Description
Harlech House is a very special Georgian home of substantial proportions. Set within a modern housing estate of only 26 homes with well maintained green areas for residents to play, this impressive home offers all the benefits of modern urban living in a safe and friendly cul de sac, yet enjoys its own grounds of c. 0.88 acres behind inpressive and unique stainless steel gates.
Having undergone an extensive bespoke restoration and redesign program in the late 1990's, Harlech House is now one of a kind.
Offering accommodation over 3 levels of almost 900sqm, this impressive home is very well located. Again set at the end of a small enclave of homes, and beside a large green area, it is the perfect place for children to play. The grounds and campus of UCD are closeby as are some of Dublin's best schools. Shops, eateries and everyday conveneinces are also nearby in the villages of Ranelagh, Clonskeagh, Goatstown and Mount Merrion with Stillorgan, Blackrock and Dundrum only a little further.
Harlech House is really a modern work of art fused with the graciousness of days gone by. Modern materials such as ceramics, glass and steel all come together to provide this uinque canvas of a fine family home of distinction. Accommodation
