'Two-up, two-downs' make five-star use of space
Valerie Shanley



THE discovery, in these space-conscious days, that whole families were often raised in what is known as the typical 'two-up, twodown' terraced brick fronted townhouse is nearly always met with amazement.

But these sturdily-built properties are nothing if not versatile, these days accommodating considerably smaller families, young professional couples or, even more likely, single buyers looking for a close-to-city-centre pad with lots of period character.

This 56 sq m (603 sq ft) at 19 Merchants Road, East Wall, Dublin 3, is a perfect example of how every inch of that space is used to best advantage.

Additional benefits to the property include a smart new shower room while there is an easy-to-look-after courtyard to the rear.

Entrance opens directly into the living-cum-dining room which has a brick fireplace and stairs to the first floor.

Next to this is the well-fitted kitchen with a range of built-in presses, stainless steel sink and a larder fitted in the understairs space.

The room is also big enough to accommodate a table and chairs. Off the firstfloor landing are the two bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobe, the other with hot linen press. The showerroom, with curved corner shower cubicle, wc and whb, is also a bright space, courtesy of a Velux skylight.

All floor coverings, light fittings, drapes and appliances are included in the sale.

Number 19 . . . within a 10 minute walk of the IFSC, East Point Business Park, Point Depot . . . also happens to be situated near the docklands, one of the fastest developing areas of the city.

Price: 365,000 Agent: Gunne 01-833 5844
