Flair meets Edwardian era charm

Kilmainham: €695,000 With a central location - close to the Luas and city centre - 27 Mountshannon Road in Kilmainham, Dublin 8, is attractive even on paper.

This Edwardian semi has artistic flair and period charm, with most original features retained. It has been rewired, replumbed and replastered. HOK Residential is guiding excess €695,000 by private treaty for the three-bed, which has 125 sq m (1,348 sq ft) of accommodation.

The small front garden is tidily landscaped and the front door, protected by a wooden porch, has new stained glass and opens into a cheery yellow hall with fine plasterwork. To the right is a good-sized reception room with a bay window and a marble fireplace. Wooden doors with glass inserts open into the back room. Both rooms have ceiling roses.

Steps lead down from the hall to the kitchen, which has plenty of pine units. The fridge is tucked into a nook under the stairs and the floor is covered with quarry tiles. A door leads out to the good-sized office, a recent addition, and this opens to a lobby. Off this is a handy shower room which gives access to the utility room.

The lobby also opens out to the south-east facing rear garden which is landscaped with gravel and flower beds.

At the end are a Barna shed and a sun-trap deck with a mosaic on two walls. There is access to the rear through a gate by the shed, and to the front through a covered side passage.

Upstairs, the single bedroom in the return overlooks the office. Beside this is the family bathroom.

The next level has two double bedrooms. The back room is currently used as a guest bedroom. The main bedroom is magnificent, spanning the front of the house with two windows, one of them a deep bay.

At the top of the house, the attic conversion is suited to any number of uses, well lit by Veluxes to the rear and retaining under-eaves storage.
