A HOME and income opportunity presents itself in upmarket Dublin 4 at 89 Haddington Road, Ballsbridge, in a fine period house with a floor area extending to 223sq m (2,400sq ft). The two-storey over garden residence comes with self-contained, two-bed apartment at the lower level, while behind that classic hall door with characteristic fanlight is a very spacious three-bed house with large formal reception rooms.
Overall, this would make a stylish city family home with lots of character, and all just waiting for a new owner to give it a style make-over.
Fine features are evident from the moment you enter the reception hall, with dado rail and an archway that serves to define gracefully high ceilings with plaster cornice. Leading from here are two generously-sized reception rooms, again with elegant period features including marble fireplaces, and also benefiting from inter-connecting panelled doors that swing back to make one very large, entertaining space. To the back of the hall is the kitchen with built-in presses, tiled floor and steps down to the back garden.
The single room on the first-floor return is given over to the main bathroom. On the first floor proper is the master bedroom with en-suite, and two more bedrooms (a single and a double).
The garden level apartment has its own entrance porch, plus a living/dining room with open fireplace, fitted kitchen, the two bedrooms and shower room. To the rear is a 45ft long, Lshaped garden.
