BALLSBRIDGE €695,000:FROM the front, 23 Shrewsbury Park, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, just off the Merrion Road, looks like a smart if fairly unremarkable townhouse.

Inside, it’s bigger than you’d expect at 135sq m (1,453sq ft) and you can see that a lot of care, flair and co-ordination has gone into the interior. Sherry FitzGerald is asking €695,000.

There’s a formal livingroom that’s an elegant, soothing space full of creams, taupes and beiges. The open-plan family diningroom and kitchen at the back of the house has the same attention to detail but is a more relaxed space. The kitchen is hand-painted, country style and amidst all the neutral tones, two dark red fitted cupboards inject a bit of fun and colour to the space, which has an island with a Belfast sink and a freestanding range.

There are three bedrooms, two off the main landing and one in the converted attic. There’s also a home office. The main bedroom is en suite. The garden is as you’d expect it to be after seeing the rest of the house – neat, smart but with a strong landscape design.The service charge is €760 per annum
