Dublin 6: €1.8m: Behind the conventional exterior of a typical Ranelagh redbrick is a sleek interior that blends the best of Victorian and modern times.
HOK Residential has given 1 Lower Beechwood Avenue an AMV of €1.8 million prior to auction on September 29th.
Time and money has been spent on extending and restoring the 166sq m (1,787sq ft) three-bedroom corner house to a high specification. The original house was almost doubled in size, stretching to the side to add a second sash window to match the existing one.
Floors are polished walnut, the kitchen and bathroom fittings are ultra-glamorous and an underfloor heating system has been installed.
Light now streams through the house from expanses of glass to the rear. Preserving period features was also a priority, so ceiling cornicing and a marble sittingroom fireplace remain in situ. Stone-topped kitchen units incorporate a range of appliances and there is an American fridge-freezer. There is also a family room. Outside is a walled south-west facing back garden.
