Added light and value in Sandymount

Period terraced house with three bedrooms asking €950,000

In a terrace of unassuming early-Victorian redbrick houses, number 99 Tritonville Road has been a bright, comfortable family home to the current owners for the last 12 years. Selling to accommodate the needs of a growing family, they will be leaving behind 140sq m (1,510sq ft) of carefully refurbished living space with original features and an impressively contemporary kitchen/ breakfastroom added in 2010.

The hallway and interconnecting reception rooms carry a sense of the original, 1860s house.

The hallway, from its polished floorboards to ceiling and arch plasterwork, is lit by the light from a distinctive fanlight. The reception rooms, also with polished floorboards as well as original marble fireplaces, appear longer than they are by virtue of a French door leading to a sheltered decking area along the side of the house.

With three bedrooms, family bathroom, two reception rooms and kitchen/ breakfastroom, agent Lisney is asking €950,000 for the private treaty sale. When they bought in 2003 the vendors paid €725,000 for a house that needed, and has had, a lot of work done.

The long (30ft) well-designed kitchen/breakfastroom is a case in point, its creamy-white colours emphasised by lots of natural light from velux windows, a French door to the side and picture door overlooking the garden.

Worktops are of polished sandstone and the extensive fittings; from fridge freezer to oven, grill and dishwasher; completely integrated.

A box bedroom and family bathroom take up the return, a second bedroom, off the first floor landing, has an original fireplace.

The main, front-facing bedroom is the width of the house and has two sash windows as well as a white marble fireplace.

The nicely matured rear garden has a healthy apple tree and shed.

There is off-street parking to the front.
