Number 1a Alma Terrace is a modern stone-clad mews style property designed by Niall D Brennan Architects (NDBA). It’s just off Mount Pleasant Avenue, almost equidistant from the villages of Ranelagh and Rathmines.
Originally a sweet shop, the property has been reimagined with style and flair and feels bright throughout.
At ground level there is a lovely sittingroom with a fan-assisted stove and glass doors sliding open to access the south facing, low maintenance courtyard, which is paved in Indian sandstone and golden gravel.
The eat-in kitchen, on the other side of the hall, has a small island and similar glazing to access outside where there are two sheds for storage.
While the three-storey house measures 141sq m (1,518 sq ft) it has glamour model proportions, that is, it feels slightly top heavy on bedrooms vis a vis the number of reception rooms below.
There are two roomy bedrooms with shower en-suite bathrooms on the first floor. The house has a family bathroom with Villeroy and Boch sanitaryware and Hansgrohe mixers.
There are two more bedrooms on the upper floor. One of these is set up as a home office.
The layout would mean this property, if purchased for investment, would let very well.
The house is situated on the street on a pedestrian lane, Alma Terrace, which links Mount Pleasant Avenue with Rugby Villas. There is no on-street parking as the thoroughfare is pedestrian.
The B1 BER-rated property is asking €590,000, through agents Gunne.
