£250,000-plus for family home

Offers in excess of £250,000 are being sought by O'Mahony Auctioneers for a spacious three-bedroom semidetached house on a large site at 17 Eden Park Road, Goatstown, which is for sale by private treaty. Built in the 1950s, the house has been extended in recent years and has an above average 1,750 sq ft of living space. The house has been regularly updated and redecorated with carpets and curtains included in the sale.

Eden Park Road is part of an estate off the Lower Kilmacud Road, which was once a cul-de-sac but which has now through access to Upper Kilmacud Road. This house occupies two corner sites. An extension has provided a new kitchen and family room. The result is a roomy family home with an exceptional level of privacy. The family room is carpeted in green. It is heated by a wood-burning stove, and has two large windows overlooking the garden.

The kitchen has extensive floor and wall units in grey-grained wood panelled in soft green. The kitchen is floored in mid-green wood-style lino. There is a walk-in larder with floor to ceiling shelves. A large window overlooks the back garden. There is scope and plenty of space for a conservatory extension to the family room. Nearby is a utility room. Beside it is a fully tiled shower room, basin and lavatory. A door leads from the utility room to the side garden.

The front facing livingroom has off-white walls, a pine floor, and a cast-iron Victorian fireplace with black tile surround. There are two other rooms on the ground floor. One is currently used as an au pair's bedroom, the other as a playroom. The rear facing bedroom has an old-style patio door to the garden and an extensive louvre-door wardrobe and shelving space.

The hall has an under-the-stairs area which is completely shelved, and a separate fitted unit with hanging space. Central heating is oil fired, and there are two telephone lines. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. All the rooms have pine flooring. Two of the rooms have nursery wallpaper, and one of these has extensive wardrobe space with a fixed mirror. The third bedroom has a pale blue scheme and a period fireplace. The front garden has a lawn fringed with mature shrubs. At the rear, sliding patio doors lead from the family room to a large, south-facing paved patio. The back garden has fruit trees, a copper birch and Japanese maple. On the other side of the boundary back garden hedge, is a large green common area.
