A look at what is on view this week
22 Upper Leeson St, Dublin 4, €1.25 million, Sherry FitzGerald
Located in one of Dublin’s most accessible and leafy suburbs, this late Georgian two storey over garden level residence dates from 1820. It underwent an extensive refurbishment three years ago, and stretching to 260sq m (2,800sq ft) it is in pristine condition. The four-bed house retains many period features including coving, centre roses and original fireplaces.
On the return is a luxurious family bathroom and the first floor has three bedrooms. The garden level is spacious and bright, and ideal for family living. There’s a fully-equipped Arena kitchen and a very comfortable living/dining area flooded with natural light.
On view Saturday, 11.30am-12.30pm
5 Coolgraney, Clonskeagh, Dublin 14, €1.15 million, Felicity Fox
Built in 2000, this detached five-bed family home off Clonskeagh Road extends to 255sq m (2,745sq ft). Situated with eight other detached houses behind electric gates, no expense was spared in the quality of its build and finish. Well appointed, the house has a generous rear garden and enjoys a westerly aspect with off-street parking for two to three cars.
Features include a sun-drenched conservatory off the dining room, gas fires with ornate oak surround in the family room and marble surround in the front drawing room, which interconnects to the dining room. The fully-fitted kitchen/dining room features a range of Neff appliances and an adjoining utility.
Upstairs, there are four fine double bedrooms (two with en suite) and one single bed. An attic room spans the width of the house and would be ideal as a playroom, den or office.
On view Saturday, noon-1pm
Abbeyview, Enniskerry Road, Kilternan, Dublin 18, €395,000, DNG
Abbeyview is one of two identical double-bay window bungalows on the road, which were built in the 1930s by Michael Jordan, one of the men who helped to build Our Lady of the Wayside (The Blue Church) in Kilternan, situated just up the road in the foothills of the Dublin mountains.
This small three-bedroom bungalow has remained in the family for more than 80 years, and the house and its sizeable gardens have been maintained well, with double glazing and laminate/tiled flooring through. A key attraction is the sunny southwest facing garden, which comes complete with fruit-bearing apple trees.
On view Saturday, 3-3.30pm
128 Silchester Park, Dún Laoghaire, €475,000, Lisney
This semi-detached Jennings-built family home is located in a popular family suburb close to schools, local transport and excellent recreational facilities. The house itself is in need of refurbishment, but it offers good potential to the rear and side, while the garage and attic would be subject to necessary planning permission. There is also a sizeable garden to the rear running to about 29m (95ft). A good home if trading up with a young family.
On view Saturday, noon-1pm
2 Belleville Avenue, Rathgar, Dublin 6, €895,000, Lisney
Over 150 years of history surround this detached Regency-style villa ideally located off Rathgar Road, and within a short walk of Rathgar and Rathmines villages. A major attraction of the house is that many of its period features remain intact including fireplaces, decorative ceiling cornices and centre roses. A spacious, bright hallway gives way to characterful reception rooms with oak and marble fireplaces and sash windows. There’s a small study to the rear and three bedrooms upstairs.
The single storey over garden level period residence is further enhanced by an extensive sunny south-facing rear garden. Its location on a quiet cul-de-sac with access to Highfield Road would make it attractive for young families and secluded city living.
On view Saturday, noon-1pm
15 Longford Terrace, Monkstown, Co Dublin, €1.29 million, DNG
Longford Terrace is one of the longest and most substantial, well-preserved Victorian terraces in Monkstown. Number 15 is beautifully appointed on a corner site, with a bright and spacious interior. Comprising three storeys over garden level, it features five reception rooms, six bedrooms, four bathrooms and four fully-equipped kitchens, as the present owners adapted the house for a range of family needs. There is also a balcony on the top floor with excellent views over Monkstown village and environs.
The house retains many of its original features including original iron railings and a unique Celtic pattern in white cobblestones on the entrance driveway (one of the few such entrances left on the terrace). Granite steps lead to the bright hallway, with its Italian tiled floor and original cornicing and ceiling rose. Celtic-style plasterwork, classic roses and picture rails continue into reception rooms, all bathed in light from sash windows, with working shutters throughout. Original marble fireplaces feature on each level.
There is permission for commercial use of both the garden and hall floors, which could be used and/or rented as office space. The house sits opposite the Dart station, with mature front and back gardens and off-street parking.
On view Saturday, noon-12.30pm
