Description
Carbery is an outstanding fully refurbished and extended semi-detached residence set in the prestigious enclave of Grove Avenue in Blackrock. This property combines modern elegance and exceptional craftsmanship in one of south county Dublin's most highly desirable suburbs.
Superbly positioned, set in a serene setting behind double electric timber gates, the property is approached by mature hedging with off street car parking to the front, electric car charger and gated side access. Golden granite kerbing and chippings, along with White Hydrangea planted flower borders (spectacular in summer), add to the understated elegance of the front approach.
The beautifully presented and well-proportioned accommodation at Carbery extends over two floors and has been thoughtfully designed to combine practicality with luxury. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright and spacious hallway with French doors, bespoke panelling, and hardwearing Jura limestone flooring, setting the tone for the quality throughout. To the front of the house lies a stylish living room with a feature limestone fireplace, recently integrated with a high-efficiency Stanley Stove wood burner and plantation shutters, while to the rear, the heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/living area. This space is a true showpiece, with custom cabinetry, premium Smeg appliances, Villeroy & Boch fittings, and sliding doors opening to the generous rear garden - perfect for entertaining or everyday family life. A separate cosy TV room offers flexibility for use as a home office, playroom, or second reception room.
Upstairs, there are four generously sized bedrooms, three of which feature built-in wardrobes and two boasting luxurious ensuite shower rooms with Carrera marble finishes. A beautifully appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation, while a large, fully floored attic with light switch - accessible via Stira stairs—offers great storage space currently and excellent potential for conversion.
Every detail of Carbery reflects a careful consideration of quality, style, and comfort.
The rear garden at Carbery is a beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully designed outdoor haven, featuring a spacious porcelain tiled patio, mature trees, and bespoke cottage-style planting in custom wooden planters. Wooden steps lead to a sun-drenched lower garden with high-quality artificial grass for easy maintenance. A cedar-clad, A-rated garden room offers the perfect blend of function and comfort—fully insulated, triple-glazed, CAT 5 cabled, and plumbed for a future bathroom, making it ideal as a home office, gym, or private retreat. Enhanced with ambient outdoor lighting, it provides excellent versatility and year-round usability. A charming pergola adorned with climbing roses, wisteria, and clematis creates a picturesque backdrop visible from the dining area, while a gated and covered side entrance offers practical, secure outdoor storage, for bicycles and the like.
The location would be difficult to better situated within a short stroll of the bustling villages of Blackrock and Stillorgan with their host of cafes, restaurants, bars and boutique style shops. There are two shopping centres within Blackrock with an excellent array of shopping facilities. The property is situated close to excellent recreational amenities with easy access to three local parks, Blackrock Park, Carysfort Park and Rockfield Park. There are an abundance of sports and fitness clubs available within the immediate area including Green Road tennis club, Granada FC soccer club and an abundance of gyms and fitness centres and swimming pools, including the Olympic size swimming pool at nearby UCD gym, open to outside members. The home is ideally located near some of South County Dublin's most highly south sought after schools including Blackrock College, Willow Park, Saint Andrews and Newpark School as well as being in the catchment area for the much-desired Carysfort National School. The UCD Smurfit Business School is within a short stroll and there are immediate bus and cycle ways bringing you to UCD main campus. The property benefits from excellent public transport links including the DART and multiple bus routes, including the N11 Quality Bus Corridor, bringing you directly into the city centre and beyond, and a recent new bus route directly to the facilities and fun of Dundrum Shopping Centre, with bus stops around the corner on Stillorgan Park Road a major benefit for independent teenagers!
