Positioned on a large corner site, 252 Griffith Avenue is a beautiful semi-detached family home dating from the late 1920's. The current owners have been careful to retain as many of the original features as possible including original fireplaces, polished wooden floors, doors with original brass hardware and picture rails. The property has been very well maintained, extended and improved over the years and is a comfortable family home in a prime location along this much sought after tree-lined avenue. The avenue is reputed to be the longest double tree-lined boulevard in Europe.
The accommodation comprises a porch which leads to the entrance hallway with polished wooden floor and understairs storage. There is also a useful newly fitted shower room. The living room to the front has a large bay window flooding the room with light, polished wooden floor and a beautiful original Arts & Crafts mantelpiece. Double doors lead to the dining room also with original matching fireplace and polished wooden floor. The kitchen has been extended and is fitted with a great range of modern floor and wall units with plenty of space for a large dining table. French doors lead to the rear garden. The garage can be accessed from the kitchen and is currently used for storage/utility.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. A family shower room completes the accommodation.
The gardens are a real feature of the property with a very large lawned area to the front and side bordered by hedging which ensures great privacy. There is off street parking for a number of cars with a driveway leading to the garage. To the rear of the house the garden benefits from a sunny south-west orientation and is laid in low maintenance paving.
The location is simply superb. It is leafy suburbia yet only 3 miles from the city centre. The area is complemented by pleasure gardens such as the National Botanic Gardens and Griffith Park, yet within walking distance of the city centre and convenient to the numerous shops, cafes, bars and restaurants Drumcondra Village has to offer. The area has an abundance of excellent schools and sports clubs. DCU, Marino Institute and St Patrick's Teachers Training College are close by. The Four Courts, King's Inns, Bon Secours, Beaumont and Mater Hospitals are all within walking distance. The M50 Motorway, The M1 and Dublin Airport are within a few minutes' drive. The area is very well serviced by public transport; in close proximity to many bus routes; Drumcondra Rail station (10 minutes' walk) and the Aircoach.
