Description
A most attractive gable-fronted family home built c. 1936. Complete with garage and a separate unit with kitchenette and shower this property offers spacious and flexible accommodation over two levels. Set well back from the road the property immediately impresses on arrival with wonderful frontage and a sweeping gravelled driveway providing parking for several cars. Eight smart birch trees provide privacy and screening and define the garden with its' large lawned area to the front and is further complemented by well-established flowerbeds with specimen shrubs and trees.
An arched hall door leads to the hall with stained glass windows and terrazzo floor providing more than just a nod to its 1930s origin. From here you enter the dual aspect living room with parquet floor, bathed in light thanks to two bay windows. A deep-set window enjoys views of the stunning garden to the back and the front bay opens out to the garden at the front. A feature fireplace with a log-burning stove adds warmth and character, and a door leads to a convenient storeroom.
To the other side of the hall is the dining room with parquet oak flooring and recessed fireplace. The kitchen is the hub of the house and provides access to the sunroom at the back. It also leads to the family cum TV room to the side of the house with its own front door ideal for independent access. This wing continues to a guest toilet and utility room and includes a fourth bedroom with ensuite. This flexible space is perfect as a granny flat, au pair suite, or for multi-generational living.
Upstairs the main bedroom enjoys a wonderful bay window with breathtaking views of Dublin Bay out towards Howth. It is fitted with wardrobes and display cabinets and benefits from an ensuite shower room. In addition there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
A standout feature of this house are the spacious, well-established, private gardens to the front and rear. Positioned on just under half an acre (0.454 acres/0.1838 ha approx.) the gardens are spacious both front and rear. A raised, paved patio area provides the perfect spot for outdoor enjoyment with fabulous views of the garden. A well clipped hedge with archway leads to a pathway which in turn leads to a central gravelled feature flower bed with stunning acer. This area provides a central focal point and another seating area with swings and seating from which to enjoy the mature garden. To the back of the garden there is a potting shed and a bike shed. In addition a cedarwood cabin provides for a mini-spa experience with infra-red sauna, a steam therapy shower, wash hand basin and toilet and a six seater jacuzzi. There is a deck outside the cabin which provides another seating area from which to enjoy the uniquely private and mature setting.
OUTSIDE: Large front garden in lawn with mature flower beds and eight birch trees enhancing privacy and seclusion. There is a garage to the side of the house with arched wooden doors. Occupying just under half an acre, the gardens to both front and rear are a defining feature of the property — beautifully landscaped, private, and rich in mature planting.
A raised paved patio provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining while enjoying idyllic garden views. A neatly clipped hedge with an arched opening lead to a pathway and a central gravelled feature bed, highlighted by a striking acer tree — a stunning focal point. A truly unique highlight is the cedarwood cabin, thoughtfully designed as a private wellness retreat. It features an infra-red sauna, steam therapy shower, wash hand basin and wc and a six-seater jacuzzi.
