Description
A wonderful opportunity awaits to acquire 45 Lower Albert Road, a truly superb double fronted bay window Victorian villa of elegant proportion, ideally located on Albert Road just a stone's throw from Sandycove, Glasthule and Glenageary Dart station. Approached via granite steps with an original cast iron railing this tastefully presented and beautifully appointed home offers so much and should appeal to empty-nesters and families alike with its hugely versatile layout and private 150ft South facing rear garden.

(1,395sq. ft.) on the upper ground floor and 146sq.m (1,571sq.ft) on the basement level. The current layout offers a discerning purchase the scope to create a truly magnificent home as one or to keep it as two units for investment. On the upper floor there is a wonderfully spacious hallway with a lacquered timber floor, decorative coving and a ceiling rose. To the left is a formal drawing room to the front where a feature marble fireplace and bay window set the tone of this well- appointed room. Opposite is a spacious dining room/bedroom with a feature fireplace, ceiling rose and bay window which enjoys a nice aspect to the front. Off the hallway there are two further generously proportioned bedrooms all retaining original period features To the rear there is an informal kitchen /dining/ area which enjoys a southerly aspect and doors opening out to a balcony which leads down to a private and well stocked rear garden.

To the rear of the garden there is a raised vegetable garden and a stone built shed for storage however this could be converted to an additional garden room if one wanted. The location needs little introduction - situated on Albert Road it is ideally positioned close to the picturesque Villages of Sandycove and Glasthule which offer a host of services and amenities including excellent restaurants, shops and breath-taking coastal walks.
