Renovate Your House & Home
Summer 2004

OUTSIDE IN
Light, bright and oh-so-stylish, this sleek Dublin city pas is a renovation lesson in just how to create a seamless, coherent space, bringing the outside in, while not scrimping on comfort and practicality.

INSIDER INFO
The Owner: Donal Clissman
The Location: Ringsend, Dublin.

“I wanted somewhere accessible to the city and near the neighbourhood in which I grew up. There are a lot of apartments going up nearby but there is still a community feeling. The facilities are good. I’m a five-minute walk from the Dart Station. There’s a huge park nearby as well as a new sports stadium. And the proximity of the East Link Bridge means I can be in the airport within half an hour.”
Type of house: A red brick Edwardian mid-terrace.
Purchase Price: The asking price was €180,000 in an executor’s sale and the combination of the owner’s bargaining skills and the lack of competition meant he secured it for less than that.
