18 Leopardstown Avenue, Blackrock, Co Dublin, A94 KX36

A bright and spacious five-bedroom home in a mature residential setting, 18 Leopardstown Avenue has been lovingly cared for by its current owners and is well presented throughout. With three reception rooms, five bedrooms, a private rear garden and parking for two cars, this is a rare opportunity to find a home with so much room in such a convenient location. The house has a welcoming feel from the moment you enter. Double doors lead from the tiled entrance hall into a reception hall with mahogany block flooring. To the front, the living room features an attractive open fireplace and connects through double doors to the dining room. Open the doors or close them to enjoy two distinct spaces. A large picture window brings light into the dining room and frames a lovely view of the rear garden. The separate study is another valuable addition. Positioned to the front of the house, it offers the flexibility to be a home office, playroom, television room or quiet retreat. The kitchen has an extensive range of fitted units, an integrated oven and a ceramic hob. Its door to the covered side passage makes day-to-day life that bit easier, with useful space for storage and clothes drying and plumbing for a washing machine. Upstairs, five bedrooms give everyone room to spread out. The main bedroom and second bedroom have extensive built-in wardrobes, while a window on the half landing draws even more natural light into the house. The accommodation is completed by the main bathroom. Double-glazed PVC windows and gas-fired central heating are fitted throughout. Outside, the rear garden is laid out in lawn and enjoys a high degree of privacy and seclusion: a wonderful space for summer meals or simply relaxing outdoors. There is off-street parking for two cars to the front. The covered side passage connects the front and rear of the property, and a separate boiler house contains the gas-fired central heating boiler. The location is ideal for enjoying everything this part of South Dublin has to offer. Stillorgan is close by for shops, cafés and everyday amenities, while Leopardstown Tennis Club is just around the corner. Clonmore Park, Leopardstown Golf and Race course and Kilmacud Crokes add to the excellent choice of local sporting and recreational facilities.
