Dublin 6: €950,000: Number 9 Casimir Road in Harold's Cross, a 135sq m (1,450sq ft) four-bedroom house on an Edwardian terrace, will be auctioned by Sherry FitzGerald on April 20th. It has an advised minimum value (AMV) of €950,000.
Casimir Road, built in 1907, is notable for houses with bay windows with lovely stained glass panels. The pleasant atmosphere inside the house has something to do with the easy flow between each room and the daylight that shines from the large window at the front through to the sun porch at the rear of the ground floor.
The current owners have upgraded the house over the years and other than some redecoration and perhaps new kitchen units, the house is pretty much ready to go.
Off the hall are two interconnecting reception rooms with polished timber floors and original chimneypieces.
In the second, a wooden sun porch has been built, opening out to the back yard. All the usual cornicing and architectural details are in place.
Down a few steps from the hall is the kitchen, with original terracotta tiled floor, smart blue wall tiles and large window. Beyond this is a utility room. Outside, a patio garden is nicely planted with raised flowerbeds and is paved with slate.
A gate in the back wall opens to a short, narrow laneway where the current owners' children often play. As their children grow, they are moving to find a larger house but Number 9 is ideal for a young family who want something easy to manage and within walking distance of the city centre.
Upstairs on the return there is a double bedroom and a family bathroom with good fittings set against tongue-and-groove panelling. The first-floor landing has enough space to accommodate stairs to an attic conversion, should the new owners consider such an idea.
There are two double bedrooms here with cast iron chimneypieces, polished floorboards and fitted wardrobes. There is also a single bedroom to the front. Disc parking is available on the street.
