Dublin 14: €1.95mNumber 3 Lower Churchtown Road, D14, a three-bed detached house across the road from Milltown Golf Club and a short walk from the Luas at Windy Arbour, is back on the market four months after failing to sell at auction.
It was withdrawn by agent Lisney quoting €2.1 million and is now for sale by private treaty at the original AMV of €1.95 million.
Dating from the 1930s, it has been given a thoroughly modern makeover by its owners. Extended and remodelled the house now has 181sq m (1,948sq ft) and is laid out over three floors. What would have been the two formal reception rooms have been knocked together creating a long livingroom.
The main event is the massive open-plan kitchen/livingroom to the rear of the house where little expense has been spared. A large island unit with a polished granite top dominates the kitchen area. Units are hand-made, there is oodles of storage and a Stanley range is racing green. A guest toilet and large utility room are off the kitchen area.
French doors open onto a substantial raised deck with outdoor lighting. The remainder of the back garden is at a lower level and laid out in gravel, trees and shrubs.
At first floor level there are three double bedrooms, all en suite. The larger of these is to the front and has a bay window and a dressing area. The current owners have also created two rooms in the attic space. The main room benefits from a wall of large windows which offer impressive views over Milltown's Nine Arches Bridge. This could make a great den. Off this there is a smaller room with adjoining bathroom with shower. To the front of the house there is parking for two cars and a gated side passage provides access to the rear garden.
