Description
A beautifully presented 1930's Crampton built home that retains many of the original features of the era, ideally situated on highly regarded and sought after road only minutes from the seafront, DART, Booterstown and Blackrock Village. This lovely spacious home with its partially red bricked façade and archway to hall door is approached by a pillared gated entrance to a gravelled driveway with paved pathways, there is off-street parking for two cars. There is hedging to the front providing privacy for the owner and there is bin storage, bike storage and wood storage for the wood burners.
On entering the home, the elegant reception hall immediately sets the tone with high ceilings, polished hardwood floor and carved Oak staircase. On the left there is a very handy cloakroom with extensive built in and understairs storage and a window to the front. To the right are two beautiful interconnecting reception rooms, a living room with bay window overlooks the front and a dining room overlooks and opens into a sunroom with direct access to the large, paved patio area and the rear garden, both rooms retain their original features with timber fireplaces, ceiling coving and picture rails. A kitchen off the sunroom both with pitched pine vaulted ceilings, is flooded in natural light with a large picture window and rooflight, the real heart of the home. There is a den off the kitchen with a wood burning stove and a further room to the left is currently in use as a home office. There is also a large utility and laundry room with wc and a door leading directly to the rear garden.
At first floor level of a wide landing are four well-proportioned bedrooms with the main bedroom availing of a bay window overlooking the front. A family bathroom completes the internal accommodation.
At the 2nd floor level accessed via a bespoke walnut, open tread staircase is another room with shower room ensuite with Velux windows, wardrobes and eaves storage.
The immensely southeasterly private garden is a real feature of this home measuring approx. 23m (57 ft) in length and has been professionally landscaped to include a large, paved patio area and raised flower beds featuring ferns, lavender etc with Silver Birch trees and provides all day sunshine to dine al fresco or just relax. There is extensive storage at the rear of the garden, and this would be an ideal home office, gym or teenage hangout as it has electricity.
The location of St Helens Road could not be beaten being within a short distance of Booterstown and Blackrock Village with its speciality shops, two shopping centres, cafés, restaurants and boutiques it is easily accessed walking through Blackrock Park. The area is surrounded by some of Dublin's most popular schools including Willow Park, Blackrock College, St. Andrews, St. Michaels, Coláiste Íosagáin, Coláiste Eoin, Muckross Park, Mount Anville and Teresians to name but a few. UCD is within walking distance, and the Smurfit Business School is within easy reach. Recreational amenities are well provided for with Blackrock Park just opposite, Elm Park Golf Club, UCD Belfield.
