Sherry FitzGerald takes great pleasure presenting this outstanding detached home, standing on (approx.) a 2 acre plot of manicured gardens and woodland, creating a perfect, idyllic semi rural retreat on the outskirts of the city. Originally built in c.1970, but having undergone major reconstruction by the current owner in c.1997 the property offers incredible space, measuring an impressive 556sq.m./5,985sq.ft. (approx.) with enough room for even the largest families. With flexible accommodation over two floors the property has its own gym, sauna and 32ft swimming pool and would make the ideal property for fitness enthusiasts and those who enjoy entertaining. On entering the gated driveway you are greeted by a sweeping drive up to the house, which takes you to a large parking area with ample space for several vehicles. You enter the house through the porch, with its vaulted ceiling, setting off the feeling of space found throughout the house. The entrance hallway leads to a variety of rooms, with the living room on the immediate right. This is a large reception room with a feature fireplace creating the focal point and a dual aspect allowing the natural light to flood in. From here there is a door to the dining room, with built in seating units and a further door through to the kitchen area. This really is the heart of the home, a large open plan space incorporating the fitted kitchen with a large island unit, opening up to a living/dining space with a cosy feature fireplace with solid fuel stove insert. There is a utility off the kitchen with access to the integral garage and a large storage space. At the front of the house on the ground floor is a double bedroom and further office/bedroom 5, as well as a downstairs shower room. At the rear of the house there is a vast conservatory/sun lounge with views across the rear garden, from which you can access the pool and gym area. This can also be accessed from the rear garden and the swimming pool has a safe depth of 4ft throughout, making it ideal for supervised children. There is a wooden clad sauna which would feel at home in an Alpine village, whilst the gym has ample space for equipment and a separate WC. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, the main of which is a superb size, incorporating plenty of wardrobe space and an ensuite shower room. Bedroom 2 also has an ensuite facility, whilst there is a further bathroom and a fantastic games room, spacious enough for a multitude of uses and would be ideal for older children to have their own space, but equally could make a large bedroom. Outside the gardens are a joy, just under two acres of wonderful outdoor space with gardens to the front and rear, as well as woodland, which you will share with a variety of wildlife. This mature setting has a diverse mix trees, plants and lawns with outdoor patio seating areas. The location is excellent, ideally situated within a short drive of Limerick city centre with its array of eateries and leisure facilities, as well as Corbally Village, with shopping and supermarkets within minutes of the house. Situated within a few hundred meters from Larkins Pub and shop/petrol station, there are two schools within walking distance. The University of Limerick is just three kilometers (approx.) down the road. Conveniently positioned to a number of road networks as well as the beauty spots of Ballina/Killaloe, the M7 to Dublin, M20 to Cork and N18 to Shannon Airport and Galway are all easily accessible.
