2 Fairbrook House, Ballyboden Road, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, D14K7V0

Hunters Estate Agent is delighted to introduce this stunning butterley brick fronted detached family home. The property which is set in a small private enclave was built in 2009 on the site of the old Fairbrook House and was designed by the well-known architect Brian O'Donoghue. Extending to a generous 213sq.m/2,293sq.ft the property has been further upgraded by the owners with the addition of a stunning Newcastle Design kitchen and bespoke built in storage units and window seats. Outside the large west facing rear garden has been landscaped by award winning garden designer Darren Joyce to create a stunning low maintenance retreat ideal for kids with an inset trampoline, artificial lawn, mature specimen planting and a large sun terrace. The three houses in the enclave face out to the Owendoher River and the trees and greenery on its banks give wonderful privacy to the houses. Throughout the property there are generous proportions and a wonderful quality of light due in large part to the sunny aspect and clever use of glazing. Viewing is highly recommended. Upon entering the property, one is welcomed by an entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor. To the left one finds a useful playroom/ home office with bay window and bespoke cabinetry and a spacious guest w.c. with built in storage. To the right double doors lead to the large living room with bay window which boasts built in alcove storage units and a marble fire surround with open fire. To the rear the large kitchen/dining/family room is the real heart of the house. Light floods in from the large windows and roof lights. The kitchen area is anchored by the stunning bespoke Newcastle design kitchen with units painted in Stiffkey blue. The large quartz countertop flows around the kitchen and into a breakfast bar while hidden behind the units there is a Liebherr fridge, dishwasher, larder cupboard and magic corner unit. The 1000mm Rangemaster professional electric range cooker will feed a large family with ease and is included in the sale. Off the kitchen there is a well-equipped utility room with built in wall and floor units and the essential sink. There is also a door to the side passage and access to understairs storage space. The dining area flows from the kitchen and runs through to the light filled family area opening to the garden and sun terrace through French doors.

The bedroom looks out to the front of the house and has a lovely sylvan and private aspect. A further three generous bedrooms with built in storage and a well-equipped main bathroom complete the accommodation on this level. The top floor has the advantage of a large bedroom with both luxuriously appointed ensuite and dressing area and could serve as the main bedroom or alternatively would suit a myriad of alternative uses.
