Clonskeagh/€650,000: Neo-Georgian in style with pillared porticos, number 2 Yale, Ardilea, Clonskeagh, Dublin 14, is a semi-detached redbrick typical of the late l970s period in which it was built.
A solid family home in the leafy privacy of what is now a mature development, number 2 is filled with light inside and has three bedrooms, one of them en suite, two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfastroom and a garage. It has 125 sq m (1,350 sq ft) of floor space.
Agent Douglas Newman Good is quoting a guide €650,000 prior to auction on September 23rd.
The livingroom, which runs from the front to the rear of the house, is light-filled. It has a curved bow window to the front and French window opening to the garden at the rear. There is a wall of glass panelling along the reception hallway, where there is a guest toilet.
The gas-fired white marble fireplace has a black, polished granite inset.
A new owner might want to update the decor - an aqua-green carpet which extends to the diningroom, hallway and stairs and satin-finish off-white wallpaper.
The compact diningroom overlooks the rear garden and leads through to the kitchen-cum-breakfastroom. This has a range of timber, wall and floor units and decorative wall and splashback tiling. There is a double oven, tiled floor and window overlooking the garden.
Upstairs, off a landing with hot press, there are two bedrooms overlooking the rear garden. Both have fitted wardrobes with louvred doors.
The main bedroom has two windows to the front and two sets of wardrobes with louvred doors. The large en suite is in shades of lilac, with decorative tiling. Shades of green have been used in the family bathroom.
High hedging and trees edge the 56 ft. long rear garden and give privacy. There are beds with plants and shrubs along either side and a paved patio close to the house.
The front garden has a rosebed and lawn as well as a separate driveway to the garage in which there is space to park at least two cars.
The good-sized garage, which is used for storage as well as parking, could be converted to make more living space.
