ANYONE looking for city home will be charmed by 143 North Strand Road in Dublin 3, a beautiful mid-terrace cottage less than two miles north of the city centre. Dating back to the 1850s, this split-level home has been completely refurbished and tastefully upgraded. The property has a floor area of 82sq m (882sq ft) and comprises a hall, livingroom, kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom.
It is beautifully presented from the outside through to the inside. A neat rail garden leads up to the front door, which leads to a spacious hall with high ceilings, period arch, ceiling rose and elegant black and white floor tiling.
Just off the hall there is a good-sized livingroom with original timber flooring and fireplace. Beyond the hall, there is an open plan kitchen/ diningroom.
The galley kitchen is bright with simple white fitted units and black and white floor tiling, while the dining area is carpeted.
To the rear of the house there is a bedroom overlooking the garden, where the owners have maximised the relatively small space by using a mix of shrubs and pebbled areas. The bathroom at hall level is spacious at around 9ft by 11ft, and has a large cast iron freestanding bath, timber-panelled walls and excellent floor to ceiling storage. Upstairs there is one double bedroom fitted with a velux window, making it bright and airy.
The property has many of the original period features including ceiling coving, old floorboards and fireplaces, while recent upgrading includes gas-fired central heating, double-glazed windows and an alarm system.
