Look inside: Elegant Victorian on Burlington Road with spacious back garden and wine cellar for €2.75m

When it was last for sale in 2003, 18 Burlington Road in Dublin 4 was described in The Irish Times as having “a surprisingly modern interior”. Flooring on the ground floor was described as having “modern oak boards”. Today, oak is one of the most popular floor covering choices, and here the floor boards have developed a lovely patina since 2003, when the house was then expected to make in excess of €2.3 million. It's now on the market at €2.75 million.
