Description
Seldom do homes as exceptional as 1 Summerhill Road come to the market, this beautifully restored and stylishly presented 1850's villa style residence is conveniently located adjacent to the People's Park and is the very epitome of lifestyle living. A sympathetic and full restoration project was undertaken in 2013 by the current owners and subsequently redecorated in 2019 to transform this appealing period end of terrace home to one of comfort and style where an exemplary standard of finish is clearly evident throughout this stunning home. Combining the perfect balance between bedroom and living accommodation, extending to approximately 160 sq.m/1,722 sq.ft where the neutral colour palette of soft greys and whites form the perfect backdrop for the artwork and bold colour choices in the kitchen and bathroom to shine through. No.1 has been designed to incorporate the view over the People's Park to the rear and beyond to Dublin Bay with the main kitchen/dining room and generous reception room at hall level and the bedrooms at garden level, ensuring the best use of space, light and views. This is a home of exceptional quality with the owners having put the very best into restoring their home from the hidden items such as heating, plumbing, dry-lining, wiring and insulation resulting in an admirable C1 BER rating to the bespoke kitchen supplied by The Victorian Kitchen Company, cast iron Arroll radiators, quality Heritage bathroom fittings, restored decorative ceiling cornices, fireplaces, limewashed original floorboards, oak herringbone flooring, new double-glazed sliding sash windows and working window shutters. It would be hard to imagine a better located home where the People's Park virtually acts as your garden, and one is but moments from the seafront where you can enjoy a bracing walk or invigorating swim in the sea at the new Dun Laoghaire baths or 40 foot at Sandycove. You are well catered for with an abundance of shopping facilities on hand including a wide range of boutique shops, cafes, wine bars, restaurants in Dun Laoghaire or Glasthule Village, and the ever-popular market is a buzz of activity every Sunday. Gardens To the front is a large, gravelled parking area which comfortably holds up to 4 cars and is bounded by original granite walls and can be accessed by a pedestrian gate and electric gates. A raised wooden fence runs along the front wall ensuring a high degree of privacy. The borders are planted with a selection of mature shrubs and flowering plants. The rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, the generous outdoor area is laid out in artificial grass and can be accessed from the garden level or hall level of the home. There is an attractive granite wall bordering the private space where the mature trees and bird song from the Peoples Park blur the boundaries ensuring this to be a most tranquil and inviting space.
