Kilfoylan, Lower Glenageary Road, Glenageary, Co. Dublin, A96D5F9

Built in approximately 1909, this magnificent Edwardian residence boasts an elegant part pebble-dash, part red-brick façade and is approached from Lower Glenageary Road. A gravelled drive to the front provides generous off-street parking for multiple cars and is complemented by an enclosed side passage connecting to the beautiful rear garden. This exceptionally elegant home offers well-proportioned and thoughtfully laid-out accommodation over two floors. At ground level, the welcoming entrance hall features understairs storage and a shower room. Two beautiful reception rooms are positioned to the front, with the living room opening through to a stunning open-plan kitchen, family and dining area. This impressive space is flooded with natural light, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling glazing and sliding doors that open directly onto the rear garden. A study/utility area complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, there are five generous bedrooms and a family bathroom. The attic is notably spacious and offers enormous potential for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions, to further enhance the overall living space, as has been successfully achieved in neighbouring properties. One of the many outstanding features of this magnificent home is the expansive rear garden, extending to approximately 52 metres (170 feet). Laid out predominantly in lawn, it is richly planted with mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants, and includes a productive vegetable and fruit garden. Two Indian sandstone patio areas together with a raised red brick patio area provide ideal spaces for outdoor entertaining, and the rear garden is further complemented by compost storage areas and a garden shed. Kilfoylan enjoys an unrivalled location of exceptional convenience, within a stone’s throw of every conceivable amenity in Dun Laoghaire, Glasthule, Sandycove and Dalkey. These include extensive shopping facilities, an excellent selection of cafés and restaurants, the IMC Cinema and the Lexicon Library, as well as a wealth of scenic coastal walks along the seafront, East and West Piers and through the People’s Park. Monkstown Village, renowned for its boutique shops, cafés and some of South County Dublin’s finest restaurants is also within a pleasant stroll. A wide range of highly regarded primary and secondary schools are located nearby such as Rathdown, The Harold, Castlepark, Loreto Dalkey and St. Joseph of Cluny, while excellent public transport links are provided by the DART and numerous bus routes such as the 7, 7A, 45A and 7D. Recreational and leisure amenities are superb, with rugby, football, GAA, hockey and tennis clubs all close at hand. The four yacht clubs and marina at Dun Laoghaire Harbour, together with its iconic twin piers, will be of particular appeal to sailing, bathing and marine enthusiasts.
