It opens into a tiled hall with lots of bespoke storage and wainscot panelling that also leads up the stairs, drawing the eye up the stairwell.
Once a traditional two-up, two-down house, it now has a sitting room to the front with a feature cast iron fire surround.
Glass double doors can close this space off from the rear, which is now a large and light-filled broken-plan room.
It has custom cabinetry running its entire length, keeping the space clutter-free. These are topped with quartz worktops.
On the opposite wall, there is a fashionable dining nook that can accommodate up to about five people comfortably. Heliodor green scatter cushions add contrast and comfort.
The dining nook
The lounge area features a moonstone grey sofa that overlooks the small but immaculate city garden. The outside space includes a shed that is painted a pale rose quartz pink. The same colour is used on the pedestrian access gate too, which lets you bring bikes and bins around the back
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is to the front and extends the width of the house.
The second double has a Dutch-style staircase up to an attic room that is also used as a home office.
The family bathroom has a large tub to soak in.
The house was fully refurbished in 2023, including new sash windows and front and back doors by Kells Traditional Windows and Doors.
The B2 Ber-rated house, which extends to 90 square metres, is seeking €875,000 through agents Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty.
