IF YOU’RE A history buff, here’s a house you don’t want to miss having a look around.
It was used as a safe house for Michael Collins – although we’re pretty sure it didn’t look like this when he was holed up there – and it’s recently come on the market.
18 Harcourt Terrace, Dublin 2 is on sale for €1,400,000 with Felicity Fox Auctioneers via Daft.ie.
Located very close to St Stephen’s Green, this period house has been extensively renovated and has a red-brick facade and a garden path with Wicklow granite chipping.
Entering the property, the hallway has polished French oak flooring and original ceiling cornicing and picture rail. There is an original staircase with a cloakroom under and a trap door (which may have been where Michael Collins hung out…) as well as a guest bathroom with a power shower off the hallway.
The reception room to the front of the house has bay windows with original shutters and surround. There’s a restored cast-iron fireplace with Victorian surround, and original cornicing, centre piece and picture rails.
