Description
A most impressive Victorian family home, which has undergone an extensive renovation and contemporary extension resulting in a high specification, energy-efficient, luxurious family home. The house is further complimented with a bespoke architecturally designed studio, a private off street car parking space via rear vehicular access, all set on secluded landscaped gardens. Upon entering it is quite apparent that the standard of finish and quality building materials used have attributed to an impressive B3 energy rating. The underfloor heating and Reynaers windows and doors throughout, ensure the energy costs are kept to an absolute minimum. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a truly unique family home on what is widely regarded as one of Rathgar's premier roads, Garville Road.
The well-appointed accommodation which enjoys an abundance of natural light throughout extends to 218 sq.m. / 2.346 sq.ft. approx.) comprises reception hallway with a guest wc, two interconnecting reception rooms and to the rear a very generous and contemporary open plan kitchen/ dining room/ family room (with a cleverly concealed utility and cloak room) all opening on to the private landscaped rear gardens. The feature custom designed staircase leads to the first floor which hosts four double bedrooms, the master suite has a practical wet room/shower room. There are three other generous bedrooms and a family bathroom on that complete the internal accommodation. To the rear of the garden is The Nest, which is a detached (25 sq.m.) unique studio which enjoys its own separate access.
A splendid pebble path leads to the granite steps to front of the building. To the rear, the landscaped garden is a very secluded and private space. There is a tiled patio area offering excellent scope for outdoor entertaining and dining with a minimal maintenance lawn to the rear. Through the handcrafted stone walls by stonemason, Michel Renaudin, reveals a secluded south facing garden with The Nest, a detached garden house which serves a variety a uses such as a studio, a home office or a gym. The possibilities are endless.
Considerable thought, effort, investment was poured into its layout, flow, design and fit-out - both inside and out with particular attention to the storage solutions throughout this cleverly architecturally designed home.
