Description
DNG are proud to present 8 Rathdown Drive to the open market. Representing a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial four-bedroom semi-detached family home in one of Terenure's most sought-after and well-established residential areas. Properties of this calibre, with such exceptional potential, seldom come to the market, making this a truly special offering for discerning purchasers seeking to create a bespoke family home in a prime Dublin location.
Occupying an impressive site, the property is further enhanced by a magnificent 99ft. approx. south/east facing rear garden, an increasingly rare and highly desirable feature. Fully walled for privacy and seclusion, this expansive outdoor space provides endless possibilities for extension (subject to planning permission), landscaping, and outdoor living. The property also benefits from a garage and covered side access, offering both practicality and convenience, while the generous proportions make it ideal for families and those who enjoy entertaining. To the front, the property is complemented by off-street parking, adding to its overall appeal.
Internally, the accommodation is well laid out with a natural flow throughout. While in need of modernisation and upgrading, the home offers a solid structure and well-proportioned rooms that provide an excellent foundation for transformation. Of particular note is the interconnecting layout between the living/dining room and a separate family room, accessed via internal doors, creating a versatile and open feel that is perfectly suited to modern family living and entertaining alike. This adaptable configuration allows for both formal and informal spaces, catering to a variety of lifestyles.
The property offers the perfect balance of space, location, and potential, inviting its next owner to reimagine and refurbish to their own taste and exacting standards. With the right vision, No. 8 can be transformed into a truly exceptional residence that combines classic proportions with contemporary design.
Combining a prestigious address, exceptional outdoor space, and immense scope for enhancement, 8 Rathdown Drive is undoubtedly a “trophy” home in waiting. An outstanding opportunity to create a forever home in one of Dublin's most desirable and family-friendly neighbourhoods.
