Description
5 Merville Avenue is an utterly charming double-fronted detached bungalow dating from the 1950s, occupying a magnificent mature site of just over one sixth of an acre in one of Stillorgan's most established and highly regarded residential settings. Set behind a walled front garden with generous off-street parking, this appealing home is further distinguished by an extraordinary rear garden which extends to approximately 34 metres (110ft) and provides an exceptional sense of privacy. Positioned in a slightly elevated setting, the property enjoys a wonderful outlook over the beautifully landscaped rear garden, a breathtaking feature that creates a rare sense of peace and seclusion despite its highly convenient suburban location. The site offers enormous scope for a purchaser to further enhance the existing home or explore future development potential, subject to the necessary planning permission. Internally, the property is filled with warmth, character and charm, retaining many original features synonymous with its era including generous ceiling heights, decorative coving, parquet flooring and elegant bay windows. The well-balanced accommodation includes two gracious reception rooms to the front and a kitchen / breakfast room to the rear which takes full advantage of the garden views and opens directly onto the outside space. The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully positioned to the rear of the home and comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, all with fitted storage, together with a modern shower room and separate guest wc. While the property would benefit from some modernisation, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire a very special home in a location of enduring appeal. Merville Avenue enjoys an exceptionally convenient location within easy reach of Stillorgan Shopping Centre, local shopping facilities, a selection of highly regarded schools and excellent public transport links including the N11 Quality Bus Corridor and nearby LUAS, offering swift access to the city centre and surrounding suburbs. The combination of a mature setting, exceptional privacy and superb convenience makes this a particularly special offering.
