WITH ITS FLAT roof and unconventional design, Cavrean on fashionable Avoca Avenue in Blackrock is unmistakeably art deco in style. Built in the 1930s, it is set on 0.56 of an acre of gardens. Sherry FitzGerald is quoting an asking price for the four-bedroom house of €5.2 million and describes the large site in its brochure as "an interesting proposition".

With around 158sq m (1,700sq ft) - excluding the garage on the ground floor - the rooms include a diningroom, drawingroom, family room, kitchen/breakfast room and shower room. Parquet floors run through several reception areas, including the hall and the drawingroom which has a large picture window overlooking the garden and double doors to the diningroom. The diningroom has a curved bay window and an open fireplace with a brass surround.

Also at this level is a rear hall with access to the gardens.

There are four bedrooms on the upper floor, three of which are doubles. Two of the bedrooms, including the main bedroom, have built-in closets. There is also a bathroom and separate toilet. The staircase leads up to the roof level where a door provides access.

The secluded gardens could well be one of the main selling points for this house. To the front the immaculate lawn is surrounded by mature foliage and trees and there is parking for a number of cars. A side entrance leads to the rear garden which is kept private with mature trees and hedges. There is also a number of outside storage sheds.
