Blackrock: €3 million: A three-bedroom detached house on Mount Merrion Avenue, Blackrock, is for sale at €3 million by private treaty through Sherry FitzGerald. The 179sq m (1,927sq ft) house dates from the 1930s and is beautifully presented. Gardens of just under a quarter-acre are manicured, with clipped hedges and still-cheery flower beds.
New owners could extend into the grounds, subject to planning, because of the dimensions of the large corner site, which straddles the junction of Mount Merrion Avenue and Woodlands Park. The 85ft long back garden faces south.
Inside, a tiled hallway opens to a guest bathroom with bath and toilet and the main reception rooms. There is a dual-aspect drawingroom, dining/music room, study and kitchen/breakfastroom with utility. Hand-painted kitchen cupboards incorporate appliances and the breakfastroom walls are partly panelled.
Upstairs, the airy main bedroom includes an en suite and two further rooms are doubles. The family bathroom has a bath and electric shower. Well-tended gardens are a big attraction, lovingly maintained and bursting with mature greenery.
