Description

Nestled along the leafy banks of the River Dodder lies this deceptively spacious and utterly charming south-facing semi-detached family home. Tastefully extended and completely refurbished in 2019 by its current owner, the property offers exceptionally bright, well-proportioned accommodation that is immaculately presented throughout. It enjoys an idyllic, tranquil setting—a rare find in the heart of the city—with picturesque views over the River Dodder, framed by mature trees from the adjacent Dodder Linear Park. From the moment you step inside, this light-filled home exudes a calm, airy atmosphere. Recently upgraded, it offers discerning buyers the best of both worlds: a stylish, future-proofed home that ticks all the boxes while also offering excellent potential for the years ahead—all set in one of the most special riverside settings south of the city centre. The accommodation is spacious and thoughtfully laid out. It comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a cosy living room to the front with a feature fireplace and serene views of the river and surrounding trees and a bright, contemporary open-plan kitchen/living/dining space to the rear—cleverly extended to maximise light and flow. A separate utility room with access to the side of the house and a modern shower room create an ideal space for dropping muddy bags—or indeed muddy paws—after riverside walks. The original garage has been converted into a versatile room, currently in use as a bedroom, but equally suited as a playroom, home office, or au pair suite particularly with the convenience of the downstairs shower room. Upstairs, there are three generously sized bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. Tucked away at the end of the garden is a beautifully finished garden room, currently serving as a multipurpose office and gym, adding further flexibility to this already adaptable home. Outside, the rear garden is wonderfully private and enjoys a perfect southerly orientation, extending to 45ft. Thoughtfully landscaped, it features raised planted beds and a generous patio area ideal for entertaining or relaxing. The large, self-contained garden studio/office completes the space—ideal for those working from home etc To the front, a formal gravelled driveway with mature planting offers off-street parking for up to three cars, accessed via electric gates. Location-wise, the home is situated in a quiet, mature family friendly road that’s exceptionally well connected. Residents enjoy easy access to a host of local amenities in the nearby villages of Rathgar, Terenure and Rathfarnham. An excellent choice of primary and secondary schools, as well as superb transport links, are all within close reach. Local residents particularly appreciate the peaceful riverside walks along tree-lined paths and the convenience of a much-loved coffee dock just a 10-minute stroll away along the Dodder. With SuperValu, a chemist, and all the amenities of Terenure, Rathfarnham and Rathgar within a five-minute radius, this location offers the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility.
