Description
A postcard pretty Arts and Crafts style cottage (built C.1915) which has been very tastefully and stylishly refurbished and extended with great flair by the present owner to create a home of great appeal. Enjoying all the original period details along with every modern comfort in this truly special, peaceful, and secluded backwater off Booterstown Avenue.
No 23 also boasts a beautiful south easterly facing front garden, providing a perfect place for children to play or adults to relax.
From the entrance to Beech Grove under its wrought iron archway, the scene has been set for this stunning period home. From the wrought iron gate, the limestone path leading to the front door, you will be enchanted by this pretty as a picture semi-detached cottage. On entering through the hall door, you are directly into the main living room with all its character and charm. You can see directly through to the rear garden from here through a large picture window. A light filled corridor connects the living room to the fabulous kitchen at the rear with its double height vaulted ceiling.
This home boasts lovely large wooden sash windows to the front, and anodised aluminium windows to the rear, which allow a lot of natural light to enter each room. The kitchen has a very good range of wall and eye level cupboards, with complimentary pale grey quartz worktops. This really is a stunning, light filled space with access to the rear garden, the ideal space for entertaining family and friends. There are two bedrooms, both with exposed brick on one wall. The contemporary shower room completes the accommodation.
This home is decorated and styled to a very high standard and each room compliments the next with the colours and although this home was built C.1915, there is a truly modern feel throughout.
The Mediterranean style rear garden terrace is a true delight. This sun trap, complete with built in seating, is the ideal place to enjoy the sunshine, entertain or just to take a break, making it a great space for family dining and entertaining or just spending quality time.
Situated in the heart of Booterstown, there are a wealth of amenities close by including local shops on Booterstown Avenue, Mount Merrion Avenue and Blackrock Village with a selection of boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants.
