Property Description

Enjoying a quiet and secluded setting in a luxury private estate off Westminster Road, this charming architect-designed bungalow of over 199sq.m/2,142sq. ft approx to include the garage. is nestled on a mature total site of 0.3 acre approx. surrounded by landscaped gardens, an abundance of trees and shrubs. It boasts not only off-street parking to the front of the property and access to exquisitely maintained communal gardens but also additional parking to the rear of the property with a separate private entrance directly from Gordon Avenue. A large glass-fronted reception hall opens to two wings. To the left is a substantial living/dining room with brick open fireplace and large windows allowing natural light to flood the room which connects to a cosier sitting room located to the rear of the property with open fire, dual aspect and French doors to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the rear courtyard garden with room for a family dining table and extensive pantry. This opens into a utility room with fitted storage and direct access to the rear courtyard. To the right of the reception hall is a cosy family room with floor to ceiling window. A corridor serves four double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a family bathroom and main bedroom with extensive wardrobe space, ensuite shower room and direct access to the garden. Separate to the house is a carport that connects the rear garden and courtyard and a detached garage accessed from the Gordon Avenue entrance. This wonderful family home was loved for almost half a century by the current owners and is now in need of a new lease of life for the next 50.

The mature gardens that surround this property are lush with thoughtfully planted trees and shrubbery of myriad hues, not to mention the towering pine trees that inspired the name of this peaceful haven. The open garden to the front offers ample parking and stretches of lawn, one of which runs down the side of the property to the rear access gate and secondary parking, with garage and carport. An internal courtyard behind the garage can be accessed from the kitchen and sitting room. With a patio area, lawn and mature planting this is an ideal oasis for summer barbeques.

The wider estate, where songbirds and squirrels share the beauty of manicured gardens, stone arches and shady pergolas, is steeped in history, constructed around an early 20th century mansion where Senator Horace Plunkett hosted many of the poets, playwrights and politicians that shaped modern Ireland: W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, Roger Casement and, four days before he was assassinated, Michael Collins.
The location is superb, only a few minutes away from charming Foxrock village with its many amenities including bijou shops, boutiques and cafes, Foxrock Golf Club, Leopardstown Racecourse, Carrickmines Lawn Tennis Club and Westwood Fitness Club. There are many well regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, St Brigids NS, Hollypark NS and Loreto College Foxrock. The M50, N11 with the QBC and the Luas are a short distance away offering easy access to the city centre.
