TURNING OFF SANDYMOUNT’S Bath Avenue onto Vavasour Square is like stumbling back in time. Right back to the mid-1800s, to be exact.
Each of the houses on the compact square were built by Dutch engineer William Vavasour, and the solidly-built cottages are as charming now as they were close to two hundred years ago.
House 19 is the largest on the square, a double-fronted property which was once home to Vavasour himself.
Over the years it’s been extended rearwards and has been tastefully updated too, making it a comfortable, modern home with plenty of period character.
The corner property has four bedrooms, plus a potential fifth bedroom which could also double as a study or home office. The master bedroom and master bathroom sit on the home’s first level, with the rest of the rooms at ground level.
Living accommodation includes a drawing room, family room with garden access and a bright kitchen/breakfast room that’s flooded with natural light thanks to the large windows and high ceilings.
Vavasour Square enjoys plenty of local amenities including shops, bars and locally-owned restaurants. It’s also within walking distance of Dublin city, and is well served by public transport, with the DART line running past one side of the square.
Sports lovers will feel right at home with the curved arc of the Aviva Stadium rearing up behind the houses, and access to the stadium is simple via Lansdowne Road.
19 Vavasour Square is on sale for €1,250,000 with Sherry FitzGerald via Daft.ie.
