Description
“Carrick” is arguably one of the most impressive, exciting and unique properties to come to the market in south Dublin for some considerable time. Nestled away on Dodder Park Road, this simply stunning 515 sq.m. (approx.) B1 rated, three storey, detached contemporary style property, complete with a separate garage (48 sq. m. approx.), has been painstakingly and lovingly maintained by the current owners to an exacting standard, with no expense spared. This superb location is within walking distance to the villages of both Terenure and Rathfarnham, and a host of local amenities. This outstanding home is also deceptively private, with pedestrian and electric vehicular gates providing access to the property, which is well setback from the road.
Behind the stylish and eye-catching stone and copper façade lies a home of distinction, awash with elegant and light filled accommodation. On entering the welcoming entrance-hall the striking proportions and clever high-quality design set the tone for what is to follow. On this floor there are 2 double bedrooms (both ensuite and one complete with a walk-in dressing room), a guest WC and a large cinema / bar and games-room, ideal for entertaining. The comms room can also be accessed from this part of the property. A lift and a feature staircase complete the description of this floor, providing access to all 3 levels of the property.
The generous, functional and well-proportioned accommodation continues on the first floor where you will find: three double-bedrooms that are all ensuite. The master suite benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, a large bathroom and direct access to the garden. There is a well-appointed, luxurious family bathroom, as well as a good-sized home-office (that could be used as another bedroom should your needs require). A feature light-well allows the theme of light and space to continue at this level of the property.
The top-floor of Carrick is breathtaking, with cutting-edge architecture and design really coming to the fore. There is an open-plan kitchen / dining / lounge area, with the lounge area at mezzanine level and the kitchen of Poggenpohl design. There are stunning views to the front, further enhanced by the glazing, high-ceilings and natural light. These views can also be enjoyed externally via the wraparound balcony that can be accessed from the kitchen / dining area, as well as from the separate, spacious, light-filled drawing room, which offers a tranquil space to unwind. A large and functional utility room can also be found on this level.
The appeal of this truly unique property is further enhanced by the stunningly private, landscaped gardens that can be accessed from every level of the property. Located on the top floor is a private south-facing terrace that is laid in artificial grass and has an electric awning. Steps lead down to the south-westerly oriented main garden which is laid in lawn and has a garden shed. Another set of stairs provide access to the ground floor and to the separate garage. The gardens are all landscaped and well-manicured, being bordered by mature trees, hedging, shrubbery and beds. The high stone cut walls provide extreme privacy and these outside spaces can be enjoyed to the full. The property itself is accessed through electronic security gates, and has a sweeping paved driveway providing an abundance of secure parking, not to mention the large 2/3 car garage.
Dodder Park Road is surrounded by a wealth of local amenities with Terenure, Rathfarnham and Churchtown Village all within close proximity, with their cafes, restaurants and specialist shops. The area is also serviced by excellent primary and secondary schools, as well as sports clubs (to include Golf, Tennis and Rugby) and gyms. Dodder, Rathfarnham Castle, Marlay and Bushy Parks are all on your doorstep as is the spectacular River Dodder Greenway walking and cycling path which will eventually extend as far as Grand Canal Dock. Nutgrove Shopping Centre, Rathfarnham Shopping centre and Dundrum Town Centre also within easy reach. The area is well serviced by buses to locations such as UCD, the City Centre and Dublin Airport and there is ease of access to the M50 road network.
“Carrick” is undoubtedly a genuinely special and immensely stylish home which successfully combines modern living and contemporary with classical style and all the comforts and conveniences one could ever wish for. Accommodation
