Ruskin is a beautifully proportioned B2 Rated detached spacious home standing on very private and generous south west facing gardens. Approached via a long gravelled drive with excellent off street parking, mature planting and electric gates, this home epitomises seclusion, privacy and exclusivity and is yet only minutes from every amenity. Totalling approx. 185 sq.m the property has been meticulously maintained and upgraded by the current owners who have been the custodians for the past 30 happy years.
Ruskin offers a wonderful blend of bright reception accommodation and four generous bedrooms. A modern front porch opens in to the entrance hall, with guest wc and understairs storage. Solid Canadian cherry wood floors run throughout the ground floor. To the left is a lovely bright main reception with large south facing window overlooking the private gardens. This in turn opens out on to the open plan dining room which is positioned in the heart of the home. Off this room we have the well fitted modern kitchen / breakfast room with large sliding doors to the raised deck and large side garden which enjoys wonderful afternoon and evening sun. There is a utility/store room off the kitchen. To the right of the dining room we have a small lobby leading onto a bright south facing family room, a full bathroom and a large dual aspect guest bedroom.
Upstairs, which is lovely and bright, we have a very large principle bedroom with full sized shower room ensuite and a further two bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The gardens and privacy are a standout feature of Ruskin. A private entrance with electric gates leads to a gravel drive with ample parking for four or five cars. The boundaries are very mature, with wonderful trees and flowering shrubs and bushes. Beyond the parking area with its feature cut stone and brick walls, we enter the completely private garden area which faces southwest, featuring mature planting, specimen trees, flowering shrubs and plants and a large lawn area. As we approach the property the gravel path brings you to a granite patio which leads to the front door. The property has a walkway around the entire house and a raised deck positioned off the kitchen with steps down to the side garden. The substantial south west facing side garden, which is easily maintained and measures approx. 8m x 14m, features original stone walls and mature specimen trees including a large magnolia. The garden has raised sleeper beds, a variety of bamboo and a Liscannor stone patio which gets sun throughout the afternoon and evening.
Location simply couldn't be better situated off Leopardstown Road with easy access to the N11, Foxrock village, Blackrock, Carrickmines and Stillorgan which offer a myriad of amenities including a wide range of specialty shops, restaurants and four shopping centres. Fantastic transport links include the Luas, N11 with QBC and the M50 close by. There is an excellent selection of primary and secondary schools close by including Blackrock College, St Andrews College, St Brigid's Boys and Girls National School, Holly Park Boys and Girls National School and Loreto Foxrock to name but a few within the immediate area.
Viewing is recommended to appreciate all this fine home has to offer.
