CHURCHTOWN: €1.7M:COMFORTABLY SETTLED in leafy, mature gardens at the end of a cul-de-sac, number 17 Braemor Park, Churchtown, Dublin 14 has an undying sense of its period.
Built in 1933, there is a sense of that decade immediately as you step through the art deco-style front door into the wide, wide reception hall.
Doors all around are original and a glance through the first gives a view of an impressively lovely original fireplace. Lots of honey-coloured wood, plenty of light and the walls and tall trees of the surrounding gardens create calm and privacy.
A semi-detached house with life in it (the vendors have lived there for nearly 30 years), the house has six bedrooms, four reception rooms (including a sunroom) and a kitchen/breakfastroom over a floor area of 274sq m (2,950sq ft).
Joint agents Harper O’Grady and Kilbride Auctioneers are looking after the private treaty sale and the asking price is €1.7 million.
The interconnecting living and diningrooms run from the front to the rear and on, through a patio door, to the sunroom.
The diningroom is to the front where the high timber mantel and intricately tiled inset of the original feature fireplace get plenty of light from a wide bay window.
The livingroom has another, though more recent, fireplace and the sunroom, which stretches across the back of the house, gives a sense of inhabiting the garden. Sunroom floors and the ceiling are of timber with a wall of windows and two large Veluxes giving plenty of light.
A front-facing room with timber floor and good light could make an office/study or library.
Other original features include banisters and floorboards. The roof of a carport to the side of the house doubles as a balcony, accessed from a bedroom.
Four of the bedrooms are on the first floor, two on the second. The main bedroom has a spacious en suite shower room; and a second bedroom has a bay window overlooking a high, copper leafed tree. A spiral staircase leads to the remaining bedrooms.
In the kitchen/breakfastroom a floor of blue-grey slate works well with both the beech units and a gas stove set into a brick fireplace. Another patio door leads from here to the sunroom.
There is parking for several cars in the front, gated area and for two under the carport.
