CO WICKLOW: €1.6M:THIS HOUSE in Bray is one of four terraced houses that once formed part of a nursing home. Now 5 Florence Terrace is back on the market following a dramatic makeover.
Like the adjoining houses that have been reinstated to family homes by the current owner, the 260sq m (2,800sq ft) house has been given a swish minimalist makeover with emphasis on the requirements of modern family life.
The house is for sale through Sherry FitzGerald for €1.6 million. Its neighbours sold for around €1.75 million each in 2007.
A stylish hall with gleaming marble floor leads to two traditional drawingrooms with hardwood floors, high ceilings and impressive sash windows.
The lower ground floor is a much more modern affair and has an open-plan living-kitchen space.
The top floor has a large main bedroom, three smaller bedrooms and a family bathroom.
A landscaped garden to the rear of the property is divided into three areas – a patio just off the dining area of the kitchen, a raised lawn and a parking area for two cars screened from view by planting.
Florence Terrace is a particularly attractive street of Victorian homes, within a few minutes walk of the Dart station and the seafront.
