Description
No. 17 Prince Edward Terrace Lower is a truly distinguished period residence, exuding timeless elegance and charm. Attributed to Irish architect John Skipton Mulvany (1813 1870) this house features particularly fine proportions, over 11ft high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, magnificent original fireplaces, and large mature gardens. This special home, which is beautifully maintained and presented, offers the discerning purchaser a perfect blend of modern conveniences and the original period details of a bygone era. This is a once in a generation opportunity to purchase one of the finest residences along this much sought after terrace in the heart of Blackrock. This double fronted home is accessed via an ample front garden marked by the granite boundary wall and cast-iron gate and railings with granite steps which lead to a wide entrance hall with a graceful and elegant staircase leading to the upper floor. Once you enter the property through the hall door with its magnificent fanlight, you get a taste of what is to come. The welcoming, wide entrance hallway with original polished floorboards is well proportioned with its high ceiling with cornice and centre rose and lovely intricate archway. To the left are two magnificent interconnecting reception rooms which are dual aspect with original matching Carrera marble fireplaces and polished floorboards. There is intricate original cornicing in a Greek Key design which is a signature of Skipton Mulvany. To the right of the hall there is a stunning formal dining room with a fine original black marble fireplace with interconnecting door to a library with a matching fireplace and views over the landscaped rear gardens. Through a decorative archway, stairs lead downstairs to the garden level and upstairs to the bedroom accommodation. On the first-floor landing is an original full length arched window which floods this space with light. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, one en-suite, three very large doubles and a single room which is ideal for a nursery. There is also a spacious family bathroom. At the hall level there are stairs to a glazed door with granite steps to the rear patio and garden. The garden level has solid Oak herringbone flooring by Fired Earth throughout giving a real sense of luxury. There is a lovely dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room with its elegant painted kitchen with Oak worktops, featuring lots of floor units, a free-standing island with marble top and a traditional painted dresser in the breakfast room. All appliances are integrated including a large fridge/freezer and dishwasher with a Smeg gas five ring range for the chefs of the family. French doors open to the limestone patio which is ideal for al fresco dining. There is also a useful walk-in pantry with a tiled floor, Belfast sink and storage unit with shelving providing more storage. This level also features a self-contained apartment. From the front door you are within striking distance of Blackrock Village and the myriad of amenities that it has to offer including a wide range of specialist shops, restaurants, Frascati and Blackrock shopping centres and fantastic transport links including the DART and QBC. Enjoy pleasant walks along the seafront in Blackrock or closer to home in Carysfort Park with its very active athletic club for both adults and children. This property is within the catchment area of several highly regarded primary and secondary schools, such as Carysfort National School a mere 3-minute walk, St. Andrew's College, CBC Monkstown, Willow Park, and Blackrock College, and Sion Hill, making this home perfectly suited to a growing family.
