Ranelagh: €1.5m A three-bedroom Victorian house on one of Ranelagh's most popular streets carries an AMV of €1.5 million prior to auction through Felicity Fox on October 12th.

Number 52 Lower Beechwood Avenue is traditionally laid out with interconnecting doors dividing the front drawingroom from the diningroom.

A bay window in the former allows the evening sun to stream through. Matching marble fireplaces further balance this brace of rooms.

French doors lead down some steps to a second living area, which has direct access to the 60ft east-facing garden. The room includes a fitted gas fire and maple storage. The galley kitchen is sequestered behind another French door and is small in size. It also contains maple units and granite countertops and has separate access to the garden.

One bedroom is located on the return as is the utility room and the bathroom. The main bedroom is on the first floor and spans the length of the house. Its spacious en suite shower room is situated to the back and offers oodles of natural morning light - essential to apply make-up properly.

Granite-topped surfaces and maple panelling mirror the extensive built-in wardrobes and storage available in this room. The third bedroom is adjacent.

The property was owned by architect Hugh Wallace, who sold it to the present owner in 2001. The look and feel of the property hasn't changed since this sale. It is pared-back simplicity throughout.

While it's in pristine condition, the colour scheme could do with an update and families might prefer to reintegrate the kitchen back into the livingroom to re-establish it as a singular yet separate, self-contained space.

The mood throughout is blonde and bright but it might be interesting to update the property's personality by delving into its dark side, for instance, a simple restaining of the floorboards would offer an immediate and tonal transformation.

There is on-street, residential parking, with cars parked bumper to bumper on both sides of this street at night.
