Hidden away off Serpentine Avenue in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, this charming two-bedroom redbrick terrace house is scheduled for auction on May 17th. HOK Residential is quoting a guide price in excess of £300,000 (€380,921) for 15 Serpentine Terrace.
The colourful art deco tiles that decorate the fireplaces are an eyecatching feature. Dating back to 1900, there are four such original period fireplaces in the house.
Original polished wooden floors are found in every room bar the kitchen, which is quarry-tiled, and lend an olde-world atmosphere to the house.
Period features have been well-maintained, including the plasterwork and sash windows.
The large bay window in the sittingroom overlooks a quiet green area to the front of the house, which is located in a secluded cul-de-sac.
From the diningroom, there is a door into the kitchen. It overlooks the back garden and has a side door out to a grass and patio area. The bathroom on the first floor return is decorated in period style with an attractive old wash-hand basin with brass fittings. There is a separate toilet here also.
Upstairs are two bedrooms: the main bedroom occupies the width of the house and has two windows making it a very bright room. The second bedroom is smaller and overlooks the back garden.
Serpentine Terrace is a very quiet and charming location. The DART line runs parallel to the front of the terrace but is hidden by trees and a green area.
