This is a rare opportunity to acquire a handsome semi-detached Edwardian property. Nicely set back off this tree lined road, this attractive 3 storey property will be of immense appeal to those looking for a house of distinction on Herbert Park, one of Ballsbridge's premier residential roads. The property oozes character and charm with beautifully appointed accommodation and the perfect combination of a classical period house which is ideal for family living and grand entertaining. Internally, No. 17 Herbert Park is a home of considerable room proportions and beautiful period detailing including intricate ceiling coving, high ceilings, bay windows, feature fireplaces and stained-glass windows. The attractive red brick exterior is further enhanced by the original timber porch which frames the front door. The bright and spacious entrance hall has ample room to place seating around its fireplace. The two main reception rooms are interconnecting with double folding doors. The high ceiling, sash windows (including the bay) create a sense of space with light pouring in from morning to night. The rear of the house is very much laid out for everyday family living. The well-designed kitchen has ample kitchen and dining space and benefits from plentiful light through its large window, sky lights and the glass door that leads to the living room. The living room has two double sliding doors leading directly to the garden. The sense of space and brightness is continued on the 1st and 2nd floors, with generous landings and numerous sash windows. In all there are 6 double bedrooms. The master suite is to the front of the house and boasts a bay window, dressing room and luxurious ensuite shower room. All the bedrooms benefit from high ceilings, sash windows and the majority feature original fireplaces. The gardens have been developed to provide the upmost of privacy. The front is guarded by high beech hedging and wrought iron gates and the forecourt offers space for two cars. While to the rear, the garden is flanked by stone walls, all framed by mature specimen trees. The sunny rear garden has a raised patio directly off the living room. Steps lead to the lawn and a further natural stone paved area, all of which are flanked by flower beds, shrubberies and a pear and plum tree. The garden benefits from water features and outdoor lights. Concealed by bamboo hedging is the garden shed. The inner courtyard is situated between the dining room and kitchen.
