It is Sherry FitzGerald's absolute privilege to bring to the market no 44 College Grove. This largely extended, remodelled and fully renovated detached property boasts a stunning west facing landscaped rear garden and occupies a prestigious position overlooking a large green, in this quiet cul de sac. No 44 boasts an impressive B3 BER rating and presents in turnkey condition, which is testament to the vendors exquisite taste and flair in creating a magnificent family home, with quality fixtures and fittings which will appeal to the discerning purchaser. Amongst a host of extras are, underfloor heating at ground floor level, a heat recovery ventilation system (HRV) and a central vacuum system as well as electric underfloor heating mats beneath the marble floors in the bathrooms upstairs.
To the front, wooden gates open to the cobble lock driveway which accommodates off-street parking for two cars. The driveway is bordered by raised beds, containing a mix of perennial shrubs and seasonal bedding. Side access leads to the magnificent sunny west facing rear garden where it is obvious to see that a keen gardener is at work. Designed with low maintenance in mind, Indian Sandstone combines with a raised deck which is angled to maximise the clever strategic planting of well-chosen shrubs including magnolia, acer, grasses, buxus, mature photinia, ferns, rose and heathers. A feature architectural wall with a bench built into it is striking and is back planted with bamboo. Garden lighting and wiring for speakers will add to the enjoyment that can be had here. A cleverly designed & attractive block built shed is tucked away into the corner, it has power and a pretty window, and maximises storage. A separate plant room houses the heat recovery system, upgraded gas boiler, and central vacuum system.
College Grove is enviably located right in the heart of Castleknock Village within walking distance of Castleknock College, Mount Sackville and St. Brigids National School amongst others. It's proximity to the Village and the Phoenix Park ensures an unrivalled location to set up home. There are excellent bus and rail services to City Centre and access to the N3, M3 and M50 is very convenient.
In summary this is an opportunity not to be missed, to acquire one of the best homes to come to the market in Castleknock Village in this price range and viewing is highly recommended.Accommodation
