Dublin 6: €775,000 The houses in the Ramleh development in Milltown, Dublin 6 are in a secluded spot in a good location and have always been popular. Number 16 Ramleh Park was built in 1937 in what is the earliest part of the development - other houses and styles were built in the 1970s.
Terraced, it has three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfastroom which was added just five years ago. Sherry FitzGerald, which will put it to auction on April 21st, is quoting a guide of €775,000.
A bright, well lit house, number 16 still has many of its 1930s features intact. There are the internal doors throughout as well as the notable double doors between the main reception rooms (with leaded glass panels added), finger plates and door handles, polished floorboards and quintessential 1930s bannisters.
The living and family rooms interconnect and have an original picture rail and polished floorboards.
A good-sized bay window lights up the front-facing livingroom which has cream coloured walls and a cream painted fireplace with cast-iron inset and granite hearth. A gas-fired, 1930s-style fireplace in a red-painted chimneybreast makes for a feature in the family room.
The kitchen/breakfastroom runs the width of the rear of the house and gets plenty of light from a Velux, double glass doors to the garden plus a window over the sink. Maple fittings, at wall and floor level, offer a variety of storage options - a large hot press has even been conveniently incorporated. The cooker, hob and dishwasher are all integrated with the hob fitted into a brick arch. A cream and white colour scheme blends with the honeyed colour of the maple fittings.
There is a toilet and basin in the mosaic tiled guest toilet in the hallway which is bright and has polished floorboards. A dado rail runs from here right up along the stairs.
The main bedroom has a bay window overlooking the front and a second front bedroom has built-in wardrobes. The third bedroom is to the rear. A family bathroom has white tiled floors and walls and a very long original enamel bath. There is also a toilet and vanity unit with inset basin and underneath storage.
The rear garden is landscaped and has a patio in castle stone close to the house and Barna shed at its far end. The high trees in a neighbouring garden give privacy and are also responsible for the propagation of a small copper tree growing in the garden of number 16. There is a circle of grass, pebbled pathways and ivy on the walls. The front garden is in lawn and has flower beds, shrubs, a wide pathway and white railings.
