9 Saint Michael's Terrace, Athy, Athy, Co. Kildare, R14T262

Fingleton and Co are delighted to present No 9 Saint Michael’s Terrace, an artisan, double-fronted home originally built by the renowned builders D & J Carbery in the early 20th century. The property has been lovingly restored by the present owners who are moving to a larger family home. The property has retained many of its features including the restoration of the Athy Brick Company chimney breast which has been exposed, the high ceilings, and the double-fronted bay window which floods the interior with light, complemented by the full-height glazed windows overlooking the kitchen area. Restoration of the property includes many features including the birch ply kitchen, fully tiled hallway, kitchen/dining area leading into the utility and ground floor bathroom. The layout is also perfect for those who may like to plan for downstairs living into the future. The property also includes well-planned lighting and detailed interior finishes. The rear garden is well designed for a small space, and well orientated, with a paved patio area under a cantilevered portico, lawn, and retention of the old brick wall that forms the perimeter of the rear garden leading to the back alley. This is a shared access area for bins, oil supplies etc. A hidden feature is the insulated small garden/office/shed which provides an outdoor working area. Last but not least, is the property’s location. Situated just a stone’s throw from Athy Train Station, the property offers the commuter a sustainable commuting option by public transport as the train is situated on the Athy/Waterford line, just 50 minutes from Dublin. The property is also adjacent to the magnificent People’s Park, town centre and just across from Lidl. Athy is in the process of major improvements including the recently opened Shackleton Museum, and redesign of Emily Square. The renovation of the old Model School has involved considerable investment by Kildare Co. Co. The development of the Blueway project, along with the Athy distributor road, has considerably improved the lifestyle of Athy’s residents. There are several options on schools, and an amazing choice of clubs and a host of local natural trails and walks available to the public in the Athy area. No. 9 has set a precedent for the identification of Saint Michael’s Terrace as a worthwhile investment for a quality home, a retirement property or simply just a wonderful place to live.
