House with clever extension may top £325,000

Sherry FitzGerald is seeking offers in excess of £325,000 in a private treaty sale for an extended three-bedroom house at St Augustine's Park in Blackrock, Co Dublin. Located off Carysfort Avenue, Obelisk Rise is part of a development of mostly three, four and five-bedroom family homes built by Neville in the former grounds of St Augustine's School. Number 25 Obelisk Rise has been cleverly extended by the current owners who are now moving to a larger home in the area.

The 1,200 sq ft house stands at the end of a terrace and has off-street parking and a back garden bounded by a stone wall - an unusual feature in a modern development. The entrance to the house is at the side. A spacious hall leads to the livingroom on one side and the large kitchen-cum-diningroom on the other.

There is also a bedroom off the hall, making it suitable for guests or an au pair.

The livingroom is a cheerful yellow room with a wide bay window and an attractive pine surround fireplace.

The kitchen/diningroom, which runs the full width of the house, has a full range of kitchen units.

It leads directly into the extension - a family room with a vaulted timber ceiling fitted with Velux windows and a polished maple floor. Patio doors open from here into the garden.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, while the bathroom also has fitted storage. There is planning permission to add a fourth bedroom with an en suite bathroom.
