Donnybrook/€1.85m: Being on the sunny side of the street is important when you're spending around €2 million. While there is plenty to admire in 42 Nutley Road, a four-bedroom detached house on one of Donnybrook's best avenues, the substantial west-facing garden is one of its star attributes.

Sherry FitzGerald is guiding €1.85 million but hopes to achieve around €2 million for this 186 sq m (2,000 sq ft) house, which has permission for an extension to the rear and side. In March, 7 Nutley Road, a five-bedroom house on the not-so-sunny side of this avenue, fetched €1.85 million.

At the Ailesbury Road end of Nutley Road, number 42 is in good condition, with a family-friendly layout. A small study lined with bookshelves is to the right off the hall. Across the way are interconnecting sitting and diningrooms with matching fireplaces. French doors open to a fine garden backing onto the tree-lined RTÉ grounds.

Also opening to the garden is a good-sized kitchen / breakfastroom. The permission allows for extending the kitchen into the garden, creating a family sittingroom from the garage and store rooms. A utility is also planned.

Another sittingroom on the first floor return also features in the proposed extension. This is currently an elegant room with a timber fireplace and a wall of glass opening to a terrace over the garage. The idea is to turn this into a main bedroom suite with dressingroom, en suite bathroom, keeping that sunny balcony.

The main bedroom facing the front is large, with a bank of wardrobes and en suite bathroom. Another double and a large single room overlook the back garden and a pretty single bedroom with lemon walls is to the front.

The family bathroom is large enough to fit a corner bath, bidet and separate shower. A fold-up ladder accesses the partially floored attic. The gardens are outstanding, particularly the back, where a sweep of lawn is bordered by trees and firs.
