BLACKROCK €2.9M:NUMBER 18 Waltham Terrace, a semi-detached villa-style house on one of Blackrock's most popular roads, has an AMV of €2.9 million prior to auction by Lisney on April 24th.
The 218sq m (2,346sq ft) five-bedroom house is in pristine condition and decorated with great charm. From the parchment Zoffany paper in the hall to the blue-and-white striped curtains and window-seat cushions in the extended living kitchen area, a light touch has been used throughout.
The drawingroom to the left of the hall has two large sash windows overlooking the garden, making it a bright sunny space. A marble fireplace, picture rail and stucco ceiling add period definition to the subtle colour scheme with a pale fitted carpet, creamy walls, and splashes of duck egg blue.
Unlike many villas, there is a return, which allows for a generous main bedroom with large en suite, both overlooking the back garden. The smart bathroom, like the other two in the house, is fully tiled in warm-hued stone and has a quirky porthole window. Two smaller bedrooms at this level have an en suite between them. Both have large sash windows and built-in storage.
Downstairs, the main focus is the living area, a great L-shaped space taking up the entire width of the house. Two sets of French doors open into the garden with a simple Portland stone fireplace between them, while a shallow bay with a wide window seat in the end wall allows sun to pour into the room.
The kitchen with utility room off it is in the short arm of the L. Lit from above with long Velux windows, it has ivory fitted units and an island unit with granite worktops, and a Rangemaster double cooker.
The whole area has travertine flooring and is lit by downlighters.
There is also a family bathroom and two other bedrooms, one used as a study, at this level.
The front garden is laid out with lavender and box and there is parking for three cars. A door in an old wall leads to the back garden, which is secluded with trees, lawn and paved seating areas near the house. Waltham Terrace is near Blackrock village and several top schools.
