Phibsboro: €500,000-plus: Offers are rolling in for 41 Cabra Park, the Phibsboro home of photographer and stylist Barbara Egan and a good example of how an imaginative interior can influence a sale.

Such is the interest that Douglas Newman Good is now quoting in excess of €500,000 by private treaty for number 21.

This perfectly ordinary Dublin 7 terraced redbrick has been transformed into a very smart light-filled home which has ended up on the pages of more than one interiors magazine.

Clean white walls, wooden blinds and floors and simple high-tech lighting throughout the house have produced an uncluttered Zen look.

Partitions have been removed on the first floor to create a wonderful open-plan livingroom/ kitchen with slate fireplace, timber floors, half a wall of thick bookshelves and unusual metal support beams.

A south-facing sunroom on the landing has a bright tiled floor and access to a decked area.

Two double bedrooms with polished wood floors - one with a fireplace -- are on the ground floor and a utility room and guest toilet are also here.

Occupying the top of the house is a huge main bedroom with cast-iron fireplace and paint-washed floor.

Possibly the most stunning room in the house is the bathroom, with its pretty fireplace, free-standing cast-iron bath supported on wood blocks and smart contemporary wash-hand basin.

The fair-sized south-facing back garden comes as a bonus. This has pedestrian access and is decked, with raised flower borders and a garden shed.

Take a look, but you'll have to be quick.
