Description

Enjoying wonderfully mature, well-screened gardens of 0.2acre (approx.), Silverdale is a truly fantastic double-fronted 5-bedroom detached family home of immense charm, atmosphere and generous proportions (227sq.m. approx.), offering a great balance of living and bedroom space. Superbly located with Rathmines, Rathgar and Dartry on its doorstep, this striking home enjoys a highly convenient and sought-after location in prime Dublin 6, being situated adjacent to Brookfield Tennis Club and opposite picturesque Palmerston Park. Distinct from its immediate neighbouring properties to the left and its Victorian counterparts to the right overlooking Palmerston Park, 'Silverdale' was built in 1939 for a Ms Hannah Samuels of Golden Bridge House, Inchicore. This handsome home showcases many elements of the Art Deco-style: from the façade, which features a series of 'set backs' (the living room protrudes the hallway, which protrudes the family/tv room, in turn protruding the garage), creating a stepped outline, to its distinctive large (bay) windows with horizontal glazing to its 'modern' Art Deco fireplaces, which feature in the interconnecting reception rooms. It does not however feature the typical flat roof synonymous with the Art Deco-style, instead featuring a pitched roof in keeping with the neighbouring properties. Well set back from the road and nicely positioned on its mature site, Silverdale enjoys a large front garden 45' x 50' approx. with excellent, secure off-street parking, in addition to a very sizeable rear garden of 85' x 60' approx., offering fantastic potential to enlarge the existing footprint (subject to relevant planning permission) should one's needs require. Internally the light-filled accommodation exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Downstairs, rooms of generous proportions are enhanced by 10' high ceilings. The central reception hallway gives access to the two interconnecting reception rooms, kitchen with utility room/pantry off, family/tv room with wet room off, guest w.c. and large conservatory. Upstairs a good landing area is flooded with natural light from a tall window on the half landing; five bedrooms, bathroom and separate w.c. are accessed from here. Coming to the market now in need of some modernisation, this very fine detached home offers a wonderful and rare opportunity to create a home of distinction in what truly is a superb location. Local shopping is well catered for at nearby Upper Rathmines Road, Dunville Avenue, Rathgar village and Rathmines. Historic Palmerston Park with its leisure walks, playground and floral displays is quite literally on your doorstep as is Brookfield Tennis Club and Dartry Health Club. Whilst excellent local junior and senior schools are numerous within the immediate area. Two LUAS stops at nearby Cowper Road and Richmond Avenue South are both within a few minutes' walk. Discerning buyers looking to put their own stamp on a 'forever home' need look no further; Silverdale, Palmerston Park awaits you.

Several storage sheds and outhouses sit adjacent to the Brookfield Tennis Club side. Not only is this garden a place for recreation, relaxation and al fresco dining, it also offers great potential to enlarge the existing house, subject to relevant planning permission.
