Dublin 6/€1.9 million In walk-in condition, a period house in Dartry would make an ideal family residence. Orna Mulcahy reports

An Edwardian four-bedroom semi-detached house at 4 St Kevin's Park in Dublin 6 is likely to make over €1.9 million at auction through Lisney on March 31st.

Houses of this size nicely fill the gap between the smaller terraced houses of, say, Ranelagh, and the large scale redbricks of Rathgar and Rathmines, so there is likely to be a high degree of interest, particularly from well-heeled lawyers, many of whom already live on St Kevin's Park.

Number 4 is an ideal family home with fine reception rooms, and bedrooms arranged on two floors. The walled back garden has a sunny orientation and a pedestrian gate onto St Kevin's Gardens.

The front garden is bounded by neat hedging with a pathway leading to the double front door. Inside, there's a gracious hallway with an ornate plasterwork ceiling. To the left are the drawingroom and diningroom - two big, well-proportioned rooms with highly decorative ceiling plasterwork and high mahogany fireplaces.

The drawingroom has a wide bay window and the diningroom has one, too, incorporating French doors to a side garden.

At the back of the hall is a big comfortable family room with double doors leading to a kitchen that in turn leads on to a conservatory. A big, well-thought out area for family living, this part of the house also has a spacious utility room with access to the garden, and a downstairs lavatory.

Upstairs, the main bedroom suite runs the full width of the house and includes a full en suite bathroom and a dressing area. A family bathroom on the first landing serves two double bedrooms, while the fourth bedroom is a charming attic room on the top floor, with its bathroom next door.

The house is in immaculate order, having been well-maintained by its late owner. However, at this level of the market, buyers generally refurbish from top to bottom before moving in.
