Phibsborough: €625,000A villa-style property in a quiet cul-de-sac on the city side of Phibsborough village is for sale by private treaty through Lisney at €625,000.

The architect-owned, two-bedroom house at 6 Arranmore Avenue was completely renovated by the present owners three years ago. While a modest 93sq m (1,000sq ft) in size, the ground floor layout feels roomy and bright thanks to a substantial extension to the rear.

The hall and stairs have been painted white with recessed spots ensuring you get to appreciate every inch of the 14ft-plus high ceilings.

The front sittingroom is a white cube of space that is as tall as it is wide.

Shutters on the window are the only sign that this isn't a brand new property.

Terrazzo detailing on the chimney breast adds a touch of texture but in all it's a blank canvas of a room that the next owners can put their stamp on.

The property lacks any of the usual period features present in a 100-year-old home.

This may not be to everybody's taste but their absence contributes to the interior's swish, super-modern feel.

The diningroom and kitchen have both been opened up and extended to make the most of the small, low-maintenance garden. Bespoke L-shaped glazing opens up the space to the outdoors.

The kitchen is simple and finished in white Formica. A utility room, with hot press and plenty of storage, is behind the kitchen and helps keep it clutter-free.

The property's bathroom is also on this floor. It has a wet room-style shower and, unusually, wardrobe storage for the bedrooms above. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one small single and a double. Neither has any built-in storage.

There are several other properties being redeveloped on the street, which is always a good sign, and its proximity to the Mater Hospital, the Law Library and the Four Courts should make it essential viewing for legal eagles and doctors in the market for a starter home that's in walk-in condition.
