Pretty Rathmines semi near the Luas

Dublin 6/€1.45m: A four-bedroom semi near the Luas in Rathmines carries an AMV of €1.45 million prior to auction on July 19th. Gunne Residential is handling the sale of 44 Fortfield Terrace, a 140sq m (1,507sq ft) house with original features and a pretty back garden.

The front door opens to a long hall with understairs storage and a latticed radiator cover. Off this are two colourful reception rooms connected by sliding doors. Each room has a wood and tile open fireplace, polished wideplank floorboards and ceiling rose. In the kitchen/breakfastroom, a range of Shaker-style kitchen cupboards incorporates appliances, including two fridges, oven and hob. Flooring here is solid maple. A family room leading off the kitchen has a pitched ceiling with exposed beams, a free-standing solid fuel stove and maple floor. A shower room with a glass block screen and a shelved utility are also on this level.

Upstairs, the largest bedroom includes wall-to-wall wardrobes and maple flooring. A second bedroom also has wardrobes, while bedroom three is fitted out as a home office. Bedroom four overlooks the front and the family bathroom is also off the landing.

The grounds are lovingly kept and mature, with a yellow Hypericum providing a splash of colour in the neat front garden. A brick-edged terrace outside the diningroom is sheltered by roses and purple Veronica, stepping stones make their way across gravel to a lawn bounded by tall flowering shrubs. Fortfield Terrace is five minute's walk from the Cowper Luas stop.
