Description
This 1940s terraced house has been transformed by a lovely bright extension to the rear containing a spacious family room with floor to ceiling triple-glazed patio doors opening to the large southerly facing sun deck. Four skylights flood this space with natural light, which is replaced at night time by extensive recessed lighting in an architect designed floating array.
At the end of the garden is a large (500sq.ft.) garage and storage shed with potential for conversion to a home office or granny flat (S.P.P.). The remote controlled garage door opens to a rear laneway from which is over 4.3m/14ft wide making vehicular access very easy.
To ensure proper spacing of viewings, Casey-Kennedy Estate Agents request that viewers register in advance by email. We will contact you to schedule an exact time for a viewing appointment within the advertised time range. Alternatively we are happy to do private viewings by appointment at this property.
This property has been extensively modernized and upgraded giving it a B3 BER rating, with dry-lined walls, excellent attic insulation, new energy efficient triple-glazed windows and a high efficiency condensing gas boiler. An additional shower room has been added under the stairs. The modern high gloss kitchen in the extension features white quartz counter tops with contrasting black subway wall tiling. It is fitted with a gas stove below a brand new stainless steel hood. The original dining room opens to the family room, making it the ideal spot for a playroom. On one wall is hardwood recessed shelving under which is a green-board at a child friendly height, ideal for creative chalk drawings and messages. The shelving could easily be removed at very little cost, to open a large hatch to the kitchen, if so desired.
Upstairs the bathroom has been fully modernized. In the bedrooms there are lovely clean lines with painted walls and wood effect flooring. There are two good sized doubles both with fitted wardrobes. The third bedroom is currently used as a home office, but would be large enough for a single bed if the fitted wardrobe was removed. A retractable attic ladder leads to a very spacious fully floored attic space.
A few doors down, at the junction with Balfe Road, is Stanford Green which is a popular play area for the local children. There is also a running track around the corner in Bunting Park. In nearby Pearse Park there are GAA and Soccer clubs with Swimming next door in the Swan Leisure Centre. Nearby Drimnagh Castle and gardens is an interesting and beautiful heritage site and uniquely the only moated castle in Ireland. There are highly regarded primary and secondary schools of the same name and Assumption National and Secondary Schools beside the Church of the Assumption in Walkinstown.
For shopping you have a choice of a large SuperValu on Walkinstown Road, an Aldi on the Long Mile Road and a Lidl on Walkinstown Avenue, and of course a wide range of smaller artisan shops. The pubs at The Halfway House and The Black Forge Inn are within easy walking distance.
There are employment hubs nearby at Crumlin Children's Hospital, Long Mile Road and Naas Road. The area is very well served by bus routes 18, 27, 56A, 77A, 123, 150 and 151.
