Dublin 2: €4.3mThis five-bed house on Leeson Street has been so well renovated that new owners can just move in, writes Eivlín Roden.

An upgraded five-bedroom Victorian house on Upper Leeson Street is for auction on October 3rd through Gunne, with an AMV of €4.3 million.

Number 75 is at the end of a terrace of three-storey Regency-style houses, set back from the road behind wrought iron railings. The ivory stucco façade has wide Georgian windows with distinctive plaster "eyebrows". The hall door has a scalloped canopy.

Inside, every bit of the 375sq m (4,000sq ft) floor area has been burnished and decorated to leave nothing for the new owners to do except add their own personal pieces.

The colour scheme throughout is muted, in neutral shades, while original period features have been enhanced by marble flooring, recessed lighting, crafted folding doors and moulded architraves.

The hall level has an air of grandeur, with a magnificent entrance, a drawingroom with a very large window made up of three separate sashes and double doors opening into the diningroom. Both these rooms have matching marble fireplaces, one of which is original to the house.

Also on this level is a large cloakroom with a black fireplace, and deep crimson walls and plentiful storage.

The garden level contains another livingroom and diningroom fitted out for family living with sandstone fireplaces, dark oak flooring and oak cabinets.

A trapdoor in the diningroom leads to a small circular wine cellar while doors from the livingroom lead to a light well with glazed roof, which in turn leads to the kitchen/breakfast area.

This spectacular marble tiled space includes a huge kitchen fitted with an Aga and simple wooden units, dark granite worktops and space for a large table.

The returns consist of two lovely rooms, a study with double doors out to a spacious deck and above it a bedroom with stucco barrel-vaulted bedroom on the half landing.

Further up are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. All three are fine, almost square, rooms and the main one has a walk-in dressing area and a bathroom which makes this space stretch from front to back. The fifth bedroom, at garden level, is en suite.

Outside, a well-planted garden is south-facing while the front has a wide flagged patio and gravelled parking for several cars.
