Dublin 6/€650,000:This is one for buyers looking for a well-located, small townhouse in walk-in condition, writes Bernice Harrison.

16 Gulistan Place in Rathmines is a two bedroomed house, owned and refurbished by an architect who understood how to make the most of its 61 sq m (657sq ft).

The front door opens into a bright open-plan living room with new timber flooring and with one wall taken up with smart contemporary kitchen units. The ceilings in the living area were removed to expose the rafters so there is a good sense of airy height.

The house is double fronted - the two windows on one side belong to the living area, the other belongs to a single bedroom. There is a further double bedroom.

At the back of the house - which is built on a triangular plot, hence the shape of the living room and the small back patio - is the stylish, compact shower-room and utility room.

There is a small railinged garden to the front and the house's location, just behind Mount Pleasant, means an easy walk to town or the Luas.

It is for sale by Rathmines auctioneers Grays for offers of around €650,000.
