Description

Michael Roberts Estate Agents are delighted to bring to the market a beautifully proportioned and lovingly restored three-storey red brick Victorian home in one of Limerick's most sought-after residential areas. Built circa 1870, this large gable-end house has undergone a stunning transformation by its current owners who married classic period style with fresh contemporary flourishes to create a warm, inviting and thoroughly attractive home. Boasting a rare complete set of original features, this substantial, light-filled property has maintained its historical purity in the high ceilings, original fireplaces, fully functioning shutters, stonework reveals, cast iron radiators, Victorian tiles and much more. Its soft Farrow and Ball colour scheme is complemented with traditional antique brass-style fittings and bespoke wooden panelling and wainscoting. Of particular note is the spectacular kitchen/dining room with high ceilings, hand painted Shaker kitchen, French limestone flagstones and solid marble counter. Velux windows and downlighters flood the area with light while high-end appliances include a six-ring gas range cooker and a stunning 16kw double-sided multifuel stove, perfect for entertaining. An eye-catching wooden wine storage wall was specially crafted to the client's specifications, offering an attractive feature as well as ample storage space. The living room is spacious and sun-filled in the evening, offering a warm and cosy retreat. The room next door is currently in use as a study, but could easily serve as a second TV room, a gym or a fourth bedroom if needed. Upstairs, two bedrooms were joined to create a large master suite with walk-in closet and en suite bathroom with shower. The second bedroom features an original fireplace and hearth and the third bedroom includes extensive built-in storage and a bathroom with a distinctive roll-top cast iron bathtub and shower. The outside areas were landscaped by professional designers to include mature planting, built-in seating, an extensive lawn and a remarkable sunken garden that offers complete privacy and ample sunshine - a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city. Superbly located at just seven minutes' walk from Limerick city centre and five minutes' drive from the M7 motorway. In the very immediate area lie some of Limerick's finest primary and secondary schools, as well as Mary Immaculate College and UL City Centre Campus.
