This powder pink Blackrock home has an extensive library and beautiful cast iron balcony

Dating from circa 1807, Summerville is located at 21 Cross Avenue, and is undoubtedly one of Blackrock’s most impressive and attractive residences.

Standing on approximately half an acre of wonderfully mature and secluded gardens, Summerville comprises a very imposing two storey over garden level detached residence with elaborate ironwork canopies to the front at hall floor level in addition to a most attractive cast iron balcony to the side and rear.

Providing over 515 sq m / 5,540 sq ft (approx.) of wonderfully elegant and flexible accommodation, this majestic property has retained its numerous period features enabling future home owners to create a truly outstanding residence of unique style and character.

Located to the side of the property is an annex, which currently provides additional accommodation to the main house but could be converted into a self-contained apartment, subject to planning permission.

From the original stained glass panels on the entrance porch to the breathtaking drawing room with an ornate shell and vine motif ceiling, original white marble mantlepiece and a glazed door leading to the balcony, charming details abound.

The kitchen boasts an AGA and Belfast sink, as well as a door off the space to a walk-in pantry. There is a large double glazed Hampton Conservatory, with a glazed pitched roof, tiled floor, John Daly radiator cover and double doors leading to the garden.

In addition to the six well-appointed bedrooms, there is also a home office, games room, an extensive library with wall-to-wall bookshelves, and an under-stairs store/cellar.

Currently on the market for €3,950,000 via Sherry FitzGerald Blackrock, Summerville is a truly exceptional home. Take a full virtual tour of the property through our gallery below.
