Description

Set on a notably generous site within a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac just off prestigious Butterfield Avenue, No. 32 is an impressive four-bedroom detached residence extending to approx. 1,479sq. m. Built in the early 1950s by its original owner, an excellent building contractor, this much-loved family home has served three generations and now awaits its next chapter. This substantial property enjoys wrap-around gardens on three sides, offering excellent privacy and a tranquil setting. With such an expansive plot, there is exceptional potential to extend the home to the side and/or rear (subject to planning permission), making it a rare find for those seeking space and scope to grow. Inside, No. 32 exudes charm and character. The interior is both warm and inviting, with generously proportioned rooms and the high ceilings more typically found in homes of an earlier era. Original features abound, including ornate coving, quality joinery, and elegant architraves and skirting boards, all testament to the craftsmanship of its time. While the property has been carefully maintained and sensitively modernised over the years, it presents a wonderful canvas for imaginative upgrades and further enhancement to meet contemporary family living needs. The beautifully maintained front garden is fully walled and thoughtfully landscaped with mature trees and a variety of established shrubs, creating a charming first impression. A driveway provides convenient off-street parking. To the side, a generous 24ft-wide garden offers superb potential for extension or further landscaping (subject to planning permission). To the rear, the private garden is a tranquil haven stretching approximately 55ft in length. Lushly planted with an array of vibrant shrubs, creepers, and bamboo trees, it offers a peaceful and secluded retreat—perfect for outdoor dining, relaxation, or gardening enthusiasts. This is a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a distinctive home with timeless appeal and enormous potential, set in an idyllic and convenient location. Ideally positioned for family convenience, No. 32 is within easy reach of an excellent selection of both primary and secondary schools. Just a short stroll away lies Rathfarnham Shopping Centre, with easy pedestrian access via the picturesque river Dodder walkways. Nearby, residents can enjoy the open green spaces and recreational amenities of Bushy Park, Orwell Park, and Dartry Park. The surrounding villages of Rathfarnham, Templeogue, and Terenure offer a host of cafés, boutiques, and local services, while a number of well-serviced Dublin Bus routes provide swift access to the city centre and beyond.
