Description
The quintessential charm of this setting will strike you as soon as you arrive at this property. A traffic free enclave surrounding a pretty central green, a wonderful sense of tranquillity and close-knit community prevails. Ideally located just off Kill Avenue, at first glance, this B1 rated property impresses with its generous off-street parking and expansive lawned area to the front—offering excellent potential for further landscaping or additional parking if desired. Behind its modest exterior lies a truly exceptional home. Architecturally redesigned and extended in 2014, this property is a complete “Tardis,” revealing a bright, contemporary interior.
Upon entering you will note that the hallway incorporates a discreet utility closet along with a convenient understairs WC. You are then seamlessly drawn through to the stunning open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space—the true heart of the home. Where once there was a series of smaller rooms on this level, the architect designed upgrading and extension has created one impressive, expansive open-plan space designed in such a manner to cleverly create separate areas within it. It all flows effortlessly and impressively together making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The front living area overlooks the private front garden and features a stylish corner wood-burning stove set into the chimney breast forming an attractive architectural focal point. The kitchen is in the centre of the ground floor and features modern cabinetry and a large island unit. Extensive glazing along the rear elevation floods the space with natural light and visually connects the interior with the beautifully maintained, low-maintenance garden beyond, which was professionally redesigned in 2024.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom that spans the full width of the house. As part of the extension, the property was also built upward, allowing for the creation of a beautifully appointed family bathroom. This space benefits from excellent natural light, enhanced by a high ceiling and rooflights. A cleverly designed glazed panel behind the bath allows light to filter down into the accommodation below, adding another unique architectural feature.
The location of the property is nothing short of superb. Access to the E2 bus is just 4 minutes walk, along with other popular bus routes close by while Monkstown Dart Station is approximately a 15 minute walk away. There are numerous shopping destinations in close proximity including Dun Laoghaire, Deansgrange and Monkstown along with popular cafés and restaurants. There are also a number of highly regarded educational facilities in the area.
All in all, this is a truly special home which must be seen to be fully appreciated. Accommodation
