The owner of a triplex apartment in a Georgian terraced house at Upper Ely Place in Dublin 2 is selling up, and the £1.75 million price includes all the contents down to the kitchen sink - plus a small collection of Paul Henry paintings that could be worth up to £50,000.

Number 2 Upper Ely Place is located opposite the RHA Gallery, in a quiet cul-de-sac off St Stephen's Green. The house was refurbished five years ago and converted into two apartments. The larger of these occupies the basement, hall level and first floor, with a total of over 2,000 sq ft. Now its owners, who are based abroad, are selling up, having barely used the apartment in recent years. It is for sale by private treaty through Hamilton Osborne King.

Decorated in a plush, luxurious style, with both antique and reproduction furniture, and no-less-than six white marble fireplaces - three of which are antique - the two-bedroom apartment might appeal to a wealthy business person who wants five-star hotel-type accommodation in the capital, but behind their own front door.

The front door in question is a perfect Georgian model that opens into an elegant, marble-tiled entrance hall decorated with Malton prints, which, like the antique marble-topped commode and elaborate gilt mirror, are to be included in the sale. The hall is shared with the second apartment, which is arranged on the top two floors of the building.

The actual entrance to the triplex is through a door at the back of the hall, and once inside one can access the basement and upper levels by lift without using the main staircase of the house. The apartment also includes a room on the return between the hall and first floor level. This has its own door leading to a small lobby, and on to a sizeable room currently used as storage but easily adapted to a study or third bedroom.

At hall level, there are two reception rooms, a drawingroom and diningroom, separated by a small lobby housing the lift. The return has a long, bright, fully-fitted kitchen with Neff appliances and every imaginable accessory down to a cappuccino machine. The kitchen has two windows overlooking a small courtyard garden leading off the basement.

Marble steps lead down to the basement where there is a cosy bedroom in what would once have been the kitchen of the house. The area under the front steps, where coal would once have been poured from above, is now a walk-in dressing area. The bedroom connects to a large en suite bathroom with its own period fireplace and a marble vanity unit. There is also a separate shower room. Also at this level is a large study with Oriental furniture and a large sofa covered in a fur throw.

The first floor is entirely taken up with the main bedroom suite. The bedroom, overlooking the street, has a four-poster bed, with armchairs clustered around an original fireplace. It connects to a large bathroom with the tub in the middle of the floor and a white marble fireplace, which, like those throughout the apartment, is fitted with a coal-effect gas fire.

Decorated throughout in a soothing peaches and cream scheme, the apartment is lavishly furnished with sofas and armchairs, occasional tables, unusual prints and lamps, many of which were imported from New York and Monte Carlo. Everything, down to the table and bed linen is included, with the shelved store room holding quantities of spare bedlinen, towels and other furnishings. However, the apartment has no carparking space.
