Description

No 2 Green Park was built in 1932, by John Kenny, a renowned builder of some repute in the design and construction of superior detached homes in both Rathgar and Mount Merrion, on Dublin’s southside. This is a fine example of his vision with 230 sq. m (2,475 sq.ft.) of light filled accommodation of elegant proportions, set amidst wonderful mature gardens of approximately 0.3 acre. Overlooking the picturesque fairways of Milltown Golf Club front and rear coupled with the perfect south westerly orientated gardens to the rear, this is truly a home of distinction. The instantly recognisable design features synonymous with Kenny’s derivative of English vernacular architecture are clearly evident, with the red roof tiling, stucco plasterwork, corbelled tile detailing and distinctive chimney brickwork to mention a few. Internally this is a warm and inviting home of gracious proportions, which are enhanced by a wealth of period detail throughout, including original cornicing with centre roses, fine joinery with stylised squared architraves, mahogany stair ballustrades, original mahogany fire mantels with inlay and mouldings, and many more examples of exemplary craftsmanship are evident throughout. Occupied and enjoyed by its current owners for many years, this home has been sensitively updated and modified with the only major addition being a spacious Sun Room which provides the perfect link and a lovely reception room between house and garden. The accommodation briefly comprises; Hall, four interconnecting Receptions Rooms and a Kitchen with adjoining Utility Room. At First Floor there are five Bedrooms, four of which are generous double rooms, off the spacious gallery style Landing. The Principal Bedroom is with En-suite and there is a family Shower Room with separate WC. The location needs little introduction, with an enviable range of facilities at hand; excellent shopping at Rathgar, Churchtown and Dundrum, with a selection of restaurants, coffee shops and specialty shops. Milltown Golf Club is literally just across the road with the Castle Golf Club nearby as well as a selection of walks and leisure facilities at nearby Orwell, Dartry and Bushy Parks. The M50 is easily accessible while the LUAS makes light work of the short commute to the city centre and beyond. Some of Dublin’s premier schools are at hand; Alexandra College, The High School, Stradford College, Taney and Kildare Place National Schools are just a few to choose from.
