23 Ballinteer Park, Ballinteer, Dublin 16, D16X362

Dating from the early 1930s, 23 Ballinteer Park forms part of the historic development of Ballinteer, an area which evolved significantly during this period from a rural village setting into one of south Dublin’s most established residential locations. The neighbouring Ballinteer Gardens development was built by the Irish Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Land Trust to provide homes for returning servicemen, while the wider Ballinteer Park area formed part of these early residential schemes that helped shape the character of the locality. No. 23 retains all the charm and character associated with homes of this era, including its distinctive double-fronted façade and original period features, while occupying an exceptional site with tremendous scope to create a truly impressive family home. The accommodation is wonderfully presented and combines the character of the 1930s with the comforts required for modern living. Original features include attractive cast iron fireplaces, while the property also benefits from double-glazed windows and gas-fired central heating. The well-proportioned accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall, bright dual-aspect living room with wood-burning stove, traditional kitchen/breakfast room, guest WC, separate shower room and two generous double bedrooms. A particular feature of this superb home is the exceptional site on which it stands. The property enjoys an unusually wide side garden with vehicle access, offering significant potential to extend the existing residence, subject to the necessary planning permission. To the rear, the garden extends to approximately 26 metres (85 feet) in length and provides a wonderfully private setting, beautifully planted with mature trees, shrubs and established planting. The property also benefits from substantial detached ancillary accommodation to the rear, extending to approximately 60 sq.m. (645 sq.ft.).
