Description
A beautifully upgraded, B-rated family home, discreetly set on an elevated, private site at the corner of Foster Avenue and North Avenue.
Extended in c.1960, the house was completely transformed in 2014 with a top-to-bottom renovation. This included full rewiring and replumbing, new windows and doors, insulation throughout and a c.30m² extension to the rear. The result is c.200m² of bright, well-proportioned accommodation that combines original charm with modern comfort.
On the ground floor, a welcoming reception hall with Burmese teak parquet flooring leads to a living room, currently used as a playroom, and a guest WC. The heart of the home is the extensive kitchen, dining and family area. Double doors lead from it to a beautiful, light-filled drawing room.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms. The light-filled master bedroom has an en suite, and bedrooms two, three and four are all generous, bright rooms. There is also a home office or box room with built-in cupboards and a desk, a generous family bathroom and a hot press.
The house is well set back from the road, and its leafy outlook to the front is a rare feature so close to the city centre. The front and rear gardens are well screened and sheltered, with mature trees and shrubs. There is ample off-street parking to the side. To the rear, there is a patio and a separate barbecue and outdoor dining area, ideal for summer entertaining.
The house is within walking distance of UCD, the shops in Mount Merrion and the N11 bus corridor, and close to Dundrum Town Centre and some of Dublin’s most sought-after primary and secondary schools. This is a ready-to-move-into family home in a prime residential location. Accommodation
