Large family semi near city and Luas

Rathmines: €1.9m Number 16 Merton Road, Rathmines, Dublin 6 - called Suaimhneasis - is a four-bedroom detached house for auction through Lisney on March 9th with a guide of €1.9 million.

The semi-detached house was built in 1928 and has only had two owners. It's very much a family house with 238 sq m (2,562 sq ft) and a 33-metre back garden. The present owners extended into the integrated garage making a home office and adding a conservatory. They also converted an upstairs bedroom into an en suite bathroom for the main bedroom.

Downstairs off the good-sized hall are the study to one side and two interconnecting rooms on the other. These rooms are fine, large rooms with high ceilings.

There is a large breakfastroom with a small kitchen area off it and the conservatory opens off this room.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family shower room. The back garden has been well looked after and the owners have created a patio area at the end.

This is a quiet road with easy access to the Luas - there's a station at the end of the road.
