Dublin 13: €1.15m: Kinvara is one of a number of detached dormer bungalows set back from the Dublin Road in Sutton, Dublin 13. Notable for the long sweep of their front gardens, Kinvara and its neighbours were built around 1935 and have views across the bay.
An extension to the rear and conservatory to the side has given Kinvara some 204 sq m (2,200 sq ft) of living space in which there are four bedrooms, four reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfastroom.
Number 71 Dublin Road is being sold by private treaty by Douglas Newman Good, which is quoting a guide of €1.150 million.
In pristine condition and filled with light, Kinvara sits on a third of an acre of gardens lovingly cared for over the 32 years the vendors have lived there.
Steps leading to an elevated patio area around the front entrance place it very much in its period, as do a pair of neat squarish bay windows on the front rooms.
The kitchen/breakfastroom, utilty and a guest toilet are all part of the extension, as is the main en suite bedroom overhead. A wide range of oak fittings, cork flooring and windows overlooking the gardens to the side and rear make for a honey-toned kitchen-cum-breakfastroom. The utility room has a door to the garden.
The four reception rooms are to either side of the spacious hallway. Those to the front serve as drawing and livingrooms. Similar in size and with a bay window apiece, the drawing room has a functioning, creamy-peach marble fireplace while the living room has a gas-fired timber surround fireplace.
The diningroom, with a pale green carpet, is distinguished by a window overlooking and door leading to the conservatory. Partially solid-walled, it is more sunroom than conservatory. Double glass doors lead to an enclosed, side courtyard/patio where sweet pea along a white, pebbled wall and a wandering ivy make the most of mid-summer's growth. The fourth reception room serves as a study/family room.
Sloped ceilings upstairs give a cottage feel to the bedrooms. The main bedroom has windows to the rear and side, and under-eaves storage. Two of the other bedrooms are long shaped and overlook the front.
The fourth has a skylight and fitted wardrobe. The family bathroom is tiled in white with decorative gray touches. It has a bath with shower fitting, wash-hand basin, toilet and glass shelving.
The completely private rear garden has a small bird pool and 70 year old apple tree. To the front there's a long and winding drive past shrubbery and trees to front of house parking for several cars.
