Description
A residence of rare charm with gardens of singular distinction.
Aurora is a residence that immediately stirs a sense of calm and timelessness. Set discreetly back from the road in a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac, this much-loved family home exudes an inviting warmth from the moment one arrives. Its gracious proportions, gentle light and classic character create an atmosphere of comfort and ease, while the extraordinary gardens renowned for their horticultural pedigree lend the property a beauty and refinement seldom encountered in such a central location. With immense potential to extend, subject to planning permission, Aurora invites its next custodian to imagine and shape a home of exceptional distinction.
Extending to approximately 180 sq.m /1,938 sq.ft, the interiors have been cherished and impeccably maintained. The welcoming entrance hall leads to a pair of elegant interconnecting reception rooms, each filled with soft, natural light and offering a graceful flow ideal for both entertaining and quiet evenings by the fire. A charming sunroom opens directly onto the garden, encouraging the landscape to become a daily part of life. The kitchen and breakfast room form a bright and friendly hub at the heart of the home, while the converted garage, currently a substantial utility and service room, presents remarkable flexibility for reconfiguration or integration. Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms which enjoy views over the gardens and a single, accompanied by a recently refitted family bathroom. Above, a very large, floored attic offers exceptional scope for conversion, inviting further possibility for those seeking additional space.
The gardens at Aurora are truly the soul of the property - crafted, nurtured and refined with an expert hand and a lifelong passion for horticulture. The expansive south-facing rear garden, extending to approximately 33 metres / 108 feet, unfolds in a series of beautifully composed spaces where mature specimen trees, rare shrubs and richly planted borders create a living tapestry of colour and texture throughout the seasons. Sun terraces catch the light from dawn to dusk, offering tranquil places to read, dine or simply listen to the gentle movement of leaves. A serene pond forms a natural focal point, its soft water sounds enhancing the sense of retreat (sculpture not included). The greenhouse by Elite and the block-built potting sheds with lighting stand as quiet testaments to the artistry and care invested in the grounds. To the front, the long garden, extending to approximately 29 metres / 95 feet, creates an elegant approach, with ample parking framed by mature planting that offers both beauty and complete privacy.
Stillorgan Park is one of South Dublin's most desirable addresses: leafy, peaceful and perfectly poised between the vibrant villages of Stillorgan, Blackrock and Foxrock. Here, tranquillity blends effortlessly with convenience. A short stroll brings you to an array of cafés, shops and restaurants, while nearby Blackrock and Foxrock offer boutique amenities, coastal walks and gourmet destinations. Families benefit from proximity to many of Dublin's most esteemed schools, including Blackrock College, Willow Park, St. Andrew's College, Loreto Foxrock, Coláiste Eoin, Coláiste Íosagáin, Teresians and Muckross Park College. Excellent public transport via the DART at Blackrock and numerous bus routes along the N11, together with swift access to the M50, ensures effortless connectivity.
