Description
The Blossom Tree, flowers for just a short period of time every year. In Japan, the 'Sakura festival' is a national event arranged to celebrate its beauty and splendour. The wonder of Blossom Tree House, however with over 40 mature blossom trees, can be admired all year round. An architecturally designed, modern family home at approximately 5,000 sqft (456sqm) which is set on expansive grounds of 1.5 acres, in an intimately private setting, all just a few short minutes' walk from Malahide Village.
Built in the early 90s and recently renovated throughout, this 5-bedroom residence was designed to make the most of the westerly orientation with large, curved windows that match the shape of the property, and French doors from all reception rooms providing direct access to the rear garden and large wraparound patio. The 5,000 or so sq. ft. of accommodation is so well laid out, it could facilitate the requirements of all manner of modern families with space to work from home, entertain friends, dine inside or 'al fresco'. Inside and out, space and privacy are in abundance.
Approached by custom designed electronic gates, the discerning buyer will appreciate the sweeping tree-lined driveway, which creates a level of anticipation for what is to come next and this architecturally stunning, two-storey detached red brick home does not disappoint. A large reception hall sets the tone and features elegant balustrading, charming, tiled floors and recessed spotlights. An expansive split-level staircase offers access to both the ground floor and first floor accommodation. Magnificent picture windows give stunning views of the mature trees, rolling lawns and sweeping driveway to the front.
The accommodation on the lower level is all set to the west. An elegant hallway connects all the rooms, from the drawing room with its beautiful original solid oak wood floors and an elegant feature open fireplace, past the formal dining room and main study, to the rest of this magnificent family home. At the end of this hallway, you are met with a second feature curved staircase, which brings you to the main living accommodation. This comprises of an open plan living / kitchen breakfast room. This is the heart and soul of the home, a beautiful bright space with an open plan layout and a large marble top island unit as the centre piece. There is access through double doors to the sunroom/family room and an enviable utility / pantry with a side door, convenient to unload the shopping or kick off your muddy boots after a walk in the castle or a day in your 1.5 acre garden. On the first floor the bedroom accommodation as below all faces west. There are five bedrooms in total, all well-proportioned double rooms and three newly renovated bathrooms servicing the five bedrooms. The master suite wouldn't be out of place in a five-star hotel. There is a very generous sized en-suite with a large walk-in shower and his & her wash hand basins. A separate door brings you to the large walk-in wardrobe with a unique turret style window, which provides a stunning lookout towards the front gate and south-end lawns.
Outside, the gardens are another key differentiator between Blossom Tree House and just about anything else offered for sale in Co. Dublin this season. Meticulously manicured and mature, the rolling lawns all-round the property are punctuated by stunning mature trees and shrubs. There is a beautiful Stone wall - which can only be observed through the trees - adding old world charm and at 10 feet tall, additional security and privacy.
Malahide is the most sought-after address on the Northside of Dublin and Broomfield may well be the most enviable address in Malahide. This small enclave of large private homes enjoys enough separation from the village to provide a peaceful retreat, whilst still just a short walk from all of the amenities which have made the village so popular. There is Malahide Lawn Tennis and Croquet club, along with Malahide Yacht club, Malahide Cricket Club (now home to Cricket Ireland) and Malahide Golf club, along with many of the water sports available along the estuary. Malahide Castle also caters for a variety of other sports and outdoor pursuits. Malahide is a vibrant, busy coastal village, rich in history and amenities.
With an abundance of dining choices, and well-established family run bars, there is a great vibrancy to the village, both throughout the day and into the evening. There are some excellent local schools, both primary and secondary, and a selection of reliable transport options to help manage the short commute to the city or the airport just 9km away.
Blossom Tree House is available to view strictly by appointment only, through Lisney Sothebys International Realty. Accommodation
