No 98 Dolphin Road in Dublin 12, in easy reach of Harold's Cross and Rathmines, is set in its own quiet little cul de sac and has an interior that belies that modest front elevation. Every centimetre of its 62sq m (675sq ft) has been enhanced with fresh, modern decor, while large windows ensure the space is full of light.

An undoubted asset of the property is the south-facing rear garden, a characteristic of 1930s suburbia, here laid mainly in lawn with lush hedging. Immediately to the back of the house is a completely private, sheltered deck, surrounded by mature shrubs and plants, stepped into from a glass door in the open plan living area.

Accommodation begins at the spacious hall with storage under the stairs. The first reception room is a quiet lounge to the front of the house. It has a polished timber floor and an open fireplace with black marble surround and tiled hearth. Next is the large communal kitchen/dining/living room which is wonderfully spacious and functions as the real heart of this home. The kitchen area is fitted with wall and floor units, with appliances integrated.

Upstairs are the two bedrooms, both doubles, and also the bathroom which has a bath and power shower. To the front of the property is the large offstreet parking space, while to the rear is that very private garden which functions as a delightful outdoor room in fine weather.
