Description
Originally constructed circa 1910 with its attractive full red brick exterior, No.48 last appeared on the open market in 1937 and will no doubt prove just as appealing today.
Tucked away on this quiet avenue close to the junction with Mount Merrion Avenue, No.48 could not be more conveniently located for all that a modern family would require. The village of Blackrock is just 400m away and offers two large Shopping Centers which are anchored by several leading retailers to include Marks & Spencer, Supervalu, and Aldi. The village also offers an excellent choice of specialty shops, boutiques, eateries, and entertainment venues.
The Dart Rail Station is just 700m from the front door and allows ease of transit to the City Centre and beyond to Malahide and Howth or in a southerly direction to Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey, Bray and Greystones.
There is a wide choice of childcare, junior schools, and senior schools in the locality with many within 10 minutes’ walk. These include Coco’s Childcare, Little Apples Academy Childcare and Montessori, Carysfort National School, Dominican College Sion Hill, Willow Park School, and Blackrock College.
Sporting and outdoor enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with a large number of sports clubs in the locality including those offering Tennis, Soccer, Rugby, and GAA. Blackrock Park is less than 300m away and in turn leads to breathtaking walks along the seafront to Seapoint which is now a popular spot for sea swimming. Accommodation
Having been cared for by the one family for almost 90 years the property still retains and displays many of the period detailing synonymous with its Edwardian style and period of construction. These include decorative plasterworks and handsome original fireplace surrounds together with solid timber and tiled floors. With high ceilings throughout, the accommodation within is generously proportioned and offers an incredible degree of flexibility in terms of usage of the rooms.
Passing through the reception hall, to the rear of which is a shower room, leads to the drawing room to the front of this charming home. Double doors open to reveal the dining room to the rear and these rooms combined provide excellent entertainment space.
At the rear of the house is the breakfast room with its original black and red quarry tiled floor. Beyond is the kitchen which has fitted floor and eye level units and generous worktop space. Access to the west facing rear garden is from the kitchen.
On the first-floor return there is a single bedroom and the family bathroom. The first floor offers two double bedrooms and a single room to the front. The second floor reveals bedrooms five and six, the larger of which to the front has a dormer window with views towards Blackrock Village and the coastline including Howth beyond.
Both the railed front garden and west facing rear garden (45ft x 22ft approx.) have been carefully maintained over the years and offer an array of plants and flowering shrubs which ensures year-round bloom and colour, truly an oasis of tranquility.
Such a generous offering of accommodation oozing period character and charm is a rare find in a prime convenient and family orientated location, so early viewing is strongly advised. Rooms
