SANDYMOUNT remains one of the capital's most sought-after districts for home buyers. Typical of the Edwardian redbrick terraces that give the place such character is Serpentine Avenue, Dublin 4. This two-bed, period bay-windowed residence, just off the Avenue, on 11 Serpentine Terrace, counts tanaiste Mary Harney among previous owners.
No 11 is the perfect Sandymount pad, easily maintained and within a stroll of every amenity in the village, and just a 10-minute hop by bus or car to St Stephen's Green. Another attraction is the very private southwest-facing rear garden.
The house itself is in readyto-walk into condition. Accommodation is laid out over 109sq m (1,175sq ft). Entrance is through the tiled lobby. Leading from this is the open-plan kitchen-diningroom with bay window and custom-built bookshelves and storage. The kitchen has a quarry tiled floor, Belfast sink and integrated appliances. This room opens directly to the conservatory.
On the first floor return is the large bathroom. Two bedrooms are on the first floor.
