KELLY BRADSHAW DALTON are truly honoured to introduce you to 36 Millmount Avenue, Drumcondra, Dublin 9.
Simply stunning is the word that springs to mind when inviting you to explore this beautiful Edwardian home. This gem will impress all who visit and with plenty to see, a viewing is a must to appreciate what lies behind the front door!
On arrival to the quiet, mature street, one will note the wonderful redbrick façade and how close it is to the renowned Griffith Park, perfect for families with little ones. Crossing the threshold, we step into a renovated home where an abundance of love has been poured into the interior with an exquisite taste in décor and finishes have resulted in a home where old world charm meets modern day comfort, completed to stand the test of time and shrouded in opulence at every turn. For those with an eye for period detailing, high ceilings and wonderful original features adorn each room and deliver the wow factor time and time again.
From the moment you step inside, it’s a feast for the eyes. This property can only be described as an impeccably presented show home. The hallway boasts original hardwood flooring that sweeps from the hallway into the formal living room seamlessly. There is envious wood panelling framing the space and high ceilings with cornicing, a very warm welcome indeed! From the hallway to our right is the formal living room.
The living room is a delightfully sumptuous space decorated in fresh modern tones, which creates a very relaxed ambiance. The feeling in this room is tranquil, one could get lost in the flicker of the original iron mongered open fire while enjoying a glass of wine and taking in your new surroundings. There is a beautiful high ceiling again with original architrave and hardwood flooring. Custom built units have been built into the alcoves finishing the space.
Architecturally designed by Alison Rea in the summer of 2020, the old met the new and married perfectly. The current owners extended the property to the rear and results were nothing short of stunning. Where the old kitchen used to be is now a delightful family room / playroom, complete with built-in storage and ample space for the family to gather and watch T.V. The new extension now houses the kitchen and it is simply beautiful. Crafted by Bespace, the custom built kitchen is flooded with natural light and was designed with entertaining in mind. Wall to wall units give ample storage space and plenty of counter space for food preparations. A large kitchen island is a welcome divide in the vast space and creates further options for casual dining. The deep double sink is also built into the island. Skylights, large window and double sliding doors invite further light into the room and the light, airy finish is sure to impress.
The kitchen opens out onto the south facing garden, which is landscaped allowing for a green area for the children, and a patio area for outdoor dining or enjoying the sunshine in the warmer months. There is rear lane access for residents, essentially giving you the benefits of a semi-detached home.
Completing the downstairs accommodation is the trendy guest bathroom, tiled it features shelving, hand basin and W.C.
Not to be outdone, as we wind our way upstairs, where the stunning original bannisters guide there are two excellent double bedrooms each housing their own wonderful feature. The first double room retains the original fireplace, a real bonus in any period home and has two windows filling the room with light. This room, should you wish, could be divided into two bedrooms by a simple partition. The primary suite is a wonderful space, with bespoke wall to wall wardrobes, alcove shelving with a peep of the original red brick, and an en-suite bathroom. The bathroom is tiled and finished in matt black fixtures and fittings, with shower, hand basin and W.C.
Completing this level is the family bathroom. A true sanctuary to unwind after a long day, the family boasts a bath with an overhead shower, perfect for families with little ones, built in shelving, hand basin, heated towel rack and W.C. It is worth noting that all of the bathroom fittings are from Sonas and the tiling professionally finished by Tile Merchant.
Just when you thought there was no more to be enjoyed, the current owners have converted the attic creating a further room to fit around your family’s needs. The views from the attic room are a real surprise and unobstructed.
