Description
Set amidst a terrace of incredibly handsome, two storey over garden level homes, on the fringes of Dun Laoghaire, No.4 Carlisle Terrace has undergone an extensive program of renovation and modernisation, resulting in an exceptionally elegant home bursting with all the graciousness and charm of bygone days, seamlessly married with modern day comforts.
The curb appeal of this home sets the tone of what to expect throughout. The neat, railed garden is intricately manicured with styled box hedging bordering the path leading up to the granite steps. The discerning purchaser may repurpose the front garden into a parking area, (subject to planning permission) as all other houses on the terrace have done.
Beyond the hall door, you are immediately struck by the luxurious and decadent finishes, which continue to flow throughout. Dark stained original wood floors, rich wall coverings and pooling window dressings create a sense of grandeur while retaining everyday comfort. The reception room to the front has a large light bearing bay window and a beautiful feature fireplace. The dining room to the rear has a lovely atmosphere for entertaining and looks out on to the south facing garden. On the return, on rout to the garden level, there is a kitchenette, which could also be used as a study. On the ground floor, there is a well-equipped kitchen which leads through to a guest w.c. and utility room. Double doors lead through to a further less formal, cosy living roo. There is also a lobby with further access to the front garden. As you alight the stairs, on an upper return there is a modern and tastefully presented bathroom and on the first floor there are three bedrooms, each presented more beautifully than the last. At the top of the property there are steps up to a half landing, in use as a storage area.
To the rear of the house, there is a mature, leafy garden. There is a graveled dining area bordered by well stocked beds and pathway leads to the pedestrian rear access and a garden storage shed.
The location of this property is superb with great ease of access to a vast array of amenities both social and essential including shopping facilities in Glasthule, Dun Laoghaire and Monkstown, excellent transport links including popular bus routes, the DART and the Aircoach and easy access to highly regarded schools such as Castle Park, CBC Monkstown, Blackrock College, Loreto Dalkey and St Joseph of Cluny. Leisure facilities are also in abundance in the locality with many local sporting clubs and the nearby coastline for enjoying leisurely strolls, while the four yacht clubs in Dun Laoghaire will be of great interest to budding and experienced sailors.
