Dublin 9: €775,000This redbrick has been converted into a bright, comfortable home, writes Rose Doyle

In the nine months since buying number 4 St Michael's Road, Glasnevin, Dublin 9, the owner has refurbished the terraced redbrick with a great deal of style.

Built in 1910, in a quiet road off Botanic Avenue and in view of the green walks of Griffith Park, number 4 has had a major overhaul. Where there were 1970s tiled fireplaces there are now 2006 Irish Corbel models and new latches and doorknobs are of chrome.

The replastered walls have been painted cream, the rear has been opened up to create a high, light-filled livingroom, a new staircase gives access to the converted attic.

The result is a home with two bedrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen, breakfastroom and converted attic. The floor area covers 87sq m (935sq ft) and the garden is 32ft long. Both the kitchen and breakfastroom have French windows opening to the decking area. For sale by private treaty through Sherry FitzGerald, it has an asking price of €775,000.
