A builder-owned and upgraded terraced house that’s gone up a floor and installed that most boujie of garden must-haves, a sauna.
Builder Finn Mason has maximised his terraced house in Walkinstown by going up a floor to turn the two-storey house into a three-storey, four-bedroom, three-bathroom home.
He also upgraded the fabric of the property to deliver a B2 Ber-rated house that is in turnkey condition.
Address: 61 Saint Peter's Road, Walkinstown, Dublin 12, D12CD6X
Asking price: €595,000
Agent: HWP Residential
He bought the house for €390, 000 in September 2021, according to the property price register, a time when building works were under Covid restrictions.
It measured 92 square metres. Now extending to 110 square metres, every centimetre of space has been optimised in the D12 house, where he’s lived since completing the works in 2022.
By adding a Tata steel-clad double dormer, he has turned the two-storey house into a three-storey property and has installed all the fire doors and stairwell set-ups that regulations require.
You can see the smart repurposing of space from the minute you cross the threshold.
The staircase in the smartly tiled hall is now shielded from view by a timber screen.
It’s a small detail, but one that sets the tone for the rest of the refurbishment.
There’s a bright living room to the front.
At the back is the eat-in kitchen, which features liquorice grey cabinetry from The Panelling Centre and has large sliding doors out to the back garden.
This is east-facing, features a patio and is laid out in lawn.
A barrel-shaped sauna is the standout feature here, purchased by Finn when he figured it would be cheaper than continuing his sauna habit at local hotspots such as Hot Box in Inchicore
There is a large garage to the rear with both pedestrian and vehicular rear access via the lane at the back.
It remains a blank canvas.
The next owner might use it as a craft room or artist’s studio, or even a kid’s gaming room.
On the first floor, the accommodation extends to two large doubles on the first floor, along with a large single and a family bathroom
The principal bedroom is on the second floor and has an ensuite bathroom.
Agents HWP Residential is seeking €595,000 for the terraced house, which has also been fully rewired and replumbed and has off-street parking for two vehicles at the front.
