This attractive five-bedroom semi-detached residence is perfect for family living with the extended accommodation measuring 178 sqm (excluding garage) proportioned over two floors.

Behind cast iron gates a tarmacadam drive provides off street parking for 2-3 cars. To the left of the drive there is a neat lawn and to the right there is access to the garage and a gated sideway to the expansive rear garden. Having been owned by the same family for over 60 years, the property has retained its 1950’s charm with many detailed features remaining intact. Entering the property, the entrance hall comprises carpeted flooring, decorative ceiling coving, and under stairs storage. Interconnecting reception rooms sit to the left of hall, both feature original fireplaces, and further on are the dining room and conservatory with garden access.

Moving to the right, steps lead down to a utility room with W.C. and adjacent to this room is the pantry and garage. Upstairs, on the first floor there are five bedrooms - four double and one single. All three front bedrooms command sweeping views of Killiney Bay across to Dalkey Island with Howth in the backdrop while the two rear bedrooms look toward the Great Sugarloaf. A W.C. serves two of the bedrooms and a full family bathroom off the landing serves all. The property also has a floored attic, accessed by a stira staircase. Externally, the rear garden is another wonderful asset to this fine family home. Southwest facing, the garden measures 50 m approx. with a mature hedging border and complete privacy. Cleverly sectioned into three the first section incorporates a patio area, lawn, and a decked area which takes full advantage of the sunny orientation. At the midpoint there is a second lawned space and a large Barna shed caters for outdoor storage requirements - extremely useful for a garden of this size!
