Classic and contemporary mix in city centre

Located in the heart of Portobello, 45 Bloomfield Avenue has a country feel to it, despite its city centre location.

Dublin 8: €925,000: The beautifully decorated three-bedroom house (with a small study) is for sale by auction, on March 10th, by estate agent Felicity Fox with a guide of €925,000. The home has retained many period features, although the kitchen/dining area and downstairs dayroom are contemporary.

The reception has floral wallpaper, original timber flooring, decorative plaster and cast-iron fireplace. The bathroom has done the classic country look proud, with its dark original floorboards and period-style bathware including a free-standing cast-iron bath. Such is the size of this dreamy bathing space that the room also houses a day bed.

The kitchen/dining area is contemporary with its granite worktop, simply styled cherrywood units and smart appliances.
