Set across three storeys, this incredible home gives off the energy of a modern treehouse, but is filled with elegant touches and clean design throughout.
Located at 88 Merrion Road, just opposite the British Embassy in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, this truly outstanding Scandinavian-style detached residence was built in 2004 and extends to a very generous 302sq.m/3,250.7sq.ft.
Arranged over three floors, this very unique home was constructed and finished to exacting standards throughout, boasting elegant accommodation with a blend of warmth and clean design. Upon entering the property, one is welcomed into the terracotta-tiled entrance porch and hallway, complete with corner windows that wrap around the stairwell.
The study contains a feature triangular-shaped window to the front, ceiling cornicing, surround sound and solid oak flooring. The kitchen, breakfast room and utility area are located to the back of the property, with a set of double doors opening out onto the rear garden and patio decking area.
There is a large living room spanning front to rear of the property with ceiling cornicing, surround sound, recessed ceiling lighting and solid oak flooring throughout. It contains a fine Portuguese Mocha fireplace with coal coal-effect gas fire inset. Double glass French doors lead to the rear garden, and a box window overlooks the front driveway and garden.
On the first floor, there is a spacious landing with cornicing, recessed ceiling lighting and an alarm pad. On this level, there are four bedrooms, two ensuites, and a family bathroom. On the second floor, there are two further double bedrooms, an ensuite and another living room, or perhaps a games room. Large corner windows to the front and back of the stairwell are very prominent and allow an abundance of natural light into this side of the property.
The front garden is walled on all sides, with a cobblelock driveway providing off-street parking for two to three cars. It can be accessed via electronic gates and is bordered on all sides by a selection of evergreen Laurel trees and an array of specimen shrubs. There is side access on both sides of the property.
To the rear of the property, the large timber decking and patio area provides a superb space for al fresco dining and entertaining. Beyond the decking area, the garden is predominantly laid in lawn with a selection of trees, cherry blossoms and laurel hedging to the rear. It is walled and fenced on all sides with a block-built boiler house and outdoor lighting.
Located close to the junction with Sandymount Avenue and just a three-minute walk to Sandymount Dart Station, the property is within a pleasant stroll of an extensive choice of amenities including Herbert Park, The RDS, Merrion Cricket Club and Belvedere Rugby grounds and the excellent shopping and recreational facilities of Ballsbridge, Sandymount and Donnybrook.
