A four-bedroom detached house in a prime position overlooking the 17th fairway of Elm Park golf course has a pre-auction guide of in excess of £650,000 with Gunne Residential.
Auburn, at 178 Stillorgan Road, is on the city side of the Montrose Hotel and faces UCD's Belfield campus. The house is in walk-in condition.
Reception rooms have a good flow for easy entertaining. The pink-painted sitting-room has a white marble fireplace and deep ceiling coving. This leads through to an interconnecting dining-room which in turn opens on to a tiled conservatory.
There is a view from here through a stand of tall pine trees to the golf course. The kitchen, although on the small side, is fitted with attractive cherry-wood units and has enough room for a breakfast table.
Three of the bedrooms upstairs are doubles and have built-in wardrobes. The single room - currently used as a study - has floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. There is access from one of the large bedrooms to an attic storage area. A family bathroom off the landing has ceramic-tiled walls and an Amtico floor, and antique-style brass fittings. Outside, a garage attached to the house, currently used as a hobbies room, could be converted to extra living accommodation without too much effort. A tool shed has an outside lavatory.
The back garden has been very stylishly landscaped, with a circular lawn, several paved sitting areas and a curved pathway of round granite chippings. Although spring bulbs are well in flower now, dwarf conifers and ornamental evergreens promise all-year-round colour.
