Description
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial five-bedroom detached family residence in one of South County Dublin's most desirable residential settings.
Constructed in the early 1980s and meticulously maintained throughout, 53 Glenageary Woods presents an elegant balance of generous proportions, light-filled interiors, and superb outdoor space. Extending to a highly adaptable layout that includes a converted attic and a magnificent rear extension, this impressive home is perfectly suited to modern family living.
A large enclosed porch opens to a welcoming and generously proportioned reception hall, immediately setting the tone for the scale and warmth that defines this home. From here, the principal accommodation unfolds - a spacious sitting room ideal for both formal entertaining and relaxed evenings; a bright kitchen/breakfast room forming the heart of the home and a versatile home office/playroom.
To the rear, a substantial extension further enhances the property. This striking space features a vaulted ceiling and overlooks the beautifully private west-facing garden. Bathed in natural light, it offers exceptional flexibility and incorporates a shower room and utility area, seamlessly blending practicality with architectural interest.
Upstairs, five well-appointed double bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. From the spacious landing, a stairwell leads to a converted attic — ideal for storage — complemented by extensive under-eaves storage space.
The property is approached via a large private driveway providing ample off-street parking for numerous cars. Vehicular side access leads to the expansive rear garden, a wonderfully private and sunny west-facing retreat — perfect for outdoor dining, family recreation, and gardening enthusiasts alike. An extensive purpose-built garden store is conveniently positioned to the side of the house. The overall site area extends in excess of a Fifth of an acre.
Glenageary is widely regarded as one of South County Dublin's most sought-after suburbs, prized for its mature setting, proximity to the sea, and exceptional amenities. The property is within comfortable strolling distance of the vibrant centres of Dún Laoghaire, Sandycove and Glasthule, all renowned for their specialist boutiques, cafés, public houses, and some of the finest restaurants in the South County Dublin.
Recreational amenities abound. Nearby Thomastown Park and Hudson Park offer excellent sports facilities and a playground, while the historic harbour at Dún Laoghaire is home to an extensive marina and several prestigious yacht clubs, providing a wealth of sailing and maritime pursuits. Numerous tennis clubs and golf courses further enhance the area's appeal.
The neighbourhood is exceptionally well served by public transport, including quality bus routes, a local DART station, and the Aircoach with direct hourly service to Dublin Airport.
For everyday convenience, shopping is well catered for at Glenageary Roundabout and the nearby Park Pointe Shopping Centre, home to Tesco, Boots and Costa Coffee.
Combining scale, privacy, and a superb coastal setting, 53 Glenageary Woods represents a rare opportunity to secure a distinguished family home in an established and highly regarded address. With its generous living spaces, extensive garden, and proximity to outstanding amenities, this is a property of enduring quality and appeal. Accommodation
