Description
Set behind a mature, hedged and part walled front garden with a stone paved driveway providing off street parking, the home enjoys a sense of privacy and character from the moment you arrive.
Upon entering, the reception hall leads into the main living room, a comfortable and inviting space centred around an insert stove, ideal for family relaxation. Double doors open into the generously sized kitchen, dining and family area – the true hub of the home. Featuring a Stanley range cooking stove, excellent storage, a dining space and an additional sofa/lounge zone, this open plan area is wonderfully suited to modern family living. French doors lead directly to the southwest facing patio, making the most of afternoon and evening sunshine.
A separate internal hallway leads to the private study, offering a quiet and versatile workspace with its own front entrance – perfect for home working or private consultations. Off this hallway lies a downstairs toilet and shower, exclusively serving the study area. The study itself also opens directly onto the rear patio via double doors, creating a bright and tranquil environment with a pleasant garden aspect.
Completing the ground floor is a spacious front bedroom, ideal for guests, extended family, or as an additional playroom or den – further underscoring the property’s exceptional flexibility for growing families.
Upstairs, the accommodation is anchored by an outstanding main bedroom, formed by combining two original rooms to create a remarkably generous, suite style space. This special room enjoys excellent width, abundant light, and extensive wardrobes – an impressive and rare feature for homes in this area. Two additional bedrooms, suited to children, guests or further workspaces, along with a family bathroom, complete the upper level. While the upstairs retains its traditional charm, it offers excellent scope for modernisation to suit contemporary family preferences.
The large, southwest facing rear garden is one of the home’s finest attributes. Mature planting provides superb privacy, while the expansive lawn offers exceptional outdoor space for children, gardening, entertaining and potential extension (subject to p.p.).
The location is exceptional. Just minutes from Booterstown and Blackrock, the property enjoys close proximity to premier primary and secondary schools including Blackrock College, Willow Park, St. Andrew’s College, Sion Hill, Coláiste Eoin/Íosagáin, Mount Anville and The Teresian School, St. Michael’s College as well as the UCD Belfield Campus and the Smurfit Graduate Business School. Blackrock Village, Merrion and Stillorgan offer excellent shopping, while scenic coastal walks at Booterstown Strand and Blackrock Park are nearby. Ballsbridge and Donnybrook are also convenient. Transport links are first class with Booterstown DART Station, the QBC on the Stillorgan Road and multiple bus routes along the Rock Road and N11.
Combining flexible accommodation, standout garden space and an unrivalled family friendly location, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly charming and adaptable family home in one of South Dublin’s premier addresses. Early viewing with Hooke & MacDonald is strongly recommended.
