BUILT IN THE 1950s, 95 Monkstown Avenue is a four-bedroom detached home that has been renovated and modernised to create a property that wouldn’t look out of place in an interior design magazine. 

Inside, the heart of the home a large open-plan living, kitchen and dining area. Added as an extension, this space was clearly designed with modern family living in mind.

High ceilings reach over 3m, while a large atrium roof light illuminates every corner. Furthermore, zoned lighting means you can adjust the brightness to match the atmosphere.
