Description
Situated at the tranquil end of a quiet cul-de-sac within the mature and sought-after Marley Grange estate, 93 Marley Avenue enjoys a truly special setting overlooking a green vista towards the Dargle Valley and river, while also benefiting from close proximity to Marlay Park, one of South Dublin's most valued amenities. The house retains much of its original character and offers a wonderful canvas for refurbishment and modernisation, giving a discerning purchaser the chance to create a home tailored to their own taste and requirements.
Inside, the well-proportioned accommodation reflects the classic layout associated with homes in this estate. While modernisation is required throughout, the generous room sizes, marble fireplace, interconnecting reception rooms and natural flow to the garden highlight the inherent strengths of the property and the potential it offers for a contemporary reconfiguration.
Upstairs, the three bedrooms provide good storage and pleasant outlooks, particularly the two rear rooms which enjoy views over the west-facing rear garden. The bathroom has existing plumbing and fittings, and the landing incorporates a hot-press / airing cupboard. With thoughtful renovation, the first-floor layout can easily be enhanced to maximise comfort and efficiency.
The garage has vehicular access to the front and pedestrian access to the rear via a covered side passage. The front garden is laid out in tarmacadam providing parking for two cars, bordered by mature hedging and a gravelled strip. The rear garden, a standout feature of the property, benefits from a superb west-facing aspect and extends to approximately 20 m (65 ft). It comprises level lawn, mature shrubs and plants, and a private patio area, and is not directly overlooked. The scale of the garden offers excellent potential to extend the property (subject to planning permission) while still retaining generous outdoor space.
The garden is another impressive aspect of the property. Extending to approximately 20 metres (65 ft), the west-facing rear garden is laid out in level lawn with mature shrubs and planting, a private patio area, and excellent privacy due to the lack of direct overlooking. This generous outdoor area provides tremendous scope to extend the property (subject to planning permission), while the mature setting ensures a sense of tranquillity seldom found so close to a major urban park.
