Description
Sakura is a really special family home in a terrific location enjoying landscaped gardens with a perfect south westerly orientation of approx. 0.3 acres all within a few minutes stroll of Windy Arbour Luas. Designed by Anthony Whittaker Architect this is a home perfect for today's world extending to 390 sq m/4,198 sq ft approx. The brief to the Architect was to provide secure generous and flexible accommodation that can be adapted to suit changing family needs. This was achieved superbly. We promise a truly inspirational interior awaits.
The turreted home has a real wow factor with many wonderful architectural features. Sakura's landmark turreted towers are a unique feature as is the floating double helix staircase beautifully positioned under the front turret and the galleried landing over the living room. The home enjoys exceptional reception and recreational rooms, laid out mainly over 2 levels with a fantastic basement adding immense potential for a variety of use.
The basement is simply put a major bonus… a large open plan light filled room, approx. 958 sq ft/89 sq m plus a practical shower room with toilet, floor to ceiling double doors to the patio. It would make an ideal games room/entertainment room, it could be further divided up to have its own gym, cinema, business use (subject to planning), amongst many other alternatives. The adjoining garden is landscaped by George Downer to great effect directing an abundance of light directly into the basement.
Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is generous with four double bedrooms, dressing room, two ensuites, family bathroom and ample attic storage. A gothic arched entrance off the main bedroom leads to an enchanting room with a double height vaulted ceiling. Located in the rear turret, it is currently a meditation and yoga space.
The location is superb 5 km. approx. to St. Stephen's Green and many of Dublin's principal places of business. Windy Arbour Luas is just a gentle stroll away. It is within easy reach of a number of local junior, senior schools and universities, It is also within easy reach of a wide range of amenities in nearby villages of Dundrum, Churchtown, Rathgar, Ranelagh and Rathmines. Dundrum Town Centre is one Luas stop away, with a great selection of boutiques, bars, restaurants, speciality shops and food stores. Golf clubs nearby include Milltown, Grange and Castle Golf Clubs. Leisure amenities include Palmerston Park, Bushy Park, Dodder Linear Park, Brookfield Tennis Club and Dartry Health Club.

Garden -
The essence of Sakura is as much about its outdoor space as the house itself. The garden was designed by George Downer Landscapes Ltd, a graduate of the National Botanic Gardens and enhances many different garden aspects. The entrance to Sakura is via a pair of setback large white pillars with dramatic wrought iron gates. There's a pedestrian gated entrance to the side. The front forecourt is laid with a soft coloured gravel which compliments the main house and is framed by hedges, shrubs and mature trees with ample off-street parking. A second vehicle gate leads to the side courtyard. This courtyard is accessed via tall double doors from both the living room and kitchen and can be used for additional car parking. The west facing rear garden is 38 m / 125 ft in length and is both colourful and simple in landscaping. It's mainly laid in lawn and bordered by flower beds and shrubbery. A bespoke swirling wrought iron walkway from the kitchen, provides instant access to the garden and sun-drenched patio. Wrought iron steps lead to the second patio and sliding doors give access to the basement.
