Five Bedrooms and a Quiet Garden in Dublin

$1.8 MILLION (1.625 MILLION EUROS)

This five-bedroom, three-bath house is on a quiet lane in the Ballsbridge neighborhood of Dublin. It was built on the site of a coach house and stables for an adjacent property in the 1970s, when the owners of that property decided to downsize, said Harriet Grant, an agent with Savills, which has the listing.

“Because they were building for themselves in their own garden, they were able to choose the size of the garden for their new mews house,” Ms. Grant said. “So the property has a bigger garden than you would normally get.”

The current owners expanded and modernized the 0.7-acre property in 2003 by extending the foyer and kitchen in the front of the brick house, adding a third floor with a spacious terrace and erecting sliding-glass doors and walls in the living areas for an indoor-outdoor feeling. There is a courtyard garden in the front and a large, professionally landscaped garden in the back. In a nod to the property’s past, two wrought-iron hay feeders remain attached to the stone wall that conceals the home from passers-by, Ms. Grant said.

A wood gate in the wall opens to a paved front courtyard, which has space for parking and a garden with a raised wood deck. Inside the 2,250-square-foot house, a covered entryway opens into a foyer off the dining area, where a glass door slides opens to the courtyard. The kitchen and breakfast room are to the left of the foyer, with glass walls facing the courtyard. The living room extends the width of the back of the house and has glass doors that slide open to the rear garden.
