Description
Number 18 Craiglands is a superb mid-terrace, two-bedroom home, ideally positioned in an elevated setting within this highly sought-after private development just off Ardeevin Road, and within walking distance of Dalkey Heritage Town. Recently renovated to an exceptional standard, the property boasts a B3 energy rating and is presented in true turnkey condition.
The current owner has undertaken extensive upgrades, including the installation of triple and double-glazed windows, internal insulation throughout, a new electric heating system, and solar panels, ensuring both comfort and energy efficiency for modern living.
Extending to approximately 65 sq. m (700 sq.ft), the accommodation is thoughtfully laid out. At ground floor level, a cosy sitting room to the front features a charming wood burning stove and flows seamlessly into a bright, light-filled kitchen/dining room. This space is enhanced by a stunning bespoke Rhatigan & Hick kitchen, complete with marble countertops, integrated appliances, and clever under-stairs storage. French doors open onto a private, sunny south-westerly facing rear garden, extending to approximately 15 metres. The garden features a suntrap patio bordered by a rockery with mature planting—ideal for al fresco dining—while steps lead to an elevated lawn area with a garden shed to the rear.
Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes. The front bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook over the communal grounds with a glimpse of the sea. A newly appointed bathroom, which also accommodates the washing machine, completes the accommodation. Additional features include a hot press on the landing and access to the attic, providing excellent storage space.
The communal grounds are beautifully maintained with mature landscaping throughout. The property also benefits from a one parking space, along with ample visitor parking.
Dalkey Heritage Town is quite literally on your doorstep, offering an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, pubs, and boutique shops, including Thyme Out, Robert's, Finnegan's, The Queen's, and DeVille's. Nearby coastal amenities such as Coliemore Harbour and The Vico bathing area are just a short stroll away and are popular spots for sea swimming. The surrounding area is renowned for its natural beauty, with scenic walks along Vico Road, Killiney Hill, and the Forty Foot in Sandycove.
Dún Laoghaire Harbour and its sailing clubs are approximately 2km away, providing superb facilities for marine enthusiasts. Transport links are excellent, with Dalkey DART station just a two-minute walk from the property, along with regular bus services and the Aircoach offering direct access to Dublin Airport.
