Description
Flynn Estate Agents are proud to present 3a Convent Lane in the heart of Skerries to the market for sale. This hidden jewel is an extended and stunningly presented family home that boasts a wealth of features including a modern, bright and spacious interior and a highly sought after location. With 4 bedrooms, an attic conversion and a peaceful and private garden, this is a rare treat.
The property started life as a small bakery and cottage in the heart of the village and the original bakery wall forms part of the rear garden boundary. This family home was extended, renovated and completely modernised with works finishing in 2017 to create this stunning, modern, spacious home.
At first glance, the facade is modest and well presented with little hint of what lies through the front door. Walking into the hallway the quality of finish immediately becomes apparent, with porcelain tiled floors covering the whole of the ground floor, reflecting light and creating a sense of space. To the front of the property is a cosy lounge with feature Victorian open fireplace. Moving through the house, there is a well equipped utility room with a wealth of built in storage as well as a beautifully tiled guest WC and shower room. The rear of the ground floor and the extension are opened up to create the large open plan kitchen/dining/living space. This room easily accommodates an impressive kitchen with stone work tops, integrated appliances including 2 x oven, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge and separate freezer, plenty of storage and prep space as well as a raised breakfast bar. To the rear are dining and living spaces that overlook the gardens via large, glazed sliding double doors. With these doors open, the boundary between inside and outside disappears and the garden becomes another tranquil living space for the owners to enjoy, with a paved patio for al fresco dining, raised beds and mature planting and a secure shed with power and plumbing.
The first floor offers 4 bedrooms, a family bathroom and hot press. The master bedroom is a large double with a tiled en suite shower off. There are 2 further large bedrooms, one with integrated wardrobes and bedroom 4 makes an ideal children`s room or home office. The family bathroom has bath, WC, wash hand basin and the same high level of finish as the rest of the home. The second floor is given over to a large converted attic room with skylights and helpful storage under the eaves.
The keen eye for detail and acceptance of only the highest quality during the renovation has generated an impressive list of specifications for the fixtures and fittings. These include triple glazing throughout the property, with beautiful sash windows to the front and `tilt and turn` windows with `aluclad` sliders to the rear. The front sills are in blue limestone and there are `Luxaflex` blinds throughout.
