DUBLIN 6: €795,000The owner bought the two-bed redbrick six years ago and completely renovated two years later, extending the house and turning it into a very smart, comfortable home which is in a good central location, a short walk to Ranelagh village and an easy walk into town.
The front door opens directly into the good-sized livingroom that would originally have been two rooms and a hall which have been knocked into one.
This in turn opens into the kitchen. It has been fitted with glossy white units topped with granite and the appliances are mostly integrated which suits the streamlined, modern look. French doors open out into a private town garden, landscaped for low maintenance and with a water feature. The terrace is beside the much improved Ranelagh Gardens, a beautifully maintained public park and a fantastic local amenity.
Upstairs, the two bedrooms are doubles, the main one to the front is a large room with a fireplace, polished floorboards and a built-in wardrobe, while the other is a much smaller double at the back of the house. The mostly tiled bathroom must have been a bedroom at one time as it's relatively large, with a sash window, a cast-iron fireplace and space for a bath and a separate shower cubicle.
Every inch in this 83.5sq m (900sq ft) house has been utilised - the attic has been opened up for use as a guest bedroom. To the front there is a garden.
