Description
Quillsen is pleased to present to the market this architecturally designed, energy efficient detached home that is nestled within strolling distance of the seafront, the DART and all that Sandycove, Glasthule and Dun Laoghaire have to offer.
Designed by renowned architect, Martin Noone, Solas` is true to its name and flooded with natural light throughout. Built in 2009, it also incorporates a host of contemporary designed-in features that work together effortlessly, to provide a seamless connection to its natural surroundings.
Beginning with what is a dramatic and cleverly designed footprint, that maximised the potential of the site on offer, whilst not compromising on outside space or utility, the designed-in features become evident from once you arrive. Other such features include extensive strategically sized glazing throughout, including a large porthole window in the porch to capture the rising sun, a prominent contemporary staircase, and whitewashed barrel type ceilings, to name but a few.
Extending to approximately 226 Sqm / 2,430 Sqft. and benefiting from the energy efficiency of solar panels and underfloor heating, the comprehensive schedule of well-proportioned accommodation comprises, on the ground floor, an entrance porch cum entrance hall off which there is the kitchen / dining room area, a family room, a sun room, utility room, the third and fourth bedrooms, a shower room, and a cloak room. Upstairs lies a beautiful living room, the main bedroom suite (bedroom, walk-in wardrobe & ensuite shower room), the second bedroom, shower room and a further room that is ideal as a study / home office.
To compete the picture of what is a truly unique and special offering, there is a secluded, sun-drenched garden to the rear. Bordered by imposing mature trees, a striking stone cut wall, and an array of attractive shrubbery and planting, the rear provides a haven of peace and tranquillity akin to a country house setting. To the front and together with excellent side access, there is off-street parking for two cars and ample visitor parking.
The convenience of the location speaks for itself. Glengara Park is a quiet, established and much sought after development situated off Eden Road Upper and within a leisurely stroll of Dun Laoghaire, the bustling village of Glasthule and the fortyfoot. It is within a 5 minute drive to Dalkey and every conceivable amenity is on the doorstep including; boutique shops, weekly farmers markets, cafes, bars, restaurants, a cinema, the theatre, and shopping centres, to name but a few.
The choice of excellent primary and secondary schools include The Harold National School, Castlepark, Rathdown, Loreto Abbey Dalkey, and CBC Monkstown to name but a few.
Transport links including the DART at nearby Sandycove/Glasthule, excellent bus routes and the M50.
Coastal walks to the landmark piers, Sandycove and Bullock Harbour, together with a choice of marine leisure facilities are also close at hand.
