BUYERS seeking a handsomely proportioned redbrick on one of south Dublin's most sought-after period squares will be spoilt for choice. Lisney currently has three fine properties for sale on Eaton Square, Monkstown, all in walk-in condition, with high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, generous living space and views overlooking the green square.
No 15, built around 1901, is the most recent of the properties to put up the 'for sale' sign and is a fine example of the classic Edwardian family home with double bay-windows to the front.
The long, bright entrance hall is defined by plaster arch, ceiling coving and centre rose. Leading off are two extra-spacious reception rooms with original marble fireplaces and fullheight, interconnecting double doors.
The hall leads to an inner hall, off which is the guest cloakroom, complete with quarry tiled floor, picture rail and hanging area.
Next is the large breakfast room with solid-fuel range. The smaller kitchen adjacent has a tiled floor and modern Shaker-style fitted units.
On the first-floor return is the first bedroom . . . a double with original fireplace . . . and the main bathroom.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, one being the master bedroom with wonderful period features including fireplace, ceiling coving, bay window and full en-suite bathroom.
The two remaining bedrooms are on the secondfloor return, one with vaulted ceiling and castiron fireplace, the other with a side window giving glimpses of Howth across the bay.
