Belvedere 124 Mount Merrion Ave Blackrock, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, A94P2F4

Belvedere is on Mount Merrion Avenue, an impressive and substantial detached residence standing proud on a magnificent mature south facing garden of approximately 0.25acre. It is a rare occasion when such a fine family home graces the market and Belvedere provides a unique opportunity for the discerning purchaser to acquire a foothold within this desirable and highly convenient location. Built in 1945 and in the same family ownership for over 40 years, Belvedere is a detached five bedroom residence, which whilst having been exceptionally well-maintained over the years would now benefit from modernisation providing an opportunity for the purchaser to upgrade and extend if so desired to their own taste to create the house of their dreams. The site of approximately 0.25 acre is a wonderful south facing oasis of peace and tranquillity being particularly mature, sheltered and well stocked with an abundance of mature shrubs, water feature, trees and plants and providing further opportunity for expansion. The property is approached by a large front garden providing ample off street parking.
