Description

MOVEHOME ESTATE AGENTS ... invite you to experience the the wonderful \'old world\' charm this 4 bedroom period property (circa 1928) offers in abundance. This outstanding extended end of terrace property of 153 sq mtr/ 1,647 sq.ft is quite unique as having only two previous owners since its construction, as a result being a wonderful family home for the past 50 years for the current owners. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a particularly impressive residence, providing wonderfully elegant and light filled accommodation with a beautifully landscaped north facing garden to the rear. The substantial family home requires modernisation throughout and is a fantastic opportunity to put your own touch on an exquisite blank canvas. The property is set back in a cul-de-sac on one Drumcondra's most discreet residential roads (only five houses,) with off street car parking and a long garage to the side. Take a step back in time and appreciate the elegant and tastefully presented accommodation, incorporating many original period features such as all original fireplaces, Stanley stove and original tiled flooring making it a truly magnificent family home, in one of Dublin\'s most sought after and convenient locations. In addition, the property benefits from generous space to the rear which offers excellent scope to extend the existing accommodation, subject to planning permission. The accommodation comprises of double doors leading to the spacious hall, and on to the two beautifully proportioned reception rooms with views through to the gardens, high ceilings and two original fireplaces. From the hall access is enjoyed to the original kitchen where an old Stanley stove sits proudly in the original fireplace. The owners had great respect for the \'hearth of the home\' and built an extension where the large open plan separate kitchen (and downstairs WC) are located. This is a great everyday space and opening out to an old conservatory area which leads on to the beautiful mature landscaped rear garden. A larder and under stair storage complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs off the large landing are the four large bedrooms, one office and a modernised a family bathroom. Attic access is enjoyed from this level and can be converted (subject to P.P.). The impressive and substantial (c. 90ft long) back garden enjoys a northerly orientation and incorporates a generous patio area for entertainment. Landscaped and maintained over the years, the garden is laid out in lawn with a variety of mature trees and specimen shrubs offering a high degree of privacy and a perfect foil for this elegant home. Side pedestrian access leads to the long garage to the side. Clare Park Villas is just a short walk to the heart of the City Centre where every conceivable amenity is at hand. Discreetly positioned within walking distance to the numerous shops, cafes, bars and restaurants Drumcondra Village has to offer. Easy access is enjoyed to the IFSC, East Point Business Park, Croke Park, Dublin Airport, Beaumont, Mater & Temple Street Hospitals, DCU and Trinity and the M1 & M50 motorways. The area is very well serviced by a great public transport system. Drumcondra is also the centre of learning.
