*** Viewing Thursday 1st July - Text Siobhan Lynam on 087 2737812 to book a time slot *** STUNNING FAMILY HOME TUCKED AWAY BEHIND PRIVATE ELECTRIC GATES....Lynam Auctioneers are delighted to present 86 St Aidan’s Drive, Goatstown, Dublin 14. This home was fully upgraded and extended by current owners in 2008 to a very high standard. It is a very spacious, light filled home that oozes happiness throughout. This truly outstanding, modern, home extends to approximately (2,174 sq.ft) offers wonderfully bright, generously proportioned accommodation in exceptional decorative order inviting the purchasers to literally walk in and hang their coats. This charm filled home is based in the heart of Goatstown is the ultimate in family life; four bedrooms, three bathrooms, sitting and dining room both with fireplace & gas coal effect fire and open plan kitchen, with stove. The kitchen/breakfast/snug room is literally the mecca of this home; the stove makes it so inviting and cosy on a dark winter’s day and yet in summer you overlook the fabulous garden, which is mainly laid in lawn. The location of this superb home needs little introduction situated just off the Goatstown Road which boasts accessibility to Mount Merrion, Dundrum and Stillorgan shopping villages within minutes. Airfield estate is nearby which is popular with families with their excellent facilities and café. 86 St.Aidans Drive is literally minutes away from the vast area UCD has to offer for families, walks, trails etc. There's an abundance of local schools to choose from, including St Killians, Mount Anville, Our Lady's Grove and Saint Michael's College to name but a few. The prospective buyer will benefit from the public transportation routes, Green LUAS line, 11 bus into city center. Alongside that there is also extreme ease of access to the N11 and M50 making commuting to and from the city center / nationwide very simple. The local Aircoach also services the area every 20 minutes. The owners have kept this property to a very high standard throughout and we highly recommend viewing. The property has been fully refurbished, extended and carefully maintained over the years. The front, side and rear garden have been hard and soft landscaped. Opinion of Compliance Certificate (18 April 2008) for the works with Building Regulations and Grant of Planning Permission is available. The property recently received a C1 BER rating which is an excellent result by national standards. Indeed, when the age of the dwelling is taken into consideration, it fares considerably better than most houses built in that era, many of which are in the E and F bracket. The property performs very well in terms of retaining heat and benefits from having had many of the original walls dry-lined and insulated, energy efficient double-glazed windows throughout and attic insulation. The extensions to the front, rear and side also assist the rating as they shelter and insulate the original dwelling. In addition, it has an efficient gas-fired central heating system, with an A-rated condensing Vokera Mynute 35 HE gas boiler of 90% efficiency, with thermostatic valves in the radiators, separate controls for upstairs and downstairs, a hot water cylinder with factory-fitted insulation and energy efficient gas fires in the front living room and kitchen. If the new owner wished to further improve the rating, the biggest impact would be achieved by: a) Upgrading the heating controls to a full zonal system to include separate time controls and room thermostats upstairs and downstairs, and separate time controls for water heating. As the system is already split for upstairs and downstairs, this would not require major plumbing works. b) Insulate the remaining external walls in the original section to bring the u-value (the speed at which heat escapes) down to the current recommended level of 0.25. This could be achieved most cost-effectively by dry-lining them internally with a Kingspan-style thermal board. Addressing those two items alone would bring the rating up to a B2, which would be an exceptional result.
