They say never to judge a book by its cover and that certainly rings true when it comes to no. 31 Strandville Avenue.

Behind the quaint fa ade of this terrace cottage lies a deceptively spacious split level interior extending to nearly 1,000 sq ft/93 sq m of living space. The original cottage has been extensively renovated and extended by the current owners to provide a charming home that is ready to move straight into. Another great feature about this property is the garden. Generous in size and a sunny south facing aspect making it ideal for 'al fresco' entertaining or even maintaining your very own private 'city' allotment. Train spotting enthusiasts are in for a treat.

An impressive reception hallway has high ceilings and a decorative arch leading into the kitchen which in turn leads to an en suite bedroom. The original house has a ground floor shower room, bedroom and living room with spiral staircase that leads to a converted attic. From the hall, stairs lead to another en suite bedroom. This property needs to be viewed to appreciate all the time and effort spent on renovations.

For those unfamiliar with the neighbourhood this end of Strandville Avenue is very private; no cars are able to access it from North Strand Road and parking is freely available. This ultra-convenient location is within comfortable walking distance of the city centre, IFSC and East Point Business Park. It is also well serviced by numerous bus routes in and out of the city.
