Description
Set within the highly sought-after development of The Gallops in Leopardstown, No. 32 Glencairn Drive represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully appointed and extensively upgraded family home. Properties of this calibre seldom come to the market, and this superb residence (of approx. 189 sq m/ 2034 sq ft ) has been thoughtfully extended and meticulously refurbished to an exceptional standard. The Gallops is a wonderful family friendly development benefitting from a host of amenities, including the Luas at Glencairn within just 550m. The property overlooks an open green to the front and is just moments away from the playground, basketball court and tennis courts within the development.
Originally enhanced by a substantial rear extension in 2008, this double fronted property was fully refurbished in 2019 in contemporary style, leaving no detail overlooked. The result is a stylish and elegant home combining generous proportions with high-quality finishes throughout. Upon entering, a wide and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, featuring elegant wall panelling and high-quality flooring that continues throughout the home. To the left lies a magnificent living room, flooded with natural light from a large picture window overlooking the green to the front. This gracious reception space is centred around a bespoke marble fireplace and offers exceptional proportions, comfortably accommodating a baby grand piano. A second reception room complete with bespoke fitted cabinetry is positioned to the right of the hallway, offering a versatile space ideal as a playroom, home office, or TV room. The heart of the home is the stunning contemporary kitchen/dining and family room positioned to the rear of the property and can also accessed via the main living room. The kitchen is a true showpiece, beautifully designed with a striking quartz central breakfast island and premium integrated appliances, including an impressive Smeg dual fuel Range Cooker. To one side is a spacious dining area with bespoke fitted cabinetry. This space flows effortlessly into the extended family room, with vaulted ceiling and Velux windows, creating a superb, light filled, open-plan living environment ideal for modern family life and entertaining. A sandstone fireplace takes centre stage, adding warmth and character, while French doors open to the rear patio garden providing a wonderful indoor outdoor flow. Off the kitchen, a fully fitted utility room provides excellent additional storage and also enjoys direct access to the garden. The ground floor also accommodates two generous double bedrooms. One is positioned to the rear within the extension, enjoying tranquil views over the garden, while another is located off the main hallway. A beautifully tiled family bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, there are three further spacious double bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring extensive wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes and a luxuriously appointed ensuite shower room. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a door opening to the decorative verandah frame delightful views towards the Dublin Mountains. Two additional double bedrooms to the rear featured fitted wardrobes and are served by a stylish, fully tiled shower room, thus completing the layout.
To the front, a generous driveway provides ample off-street parking for multiple cars. Two gated side passageways lead to the rear garden, one of which has been cleverly covered to create excellent, secure storage space.
The rear garden is a private, low-maintenance haven, fully walled and thoughtfully landscaped. It is laid out predominantly in patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, and is bordered by raised beds filled with mature planting and colourful shrubbery. A garden shed provides additional storage.
