BEHIND the traditional brick front facade of No 78 O'Reilly Avenue lies a little city gem that maximises every inch of its 70sq m (756sq ft) interior. Dating back to the early 20th century, the neat terraces of Ceannt Fort, Mount Brown in Dublin 8 are much sought after for their charming brick designs, generous town gardens and very realistic price tags.
This two-bed is a fine example and in ready to walk into condition. Add to that the sheltered, westerly rear garden that attracts the evening sun, plus off-street parking in the front drive.
Polished timber floorboards and cast iron fireplaces in the bedrooms, dado rails, picture rails, and sash windows in living areas, provide an authentic backdrop to contemporary touches such as the bright red kitchen.
Accommodation comprises the entrance lobby, sitting room with granite hearth and fitted shelves, kitchen/dining room, bathroom and two double bedrooms with original fireplaces.
A door leads from the rear lobby to the paved and gravelled rear garden - delightfully low maintenance with nothing to do but enjoy come summer.
