What looks like a traditional Dublin redbrick on the outside, is a slick, modern and chic escape behind closed doors.

The latest house for sale that has slipped under our radar since it was first listed back in November, is this five bedroom, three bath beauty in Portobello, Dublin 8. The house consists of three floors, all of which are beautifully decorated with sophisticated interiors and plenty of light (which is key), making for the perfect place to lounge, host and return to once the clock strikes 6pm. We're mainly taken back by the kitchen which is located on the ground floor yet thanks to smart planning and plenty of windows, it's as bright as a penthouse apartment on a summer's day. Want a look around?

Open plan sitting room/dining room

The flushed fire and TV create more space in the room, with the couch separating spaces without the need for walls.

Kitchen

Without a shadow of a doubt the selling point of this house. The retractable windows, glass stairs and glass flooring means it's all about light and space.

Master bedroom

Fresh colours and again, a beautiful large window for waking up to the world.

Upstairs hall

Pastel hues making the place look chic, and minimal furniture to keep the place spacious. The exposed brick is also a winner for us.

Back garden

Imagine entertaining friends and family here during the summer?

Sitting room

A different vibe to the rest of the house but still oozing glamour with warmer tones and plenty of velvet. This room would make for the perfect cinema room. Dreamy. But obviously, it goes without saying that a property like this in a location as central as Dublin 8 does not come cheap. The house is currently retailing for €1.5million on Knight Frank auctioneers.
