Skillfully remodelled, 16 Newcomen Avenue in North Strand, Dublin 3, is an inspiring and creative example of how a small house can be transformed.
Modern, bright and sleek, this three-bedroom double-fronted cottage looks like it was designed to feature on the pages of glossy interiors magazines.
Centrally located along the banks of the Royal Canal on the northside of Dublin, Newcomen Avenue is a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of the city centre.
This area has become very popular with first-time buyers looking to find properties convenient to the city. Douglas Newman Good is guiding in excess of £175,000 (€222,204).
The house is in showhome condition, as no-one has lived here since its renovation.
The exterior has also been remodelled and the back garden, a modern urban space, is a great feature. Gravel stones cover most of the garden, complemented by a large decked area.
Cleverly placed windows give the appearance of continuity between the living space and the outdoor area. At the back of the house, an open-plan area includes the Shaker-style kitchen and lounge areas. There are a further three full-length windows and double doors leading to the garden.
Recessed lighting and cherrywood flooring give a sleek line.
There are three bedrooms, all with high ceilings. The main bedroom and second bedroom are both to the front, and the latter is large enough to use as another reception room.
