Clonard, 1 Glenavy Park, Kimmage, Dublin 6W, D6WRT10

Clonard is a beautifully restored Edwardian villa (c.1904) combining architectural heritage with refined contemporary living in a fabulous private setting behind electric gates. The impressive gardens of approximately 0.35 acres are beautifully landscaped enjoying wonderful privacy. Originally home to Lord & Lady Glenavy, this residence carries a rich cultural legacy. Its striking stained-glass entrance was designed by Lady Glenavy who enjoyed notoriety as an artist and sculptor of the time offering a rare and authentic connection to Ireland’s artistic and political history. Today, Clonard presents a compelling opportunity for international buyers, returning Irish and families seeking a premium South Dublin home of character offering flexible accommodation, excellent privacy and a highly sought-after location that supports hybrid living—family life, work, and entertaining—all under one roof. The entrance hall serves as the heart of the home, distinguished by its striking domed ceiling, intricate period cornicing, and beautifully panelled walls. This impressive space connects the generously proportioned accommodation while drawing in an abundance of natural light. The kitchen/dining area features a bespoke fitted kitchen equipped with high-end modern appliances, with double doors opening onto a private east-facing patio—perfect for outdoor dining. The drawing room enjoys a dual aspect, complete with a marble fireplace and a west-facing bay window. ‘Clonard’ extends over two storeys to the rear and benefits from a favourable west-facing orientation, with most rooms filled with sunlight throughout the day. The hall level comprises a luxurious principal bedroom with en-suite, a spacious second bedroom, a main bathroom, a garden room, and a living room with an original cast iron Edwardian balcony. At garden level, there are two further double bedrooms, a family room (or fifth bedroom), a shower room, utility room, and two store rooms, offering excellent flexibility. The gardens at Clonard are a standout feature, providing exceptional privacy thanks to mature hedging and hardwood trees. Designed for ease of maintenance, the lush grounds offer a tranquil retreat, complemented by a large patio ideal for entertaining and expansive lawns for recreation. To the front, a generous gravel driveway sits behind secure electric gates. The location is superb, set along a prestigious tree-lined road close to Terenure village, one of Dublin’s most sought-after areas.
