, a housing estate built in the 1960s within the Old Lucan boundaries, defined by Lucan Road and the River Liffey.
The mature development has green spaces on three sides and schools on two of those three sides.
Number 95 is a C1 BER-rated terraced house that has off-street parking at the front and a pedestrian access to the porched front door.
The downstairs layout features a separate kitchen and living room, along with a good-size utility that opens directly to the back garden.
The pattern of the tiled hall continues through to the utility, drawing the eye through the house.
The house is set on a north-south axis so the kitchen, which is at the front, gets morning light. Its shaker-style cabinets are set in an L-shape and painted the softest, whispering pale grey.
A feature wall with a fern-patterned paper brings in an injection of colour, and there’s space for a small table for two in this eat-in space.
The living room is at the back of the house. The square-shaped space has seating set around a wood-burning stove and double doors leading directly out to the south-facing back.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single.
The primary is painted in a dark and moody colourscape that evokes a restful ambiance.
The second double has been papered in a floral pattern up to its coving.
The third bedroom has been set up as a luxurious dressing room.
The back garden is south-facing and a good size. It includes a raised deck with potted plants and specimen shrubs, and a planter running along one boundary wall. The rest of the garden is laid out in gravel with a stepping stone path down to the raw gym.
This is housed in a shed that spans the width of the property and has bare concrete floors and an exposed ceiling. In the darkest winter, you’ll have to do some jumping jacks to warm up before your workout.
DNG Lucan is seeking €410,000 for the property, which extends to 72 square metres.
