Tucked away just a stone’s throw from the expansive Ringsend Park is the meticulously crafted mid-terrace one-bedroom home of 75 Ringsend Park. Distinguished by its eye-catching red brickwork, contemporary grey Shaker-style doorway, and a sash window, the property offers an appealing blend of modern and traditional aesthetics.
Acquired in 2021 for €270,000 as listed in the Property Price Register, the current owner overcame building supply challenges presented by the pandemic, transforming the property into a cosy single bedroom dwelling. She replaced all windows with double-glazed ones and arranged for the restoration and sprucing up of the original timber floors in the combined kitchen and living area.
Despite its modest area of 38 square metres or 409 square feet, the clever layout coupled with high ceilings maximises the available space. Located conveniently close to both the Grand Canal Dock and the city’s southern region, it can serve as an ideal residence for individuals working nearby. Plus, its low maintenance feature makes it a perfect match for those leading hectic lives.
As you step into the house, the tall ceilings provide an airy feel. A strategically placed corner sofa neatly divides the living area, which sits on your right. The living space has been equipped with a wood-burning stove that snugly fits into an angled wall. It can conveniently warm up the entire house in just half an hour, alongside general heating. The house, while having a low Ber of G, has been found to be cosy & warm by the owner. She even suggested that removing the old floors might enhance the Ber rating, in case a potential buyer wishes to invest further.
A counter separates the kitchen from the living area. It adds a distinct touch with its rich navy blue storage units that extend to the ceiling, along with glazed display cabins. With ample room for proper cooking, the kitchen offers a striking aesthetic, showcasing wooden countertop effects, a white metro-tile splashback, a round ceramic sink, wooden shelves and golden accents. A dining spot nestled beneath a gallery wall breaks up the kitchen and living areas.
The kitchen opens on to a compact outside spot, where a low covering has been installed to stow a bike and bins.
The master bedroom with its attached bathroom is situated at the back of the property. The room is adorned with a deep grey colour, Down Pipe, from Farrow & Ball, and boasts of white fitted wardrobes and overhead cupboards for storage purposes.
The current house owner hints at the potential for extending the house upwards with a second storey, in compliance with planning permission – a step that many neighbouring homes have already taken.
The owner, who now seeks a larger property closer to the coast, has put this chic, ready-to-move-in cottage up for sale on the market via Allen & Jacobs, at a listed price of €295,000.
