Description

A truly rare opportunity to purchase this magnificent riverside period residence with considerable potential for further development (subject to p.p). Nestling within woodlands just off Riversdale Avenue on c.1.6 acres this property offers privacy and seclusion within the heart of Dublin 6. Steeped in history and beautifully presented with spacious accommodation throughout, it retains many original features such as sash windows, original shutters, marble fireplaces, ornate plasterwork and bay windows. A light filled glass conservatory with succulent vines completes this splendid property enhanced by breathtaking views over the natural woodland. The house is located on an elevated site which is surrounded by gracious manicured lawns, mature trees, herbaceous boarders and colourful flowers. Below the house are natural woodlands and path trails which lead down to a weir and extensive frontage on to the River Dodder. Rarely does such a property like this come to the market offering huge development potential (subject to p.p.) and would ideally suit either a developer or someone looking for a more tranquil place to live. The address speaks for itself with fashionable Terenure and Rathgar villages which have bustling restaurants and shops on its door step.
