Sherry FitzGerald is quoting £440,000plus (€558,680-plus) for 38 Sycamore Road, a three-bedroom semidetached in Mount Merrion, south county Dublin.
The house is now much larger than when it was built by the famous Kenny firm, in 1934. The current owners, who have lived there for over a decade, built a substantial extension, which provides an attractive, open-plan kitchen-cum-informal dining/living area at the back of the house.
The accommodation could be further extended - perhaps to provide a fourth bedroom - if the garage was converted to living space.
Sycamore Road has been a cul-de-sac at the Trees Road end for about 18 months - a development which has made the road particularly safe for children, according to the current owners.
The house is decorated in restrained fashion throughout. Downstairs, the original wall between the two reception rooms has been removed, opening up a good-sized double reception room. In the sittingroom, an attractive tiled fireplace sits in the original wooden surround. On either side of the fireplace are built-in cupboards, with bookshelves above.
The hallway leads through to a den-style sitting area which has a couple of steps down to the rear extension.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms - two double rooms and a good-sized single bedroom. The bathroom has a seagrass-coloured suite, while a heated towel rail has been fitted. There is another toilet downstairs.
With gas-fired central heating, this is a manageable-sized house with a good garden which will appeal to smaller families and older couples trading down.
