Ranelagh: from €850,000 Sassy, contemporary and very smart, a row of four two-bedroom townhouses in the heart of Ranelagh village have all the ingredients for the ultimate city pad.

Mason Estates is quoting over €850,000 for the 74sq m (800sq ft) townhouses, to be found at Sandford Row, off Colliers Avenue in Ranelagh, Dublin 6.

Being new-build and within the size criteria, they are exempt from stamp duty, which might soften the edges of the price. Exteriors are clean-lined structures with blue-painted window frames and doors.

Inside, little has been spared in the fit-out. Marble is laid on the hall floor and white oak in kitchens and livingrooms. The staircase is also white oak. Spa-style bathrooms have Italian floor and wall tiling in muted neutrals and Italian Catalano sanitary ware. Wardrobes are fitted in both bedrooms. Other standard features include underfloor heating in bathrooms, en suite and kitchen/livingroom, timber double-glazed windows and wiring for surround sound.

Two bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and a full bathroom, are at ground floor level off the entrance hall.

Stairs climb to the second floor, where an airy open-plan living/dining/kitchen is located. Floors here are white oak and the kitchen has smart high gloss units with granite worktops.

Double glass doors open to a decked roof garden which is large enough to accommodate a good-sized dining table or several sun loungers. Viewing is by appointment.
