Description
Set well back from the road behind mature hedging and cast-iron entrance gates, 237 Lower Kilmacud Road is a substantial, double-fronted five-bedroom detached residence occupying a superb, private site in the heart of Kilmacud. This impressive family home is presented in excellent decorative order and offers wonderfully versatile accommodation of generous proportions extending across three levels — including a certified attic conversion and a stunning open-plan kitchen/living/dining space that connects seamlessly with the mature rear garden.
Notably, the property is now positioned at the head of a newly formed cul-de-sac, offering an enhanced sense of privacy, peace, and safety — a valuable improvement made only this year.
The location is second to none — nestled between Stillorgan and Dundrum, with an abundance of amenities close at hand. Local shops are just across the road, and both the Kilmacud and Stillorgan LUAS stops are within easy walking distance. Highly regarded schools are nearby, including Mount Anville, which backs directly onto the property and provides a high degree of seclusion to the rear garden. UCD, Dundrum Town Centre, Deerpark, and excellent transport links to the city centre are all easily accessible.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded over time to create a warm and functional family home. A wide central hallway sets the tone, with interconnecting reception rooms to the front and an exceptional open-plan kitchen/dining/family space to the rear — complete with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, extensive glazing, and direct access to the south-facing garden. A versatile ground-floor room, currently used as a fifth bedroom, also works well as a TV room, study, or playroom. A guest WC and large utility room complete the ground floor.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a luxurious main suite with walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom, along with a family bathroom. The attic level is converted and features two Velux windows and eaves storage — ideal as a home office, den, or creative space.
Outside, the front garden is exceptionally private with mature planting, a lawn area, and secure cobble-lock parking for 45 cars. The rear garden enjoys superb seclusion with a sunny south-facing orientation and backs onto the grounds of Mount Anville School. Side access is available on both sides of the house, including a covered storage area and a courtyard linking to the utility room.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special family home on one of the most desirable roads in Dublin 14 — now made even more appealing by its new cul-de-sac setting. Accommodation
