Description
Set on one of Dublin 14's most prestigious and picturesque roads, just moments from the charm and convenience of Milltown Village, this substantial detached family residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional space, privacy, and future potential. Designed and built by its owner, a Civil Engineer, and lovingly occupied by the same family since 1973, the property stands on beautifully mature gardens extending to almost a quarter of an acre, enjoying a peaceful, tree-lined setting that feels wonderfully secluded while remaining close to the city.
Currently extending to approximately 161 sq.m. across the ground and first floors, this impressive home also benefits from a vast third-storey level, currently used as attic space, spanning two large full height rooms with windows which, once converted, would yield a substantially greater overall floor area. This is a home perfectly suited to growing families and those seeking room to create their forever home. In 1997, planning permission (Ref: D97B/0521) was granted for a first-floor extension to the right-hand side, where foundations are already in place. While never completed, this presents exciting scope for future owners to explore a similar application should additional accommodation be desired.
Inside, the accommodation is bright, spacious, and thoughtfully arranged throughout. A welcoming porch leads to the entrance hall with staircase. To the left are an elegant living room and formal dining room, while to the right sit a comfortable sitting room and guest cloakroom. To the rear, the home opens into a generous family room, breakfast room, kitchen, and utility/laundry room, ideal spaces for modern family living and entertaining alike.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing gives access to four large bedrooms together with a recently upgraded shower room. Of particular note is the extensive full room-height attic level, already benefiting from front and rear-facing windows, making conversion both straightforward and highly cost-effective, with the potential to add significant additional floor area to the home.
The location is second to none. St Stephen's Green is just a 4km walk away, while Milltown Luas stop and the village itself are within a pleasant 1km stroll. Dundrum Town Centre is also nearby, with UCD, excellent schools, bus routes, parks, and every conceivable amenity close at hand.
Homes of this calibre, on gardens of this size & orientation, in such an established and sought-after setting rarely come to market. Combining timeless appeal, generous proportions, and remarkable potential, this is a truly special Dublin family home waiting for its next chapter. Accommodation
