Monkstown: €1.875m: A redbrick house in Monkstown, Co Dublin has all the elegance of its early 20th century origins.
Sherry FitzGerald is quoting €1.875 million by private treaty for this four-bedroom house, which was withdrawn at auction in October. Part of an Edwardian terrace, 6 Belgrave Road has 192sq m (2,070sq ft) of space and a west-facing back garden.
It's at the end of the terrace, with side and rear access. The front bedroom looks out over Dublin Bay across a stand of pines. Houses rarely come up for sale on this avenue. While impeccably kept, the eventual buyer will probably update the interior, holding onto period features, such as sash windows, deep coving and polished wood floors.
Off the hallway, sitting and diningrooms are connected by sliding doors. The diningroom extends into a front bay. The sittingroom opens to a west-facing sun room. A cream Aga is fitted in an alcove in the cosy kitchen/breakfastroom. Off this is a maid's room and utility with Belfast sink. Up on the first floor return are the family bathroom, toilet and a double bedroom with cast-iron fireplace.
Two double bedrooms and a front-facing single room are at this level. Bedroom one extends into a bay and has great sea views and the two larger rooms have wardrobes and fireplaces. The sheltered front garden winds round to the back. There is a greenhouse, outhouses and garage, with a door to the rear laneway. Parking on Belgrave Road is by permit.
