The back garden here is the perfect southwest facing orientation to make the most of the natural sunshine. It is very private and not overlooked - currently laid out in four sections:- a lovely sunny sandstone patio; a back lawn surrounded by abundant flowers; a vegetable garden with a greenhouse and a garden shed; and a wild section at the end of the garden where the current owner maintains a beehive which he will be taking with him. The front garden has cobble-locked parking for 2 cars surrounded by floral planting. There are taps and power points in both gardens. The back patio area also has an outdoor heater.
As you enter the modern front door you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall with a garage conversion room to your left having the dual function of a dining room and grandchildren`s playroom. To your right is the formal living room with fireplace, from where double doors open to the open plan back lounge and kitchen stretching the full width of the house. These rooms are flooded with natural light from the patio doors and French doors from the kitchen connecting them to the delightful SW facing back garden. The back lounge has a feature red-brick fireplace and wood-burningl stove creating a warm focal point even on the most wintry of nights. Under the stairs there is a guest WC. Upstairs there are two spacious double bedrooms, a larger than usual box room - which doubles as a home office - and an upgraded family bathroom. The front bedrooms have outstanding views across Dublin Bay to Howth Head.
This property was very solidly built in 1959 and has been well maintained over the years, by the current owners. Recent upgrades include new energy efficient coated low e glass in the double glazing, a new triple-locking front door, an upgraded bathroom, new heating system and extra attic insulation. It was rewired about 20 years ago.
This home has enormous potential, including options to to extend over the garage conversion (S.P.P.) and/or into the back garden. The attic space appears to be suitable for conversion to living space from where dormer windows to the front would have panoramic views across Dublin Bay (S.P.P.). Works like these have already been done by a number of the neighbouring properties.
This property backs onto Clonmore Park which is easily accessed via a pedestrian entrance from the top of Merville Road. It has a lovely playground and plenty of space to walk a dog or kick a ball. The wooded area at the rear of the property is securely separated from the park by a high palisade fence. The footpath/cycleway through the park leads past St. Raphaela`s School to the Sandyford LUAS stop, which is just 10 minutes walk away. The Stillorgan Road QBC is just 10 minutes walk down Merville Road, giving easy access to a wide range of city centre locations. Within 15 minutes walk you have facilities such as Stillorgan Shopping Centre, Glenalbyn Sports Centre, Kilmacud Crokes GAA, Greenfields Montessori, St. Brigid`s National School and The Leopardstown Inn. Sports clubs in the area include Kilmacud Crokes GAA, Leopardstown Tennis Club and Glenalbyn Tennis Club,
