Dublin 4/€2.5m:Number 83 Upper Leeson Street, Dublin 4 - built in 1844 - is a two-storey over garden level house with decorative plasterwork, timber doors, working fireplaces and sash windows. It has a large rear garden and is set well back from the street.

The owner, after a happy lifetime living here, is selling by private treaty through Sherry FitzGerald with an asking price of €2.5 million. The floor area of 218sq m (2,350sq ft) is divided between three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a kitchen. A self-contained apartment on the lower ground floor has a separate entrance and there is potential for a mews at the end of the rear garden, subject to planning permission. A new owner will probably update and modernise.

The reception rooms have the soaring ceilings and original marble fireplaces of their period. The entrance hallway has a dado rail, arch to the rear of the house and decorative plasterwork. Two of the bedrooms have fireplaces and the family bathroom is on a small, upper return.
