High above Howth village, Kitestown Road still has the feel of a country lane in an area of the northside suburb popular with summit-bound walkers. The owners of Kalivez were familiar with the tall semi-detached Victorian long before they bought it having admired the house from their walks, and once they saw the For Sale sign 26 years ago âwe nearly bought it before we saw [inside] itâ.
Now moving â not far, they have built a smaller, modern home in the garden â the 2,240sq ft (208sq m) property is for sale through Gallagher Quigley for â¬1.2 million.
Moving in they found little to change, eventually glazing the kitchen roof for more light, and enlarging the family bathroom.
