A superb opportunity to secure a distinguished detached family home, one that will appeal to a wide range of buyers looking to secure their forever family home, or for those trading down whilst still requiring a sizeable home. Having only changed hands once since its construction in the 1970s, this property has been well maintained by the current owners. Wonderfully positioned in secluded and private, walled gardens, on a site of approximately 0.2 acres. This home offers a rare combination of superb proportions with an expansive footprint and the outstanding potential to redesign and create a truly exceptional residence, should the new owners wish to do so. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is only minutes’ walk from a wide range of amenities, making it perfect for modern family living.

This fine, elegant, detached home extends to approximately 228 sqm (2454 sqft) on a site with a total area of 0.2 acres with the accommodation laid out over two well-balanced floors. Approached to the front by a gated driveway with garage access, this home is fully enclosed offering a strong sense of security. On entering, the immediate impression is one of space. The central reception hall provides a welcoming entrance and leads to two well-proportioned and sizeable reception rooms with open fireplaces, offering exceptional flexibility for family living, entertaining, and home working. These are complemented by a guest shower room and a well-appointed kitchen / breakfast room overlooking the manicured rear gardens, with direct access to a utility and boiler room. Behind the garage and accessed from either the utility room off the kitchen area, or directly through the side door in the front garden, an enclosed side passage leads to the high-ceilinged garage with potential for reconfiguration, should the new owners wish to do so. Behind this superb space is a home office and further reception room, currently in use as a playroom. The scope and versatility of this current layout allow the new owners to reconfigure this space to suit their own requirements. Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with a sizeable landing, large hot press, spacious family bathroom and four generous bedrooms, with superb views. Each bedroom offers excellent storage space and are plumbed for sink units. The gardens are undoubtedly one of the home’s most compelling features. The private grounds are walled and beautifully planted with mature trees, shrubs, and flowering borders, creating a peaceful and secluded retreat. A deck area accessed from the rear of the double reception room provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. To the front of the house, in the walled courtyard, there is a private sitting area surrounded by roses and shrubs, which captures the sun from early morning.

Lovingly cared for by the current owners, the home is presented in good condition throughout. While immediately comfortable, it offers an exciting opportunity for the discerning buyer to reimagine and redesign the property into a luxurious, forever family home in one of Rathgar’s most desirable locations.
