Description
42 Vernon Avenue is a superb extended four bedroomed family home that offers well-appointed and spacious accommodation throughout including a large, converted attic. Originally a terrace of 8 Victorian red bricks and was known as 'Beechfield Terrace', this beautiful bay windowed property was built circa 1889 and is situated on one of Clontarf's most sought-after roads central to all local amenities. Measuring approximately 238sq.m including the attic of approx. 21sqm, it is both stylish and elegant and is presented in beautiful condition and boasts many original features including cornicing, ornate plasterwork, fireplaces and high ceilings. From the moment you enter this most charming home you are greeted with a great sense of space, warmth and character and it offers versatile accommodation with many wonderful points to note including a large welcoming hallway, guest wc, two sizeable interconnecting reception rooms, an extended open plan kitchen/dining/family room, the modern kitchen is from Scavolini with bespoke hardwood countertops and a separate utility room with access to a private courtyard on the ground floor level. Upstairs on the first-floor return is a double bedroom and large family shower room. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single and the spacious main bedroom includes an en-suite. Stairs lead up to a large, converted attic with a glass wall overlooking the rear garden and beyond and benefits from having separate shower, wash hands basin and wc. There is much desired off-street parking to the front via retractable gates and a pedestrian pathway with original tiles leads to the front door that was replaced 10 years ago but it sympathetic to the house whilst providing a high level of insulation. The private and landscaped garden to the rear is south-west facing with a recently laid patio area with a built-in gas barbeque that is connected to the gas mains in the house. A generous array of plants and shrubs add fantastic colour and interest and a large, detached garage (approx. 33sq.m) to the back of the garden provides additional off-street parking with excellent storage and access out to Vernon Avenue via electric gates.
Clontarf needs no introduction and this super location is hard to beat as you are spoilt for choice with an excellent selection of amenities in the area including shops, boutiques, primary and secondary schools, Nolan's supermarket, fine restaurants, pubs, specialist boutiques and salons. Sporting enthusiasts can enjoy many recreational facilities and sports clubs including Clontarf Rugby & Cricket Club, a selection of golf clubs (including The Royal Dublin and St Anne's golf clubs), St. Anne's Park and Dollymount Strand to name but a few. Commuting further afield is also easily accessible with both the M50 and the M1 motorways located very close by, Dublin Airport is within a 20 minute drive and Dublin City is a close 3kms distance away. The area is very well serviced by public transport and both Killester and Clontarf DART stations are within close proximity. Locations really do not come more central or family friendly! Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this exceptional family home along with a prime and enviable location.
