Description
Seldom does a house of the calibre of Hillside Villa become available to the market and Sherry Fitzgerald is therefore truly delighted to introduce this exceptional property. Extending to circa 215 sq.m. / 2,314 sq.ft, this stunning, detached 4 bedroom family home is immaculately presented. With a wonderfully elevated setting, the house has been cleverly designed over two levels to take full advantage of the spectacular panoramic sea and mountain views, arguably the best in Bray along with maximizing the abundant natural daylight.
The layout of the first floor was reconfigured to incorporate an impressive principal bedroom with walk-in dressing room and en-suite bathroom while the large, south facing rear extension provides for a beautifully bright, open plan kitchen / dining room spanning the entire width of the house. The property exhibits exquisite quality finishes throughout, with an attention to detail matched externally by the superbly landscaped gardens. Located in a quiet cul de sac, Hillside Villa is very private, yet is within easy walking distance to all the amenities and facilities that Bray has to offer.
An attractive set of steps with cast iron railing leads to the front entrance door. Briefly the accommodation within comprises of a welcoming and bright hallway with views stretching towards the open plan kitchen / dining room and right through to the rear garden beyond. To the left is the main bedroom with a walk-in dressing room and ensuite bathroom. The ensuite bathroom is also accessible from the hallway. To the right is the living room which adjoins the sitting room and a set of doors lead from here into the open plan kitchen / dining room. Filled with natural light, the kitchen / dining room, with its high vaulted ceiling, is most impressive and opens gracefully onto the rear patio and garden via a set of glazed doors. Stairs lead down from the kitchen area to the ground floor level where one finds a generous study / den, three additional bedrooms, a bathroom and utility room.
Outside, the rear garden is designed and beautifully landscaped on three distinct levels, with Indian sandstone patio areas, perfect for al fresco dining and entertainment, bordered by white-washed and granite stone walls with raised beds hosting a delightful variety of trees, mature shrubs, herbaceous and flowering plants. The top tier is mostly laid in lawn and offers simply spectacular 360 degree views of the surrounding sea and mountains. This garden oasis simply needs to be seen to be believed. On the top level a wonderful eucalyptus tree takes centre stage and the garden is complemented by a pretty garden shed. To the front, the driveway provides ample off street parking for at least 3 cars and the garden hosts neat border beds filled with mature planting.
In summary, Hillside Villa is an exceptional property, set in a stunning position, and so conveniently located close to all the amenities and facilities that Bray has on offer. It is therefore sure to appeal to many buyers and we highly recommend early viewing of this beautiful family home. Accommodation
