DUBLIN 8: €525,000ANYONE LOOKING for a quiet life should pay 9 Reuben Avenue in Rialto a visit. The two-bedroom terraced house is set in a blissfully peaceful cul-de-sac just off Dolphin's Barn crossroads.
The 73sq m (790sq ft) of very well considered house has oodles of flow and is bright and thoughtfully decorated throughout.
It is for sale by private treaty through Douglas Newman Good with an asking price of €525,000.
The property has two adjoining reception rooms. The front room has its original fireplace and floorboards, while the back room ticks the lounge box and includes a feature wall of colour and a tall set of French doors that lead out to a deck, where sunworshippers can enjoy the rays in the west-facing garden.
Steps down from the deck lead into the rest of the low maintenance city-size space.
The garage to the back of the property has vehicular rear access and would make the perfect artist's studio or home office - you could even install the business entrance in the lane. It is not yet renovated.
The diningroom has large format French doors that also offer access into the garden. The galley kitchen is small but well-appointed.
Upstairs, the bathroom is on the first floor return and there are two roomy double bedrooms on the first floor.
The main bedroom has had a bite taken out of it to accommodate the staircase that leads to the attic room, which creates a cosy niche for the bed.
The attic room offers additional sleeping quarters and is light and airy thanks to white painted floorboards and the installation of a large Velux window.
