Description
Old Rathfarnham and Terenure are well known for their 1930`s Art Deco houses. 16 Rathfarnham Park, dating from 1935, is a very original example retaining plenty of attractive Art Deco features, ideal for restoration and modernization. High ceilings, interconnecting main reception rooms and original steel frame box windows and French doors make this a very attractive project.
It is conveniently located between Rathfarnham and Terenure villages, just a short walk from the open green spaces in Bushy Park or Rathfarnham Castle. Nearby, there is an abundance of local amenities including highly regarded schools, sports clubs and golf clubs and a wide range of shops and supermarkets.
A large 110ft long westerly facing back garden gives potential for further development or a garden granny flat (S.P.P.if required) . Access is via a covered side passage. There is also a spacious attic with 2.65 apex height adding to this potential.
Original Art Deco features include:
Hardwood front door with hexagonal top
Steel frame windows including box windows in living room and main bedroom
Steel frame French doors to the conservatory
Wood-panelled hall, stairs and landing
Parlour with brick hearth
Tiled flooring in parlour and entrance porch
Pine floorboards (still intact - no central heating)
Some original fireplaces
Coving in both interconnecting reception rooms
Many original light fittings
Bathroom mirror
Early viewing highly recommended.
