This home has been pared back almost to a blank canvas - ideal for buyers seeking to put their stamp on a classic residence.

Inside, the 173sq m (1,870sq ft) residence is laid out in generously proportioned, high-ceilinged reception rooms with high picture rails and antique fireplaces. The hall runs the full depth of the property and is particularly elegant with an architrave and fanlight at the end, mirroring those at entrance level.

Leading off to the right are two formal reception rooms. On the return is a third reception room which could convert to a more conveniently located kitchen. Also on the return is a guest cloakroom.

At garden level - which also has a separate front entrance below the steps - is a less formal hall leading to three double bedrooms (all en suite).

The front garden is neatly gravelled and provides ample parking space. To the rear, the garden has a southwesterly aspect.

On the doorstep is Rathgar village, Terenure and Rathmines villages are within easy reach and the city centre is three kilometres skip away.
