Coolahra is a late Georgian period home set in one of the most convenient locations close to the city centre. Sundays Well is renowned for it's elegant period homes, stunning views and convenience to the city centre, Coolahra possesses all three of these prized attributes and then some. Built in the mid 1800's the property is a classic example of late Georgian architecture with soaring ceiling heights, elegant proportions and Italianesque garden terraces running down to the banks of the Lee. In more genteel times the river frontage was used as a mooring point for punts, rowing boats and the like, today however children of the modern generation might use it to moor a kayak or canoe.    Coolahra is grand in the best sense of the word but at the same time it has a warmth and charm which lends it a wonderful feeling of homeliness. The property has been modernised and re-modelled over the years without losing any of that all important character, in fact it juxtaposes period elegance with modern convenience perfectly, a winning formula by anyone's standards. The property is laid out over three storeys and hugs the lower south facing slope of Sundays Well Road. A light filled kitchen/breakfast room and sun room, formal dining room, guest bedroom, bathroom and laundry occupy the lower floor. While the upper storeys contain a magnificent drawing room, library, bedrooms, studio, garage and various storage rooms. Mercifully the property survived the 60's and 70's so many of the original period features are still intact with plaster cornicing, ceiling roses, architrave and fireplaces sprinkled liberally throughout the property. The gardens at Coolahra are truly stunning, there are views to die for, lawns and terraces at different levels and a mix of mature trees, shrubs and specimen planting. Off the sunroom there is a delightful terracotta paved patio facing due south and taking in views of the river, St. Finbarr's Cathedral, UCC and the tennis courts on the Mardyke. The property also boasts off-street parking and a garage which is something of a rarity in this location. Properties of this calibre are a rare find indeed, mere words won't do it justice so arrange a viewing and get a more tangible feel for this truly wonderful home.
