Property Description

Occupying a prominent yet wonderfully private corner position at the junction of Drummartin Park and Kilmacud Road Upper, this imposing double-fronted detached residence enjoys a truly enviable setting in one of south Dublin’s most sought-after residential locations. Situated between the highly regarded centres of Dundrum and Stillorgan, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home on generous, mature grounds in a location where such properties seldom come to the market. Built in the 1950s and extended in more recent years, the property combines the charm and proportions of its era with a flexible layout suited to modern living, while also offering potential for further enhancement or development, subject to the necessary planning permission.

Internally, the accommodation is both generous and well-balanced, with a series of elegant interconnecting reception rooms that maximise light and garden views. The living room to the front features a marble fireplace and opens through to the dining room via a striking archway, while folding doors lead to the family room to the rear. The dining room is a particularly fine space, enhanced by a distinctive bow-shaped window overlooking the gardens and beautiful parquet flooring, while the family room enjoys a bay window to the rear and a further feature fireplace, creating a warm and inviting setting for everyday living.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted in a traditional style with a range of wall and floor units and enjoys views over the rear garden, with access to a rear lobby leading outside. A versatile study, also suitable as a fifth bedroom, is located at ground floor level and is served by a guest WC. At first floor level, the accommodation comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous main bedroom with dressing room and ensuite, along with a family bathroom and additional ensuite WC.

A standout feature of this fine home is the exceptional gardens which wrap around the property, offering a high degree of privacy and a wonderful sense of tranquillity. Laid mainly in lawn and bordered by mature hedging, the gardens are richly planted with an abundance of shrubs, trees and flowering plants, creating a secluded oasis of colour and greenery throughout the seasons. A circular patio area to the western side provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, while a separate sunroom accessed from the garden offers further versatility for a variety of uses.

The location is second to none, with a wealth of amenities including Airfield Estate and within easy reach of Stillorgan Village and the extensive retail and leisure facilities at Dundrum Town Centre. There is an excellent selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools in the vicinity, together with convenient access to public transport including the LUAS, ensuring ease of access to the city centre and beyond.
