A large period house in Ballsbridge in need of refurbishment has a pre-auction guide of £1 million (1.27m) at Allen & Townsend's auction on 27th June next.
Number 43 Waterloo Road is one of the visually appealing mellow-brick terraced houses in Dublin 4 which invariably attract attention when they come to the market.
Closeness to town is the obvious draw of this five-bedroom Waterloo Road house, together with its undeniably fashionable location between Leeson and Baggot Streets.
Most of the period features are intact and - once money is spent and the 3,200 sq ft of accommodation is updated - this would make a fine family home or corporate residence.
The large back garden fronting on to Waterloo Lane has mews potential and the garage has been used for commercial purposes since 1960. Several adjacent mews sites have been developed.
Granite steps lead up to the front door, making the garden level rooms bright. A kitchen, scullery, utility and bathroom are on this floor, in addition to a study and one of the bedrooms.
There is a sittingroom off the main hallway, with dividing doors to the diningroom and there is a bathroom off the return.
A formal drawingroom, four bedrooms and another bathroom are on the first and second floors.
