A three-bedroomed townhouse in a small development on Carysfort Avenue, Blackrock, Co Dublin, is for sale by private treaty through Hamilton Osborne King. Given its size, location, and a price of £250,000, 2 Avondale Lawn should attract interest from both first-time buyers and those trading down. Located almost opposite the entrance to the Smurfit Business School, the terraced house is one of eight townhouses built about 11 years ago. It has two reception rooms, a good-sized kitchen, one bedroom en suite and secure parking to the rear.

The compact front garden, which has a copper beech and high hedging, slopes gently to the entrance porch, where sliding glass doors open to the hall door. In the hall, there is under-stairs storage, with the stairs to the left, and the livingroom to the right.

A wide, low window on to the front garden brightens the livingroom, which has a marble fireplace with brass inset and back boiler. Double doors with glass panes lead to the diningroom, where there is a window on to the back patio.

The kitchen/breakfastroom, also to the rear, is a long, bright room with a range of timber units and a full complement of appliances to be included in the sale.

The breakfastroom area has a window overlooking the patio, as well as sliding glass doors.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is to the rear of the house and has an en suite shower with wash-hand basin, lavatory and small window. The bedroom itself has a bank of built-in wardrobes with a central, mirrored vanity unit. The second bedroom, which has a window overlooking the front, has similar built-in wardrobes while the third, smaller bedroom, has a wardrobe with a dressing table unit.

The family bathroom has a window and cream-coloured fittings. The landing is brightened by a Velux window and a ladder drops down to give access to an attic storage space.

The rear patio has high walls and privacy, some climbing plants and a Barna shed. The car-parking area has double, wooden gates which open off a private rear access road.
