Dublin 4/€950,000: A short stroll from Herbert Park and Donnybrook village, Number 18 Victoria Avenue is a charming three-bedroom end-of-terrace house off Donnybrook Road in Dublin 4.

The owners have successfully managed to marry 19th century period detail with 21st century chic.

Lisney is quoting an advised minimum value (AMV) of €950,000 for the property which is to be auctioned on March 8th.

The house is 93sq m (1,000sq ft) with on-street car-parking - a residential disk permit is available for residents.

The hall is typical of houses of this era - with a polished timber floor, ceiling cornice and centre rose, and an arch to an inner hall. The drawingroom is an elegant space with polished timber floors, downlighters, and a high ceiling with decorative cornicing. An attractive period marble fireplace has a cast-iron and tiled inset and black and white tiled hearth. Two long sash windows overlook Victoria Avenue.

The kitchen/diningroom is a snazzy, contemporary space with Shaker-style maple and opaque glass fitted cupboards and glossy granite worktops. It comes with integrated appliances and has a half bowl sink unit and a door to a utility room, which in turn opens onto the rear patio garden.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom which has every preference for ablutions covered - a bath, telephone shower and a power shower.

There is a pull down ladder to the attic.

The rear patio garden has a shed which houses a gas-fired central heating boiler. There is also a pedestrian entrance to the rear.
