A Victorian house at 28 St Kevin's Road, Portobello, refurbished with salvaged timbers and with many of its original features intact, is expected to make £330,000-plus at a Sherry FitzGerald auction on June 21st.

The 1,400 sq ft terraced house has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a couple of good sized reception rooms. An extension, added to the rear in the 1970s, almost doubles the size of the house and gives the ground floor a very spacious feel. From a small entrance lobby, you step straight into a high-ceilinged livingroom. The pale yellow walls give dramatic focus to a black wrought-iron spiral staircase, each step inset with mosaic tiles, leading to the upper floor.

Beyond this room is a big, bright family room that leads directly through to a dining area with French doors to the patio, and to a galley style kitchen. Both reception rooms have original fireplaces, and salvaged pitch pine floor boards. The kitchen is well fitted with light oak cabinets and has a Mexican terracotta tiled floor. It overlooks the south facing patio garden with its raised plant beds.

At the top of the spiral staircase is a squarish landing with Velux window. Off the landing is the main bedroom with its en suite bathroom, the family bathroom and the second bedroom - a good-ized double with a pair of original windows overlooking the street. The main bedroom has a pair of Velux windows in its high ceiling, but with blinds so that the dawn light can be delayed until a decent hour. There are two saloon-style entrances to the en suite, which doubles as a dressingroom There is disc parking in the street outside - not unimportant in an area that is within walking distance of St Stephen's Green.
