Situated in Bray, Co. Wicklow, this home — currently owned by botanical artist Erica Devine — is wonderfully decorated, and can be yours for €495,000.
Situated in a quiet location but just five minutes walk away from the Bray seafront, the two-bedroom terraced property may already look nice from the outside — but its character really shines when you open the front door.
The welcoming entrance hallway boasts storage units and a handy guest toilet, wonderfully decorated with its own stamp collection, immediately setting the tone for the rest of the house, which has been beautifully and meticulously decorated.
The comfortable, dual-aspect living room is to the left of the entrance, and benefits from new triple-glazed windows while the original front window frames are preserved. Custom stained-glass windows have been placed in the frames to make a lovely feature. An open fireplace and built-in bookshelves complete the room, boasting a wonderfully cosy environment.
Heading into the kitchen, Ms Devine’s decorative skills are on full display — boasting solid-oak countertops and bespoke cabinetry, two of which have their doors featuring botanical casting reliefs in graphite and resin. The fired earth marble splashback, along with a range of integrated appliances and a cast-iron fireplace, completes the kitchen.
Heading up the stairs are the two bedrooms, both of which boast beautiful sea views. The master bedroom is, once again, detailed with botanical relief wallpaper, while the family bathroom includes a bath and electric shower, a wildflower bathroom cabinet, and a stunning mural depicting Roy Lichtenstein’s Water Lilies.
The home features a magical rear courtyard garden, laid with gravel and hosting a lovely variety of shrubs and climbing plants, including a mature jasmine plant.
As for location, the home is ideally situated in a tranquil avenue, but is a stone’s throw from Bray town centre and its picturesque seafront. The DART and a host of amenities and facilities are located in Bray, while a terrific selection of sporting facilities, clubs, and schools complete the home’s ideal location.
3 Carlisle Terrace, Duncairn Avenue, Bray, Co Wicklow is available via Sherry Fitzgerald, with an asking price of €495,000.
