A large family home at 2 Granville Road in Blackrock, which comes complete with an outdoor swimming-pool, is for auction by HOK residential on May 9th. It is guiding in excess of £700,000 (€889,000).
The house, which is called Karersee, has five bedrooms and would be ideal for a growing family. It is on 0.5 of an acre of mature gardens.
Downstairs there is a spacious hall and a large livingroom which opens into a sunroom. The kitchen opens into a breakfast area and there is a utility room.
The house was built in the 1960s and extended in the 1970s, when an extra wing was added to one side to make room for a garage and a large bedroom. Four of the five bedrooms are doubles and the fifth is a small single. Dublin Bay can be seen over the rooftops from three of the bedrooms; the main bedroom opens on to a balcony. As well as the figure of eight swimming-pool, the back garden has a patio area and is lined with mature trees. The front garden has parking for four cars.
Karersee has been lived in by the same family since it was built and some of the decor is now dated. New owners will almost certainly do some work on the house, starting with the kitchen.
