174 Balally Drive, Dundrum, Dublin, D16KV76

Mason Estates are delighted to bring this bright three-bedroom semi-detached house in the mature residential estate of Balally to the market. The house, built circa 1970, is well proportioned, and with its high ceilings and large windows gives a real sense of space and light throughout. The property has recently been painted and comes to the market in very good condition, while also providing massive potential to extend at the rear, with precedent on either side. There is off-street parking, side access, and a large shed at the rear of the garden with power. The convenience of this property cannot be overstated with Kilmacud Luas, Dundrum Shopping centre, numerous primary and secondary schools, and excellent sports clubs all within walking distance. The property briefly consists of a porch with double glazed sliding doors, and a ceramic tiled floor. Moving in to the house is the bright entrance hallway with tiled floors, a storage cupboard and under stairs storage. There is an open plan living/dining room built around the fireplace, that could be converted into a feature fireplace or could be removed all together to make one big room or two separate rooms. The floors are wooden laminate and large windows allow a great flow of light. The adjacent kitchen is plumbed for gas, has floor tiles, and ample counter space and storage. Upstairs there are 2 large double bedrooms, and a large single bedroom that has wall-to-wall floor to ceiling wardrobes, and the main bathroom. The master bedroom has floor to ceiling slide robe wardrobes, with carpets running throughout. While the bathroom has floor to ceiling tiles, a bath, and an electric shower. There is a stira up to the attic which is partially floored and provides excellent storage. There is a good pitch in the roof of the attic which would lend to a potential attic conversion (there is precedent on the road) with a bedroom and an en-suite, subject to planning permission. The large rear garden has massive potential to extend, and there is a large block built shed with power that could easily be converted into a home office or a gym. While the BER is currently an E1 the BER advisory report states that the house could be upgraded to an A2 without huge costs and that there are grants available for most of the works. Balally is a great location to raise a family with St Olafs, Mount Anville, Ballinteer Educate Together & Holy Cross national schools, and St Benildus, Mount Anville, Goatstown Educate Together, St Tiernan's, Oatlands, St Killian's, De La Salle Churchtown and High School secondary schools all within striking distance. Transport links are excellent with Kilmacud Luas a ten-minute walk, the 44, 44b 114 and 116 bus stops all around the corner, and a mere five-minute drive to the M50 providing ease of access to the city and the surrounding countryside. There are numerous excellent sports and social clubs including Naomh Olaf, Kilmacud Crokes and Ballinteer St John GAA clubs, Balally Celtic, St Mary's and Dundrum Football clubs, and a host of golf clubs including The Grange, The Castle and Milltown to name a few. The are several public parks close by and it is a five-minute drive to Ticknock and the Dublin mountains. In short, this is a great family home in an excellent location and viewing is highly recommended.
