A mid-terrace three-bedroom Victorian house at 98 Tritonville Road, Sandymount, carries a guide price of £700,000 prior to auction through Lisney on June 21st. Tritonville Road, which connects Serpentine Avenue to Sandymount Road, is a busy through-road during rush hour but is quiet for most of the day with ramps keeping traffic at a slow pace.
This house has valuable off-street parking and is in walk-in condition inside, having been fully refurbished by the current owners over the past five years. It has also kept many of its elegant period features, including most of the original plasterwork, doors and shutters.
The front hall is a nicely-proportioned space, painted deep brick-red, with ornate egg-and-dart and acanthus-leaf detailing on the ceiling cornice. The under-stairs space has been converted to conceal both a storage cupboard and a lavatory. A pair of interconnecting reception rooms along the right-hand side run the depth of the house. Each has a large, multi-paned window.
Both the drawingroom and the diningroom have grey marble mantels, while the one in the drawingroom has a Georgian, etched brass, Dublin-made inset, added by the present owners.
The kitchen is in the rear return, and is sleekly outfitted on opposite sides with shiny, black granite counters and maple units. All the built-in appliances, including the stainless-steel hob and self-cleaning oven, are included in the sale. Beyond the kitchen, the house has been extended to include a delightful, spacious sunroom, with rows of windows on two sides and a lofty, wood-panelled ceiling. Good insulation and heating make this a comfortable family room all year round.
Upstairs, on the return, there is a family bathroom and a double bedroom. There are two more double bedrooms at the top of the house. The main one, which has an en suite shower room, stretches the full width of the house at the front and has two windows. All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.
The small front garden has a lawn, flower border and a gravelled car-parking area. In the rear there is a patio and a raised area with a curvaceous lawn and borders. This garden is very nicely planted and makes a wonderful backdrop to the sunny family room.
