It has off-street parking at the front and is now double fronted with aluminium glazing and pedestrian side access to the back.
The house has everything family life needs.
It opens into a parquet-floored hall with a cloakroom to the right where school bags and sports kits can live out of sight.
The same flooring is carried throughout. To the left is a sitting room with a window seat at the front.
What will wow buyers is the open plan living cum kitchen at the back of the house.
This large space has a courtyard lightwell at its centre, creating a natural break between the lounge and the eat-in kitchen that opens out to the garden.
There is space for kids to gather and do homework or help with dinner preparation, and when done, climb into the comfy seats and hang out.
If they have friends over, they can commandeer the sitting room at the front or take it outside to a tiled patio that steps down into a lawned garden that is bounded by specimen shrubs.
There is pedestrian side access here too, great for those on bikes or scooters.
The house has added 102 square metres of space across its two floors in a very smart design with a sense of flow and consideration that is complemented by bespoke cabinetry and built-in storage by Agata Design Studio.
The kitchen has task lighting to outline the blue and blond wood mix of wall units with a white, full-height splashback.
In contrast, the island has a blond wood waterfall breakfast counter, white base units and a slim countertop.
Strip lighting is used to outline its form.
Overhead, a long rooflight washes the space in daylight, helped by a long, near floor-to-ceiling window.
Off the kitchen is a utility room that doubles as a pantry and houses all the countertop appliances, helping to keep the main space clutter-free.
There’s room here too, for a dining table to comfortably seat eight, where a second rooflight washes it in natural light, combined with the light coming in through the courtyard and from the floor-to-ceiling glass end wall with sliding doors outside.
The patio is spacious enough to accommodate large L-shaped seating.
There are four double bedrooms upstairs.
The principal bedroom is dual aspect and has a walk-through wardrobe to its ensuite shower room.
The other three doubles share the family bathroom.
There is another shower room downstairs.
The B1 BER-rated property, which extends to 183 square metres, is seeking €689,000 through agents LWK Premium Collection.
This amounts to a per square metre cost of €3,755 for a home in turn-key condition.
