SECOND-chance Sunday continues unabated in regard to the many impressive period homes that failed to sell under the hammer last autumn, and which are being represented to the market in style. No 66 Bushy Park Road, in Rathgar, Dublin 6, was originally up for auction in September 2006, with an AMV of 2.75m, and is now back under private treaty at 2.5m.
Extending to some 284sq m (3,055sq ft), and with five bedrooms, the architectural detail in the house is impressive, particularly the ornate plasterwork topping the high ceilings, the decorative arch in the entrance hall and intricate architraves over the main reception room entrance doors. Other delights are the high sashes and bay windows and the grand, marble fireplaces in the more formal rooms.
Accommodation comprises the elegant hall, guest cloakroom, period drawing room, interconnecting through sliding doors to the dining room, large study with sliding patio doors to the garden, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, five bedrooms and main bathroom. At the very top of the house is the attic room with skylight.
Price: 2.5m
