Extending to 78 square metres, the property has been required and replumbed, with new double-glazed windows and new internal and external doors.
Insulation levels were upgraded, so this 1970s-build now has a C1 Ber-rating and a subtle monochrome décor mood.
It has new flooring throughout and new bathrooms, delivering a home where you can simply unpack your bags and exhale.
It has off-street parking to the front and opens into a roomy hall, where a timber beam balustrade has been painted railings black.
The wall has been similarly treated to wainscot level, and there is a guest w.c under the stairs. A black and white herringbone-patterned stair runner adds polish.
The living room is at the front, its chimney breast and ceiling crowned in a shadow blue.
A large, framed mirror creates an optical illusion of greater depth of field and bounces light off every wall. Underfoot is a parquet-patterned floor.
The alcoves have floating shelves and matching cabinets, while a raised electric fire adds visual warmth.
The kitchen is at the back and has a utility nook off it.
Featuring new cabinetry throughout, it has mallow pink cupboards while the kitchen is a mix of pale birch timber units below the counter and shaker-style doors above, picked out in smokey blue.
Smoked glass full-height splashbacks also play with the same mirroring effect that features in the living room.
Here it is seductive rather than reflective.
The floor here is tiled in a Victorian-style pattern, a look that is carried outdoors to the back garden, where raised beds are clad in the same pattern, as is the block-built bin surround, designed to withstand inclement weather.
There is pedestrian side access to the front.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, along with the family bathroom.
The bathroom has an L-shaped bath that gives you the feeling of a large shower stall in a washspace where there isn’t room to fit both a bath and a separate shower.
The patterned tiles on the walls and floor also cover the side of the bath to bring in colour in a very crisp way.
The principal has been panelled to dado rail height in a soft mint green.
The second double has timber battens affixed to the walls and painted in spring pastel shades.
The third room is a nursery for the owners' eight-month-old.
They’re looking for more space and a larger garden.
Agents Hunter’s is seeking €625,000 for the property, which last sold in March 2024 for €484,000, according to the property price register.
This was before all the upgrades outlined.
